Happy 4th! Part 3

leave a comment »

Read a homeschooling  mom’s view of our Constitution.   Pat Boone wonders if we still  want the freedom  our Founding Fathers gave us, and someone else asks if we still know  what freedom is.  Victor Davis Hanson ponders how  free individuals  made it work.

Watch George Will  defending the Constitution.   Toby Harnden takes a look from at our state of gloom.   Mark Steyn isn’t that much more cheerful.    But Brit Andrew Stuttaford tells us why he admires our  Independence Day.    London is celebrating by unveiling a statue of Ronald  Reagan.  Of course,  leftist groups don’t view this day  with my enthusiasm.

Just for fun,  read what the 4th means to a whole crowd of National Review stars,  beginning here,  and  here,  and  here.  The fourth installment  is here.

For the gun enthusiasts,  who like me believe that an armed citizenry is a free one,  have some history  on one particular gun.

We have so long been the home of the free due to the efforts of the brave.    Read the document  upon which we rest.   Now the final question is,  are you willing to spend your time and treasure defending what is left of us,  or will you silently,  sullenly,  sink into the abyss which His Oneness is pushing us toward?   Your state of mind  determines the outcome.
