    Default Today

    We celebrate the single most important sentence ever written in the English language. "We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." From the beginning we as a nation have failed to live up to that creed but we have always struggled toward it. For that reason I could not be prouder to be a an American.
    I can think of few acts more selfish than refusing a vaccination.

    Arrow and for everyday ...

    ... the Preamble to the Constitution.

    "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

    Written by our WOKE forefathers.

    All the best to all today and everyday.

    " and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, "
    And why is it that WE ALLOW sooooo many of our politicians to take and apply this quite literally ........ to ONLY themselves and THIER posterity!!!
    MANY things MUST be changed.
    Still one of the best countries though.
    Happy day after the FOURTH....

    John Scott,
    Our founders certainly were not WOKE by todays definition of the term. The word never existed until this bounce of idiots came along.

    John -

    You are soooo predictable.

    My use of the word is consistent with the definitions found in various sources, if you care to invest the time to look them up and give them some thought, and they go back long before the time whenever "this bounce of idiots came along" which I take you to mean some recent and current group of folks. Please correct me if I am wrong on that last point.

    All the best to you as you do some further study on this subject and give it the thought that it deserves.

    No more study needed. I know my history and I know the current WOKE mentality and I don't agree with the current movement by this select few. It deserves know further thought on my part. The best to you as well.

    This deserves no further study on my part. Sorry that you are so misguided on this subject. Not so sure what you mean by predictable, but yes, I am very concerned about the future of our great Republic and what some are doing to destroy or change it. Obviously you have other thought.
    God Bless America
