Independence Day 2022 Message

Joseph Warren, a physician and one of the Sons of Liberty offered these words: "Ease and prosperity (though pleasing for a day) have often sunk a people into effeminacy and sloth. The man who meanly will submit to wear a shackle, condemns the noblest gift of heaven, and impiously affronts the God that made him free."

Now, I ask the reader, why do you suppose the first generation of American Patriots would forgo the "ease and prosperity" for the animating contest of freedom? Could the answer to that question define the spirit of American Patriotism then, and dare I say, now?

Think about this, many of us are the ideological lineages of those who once pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor. Just as our forefathers were, we must be willing to "support and defend" liberty at all costs. It is not a calling for those who "love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animating contest of freedom." As for the circumstances today, in a nation under siege by the enemies of liberty within, those in command and control of the Democrat Collectivist Party.

Recall the words of George Washington in 1777, when the obstacles to American Liberty seemed insurmountable: "We should never despair, our situation before has been unpromising and has changed for the better, so I trust, it will again. If new difficulties arise, we must only put forth new exertions and proportion our efforts to the exigency of the times." Likewise, the aforementioned, Dr. Joseph Warren wrote: "Our country is in danger, but not to be despaired of. Our enemies are numerous and powerful; but we have many friends, determining to be free, and heaven and earth will aid the resolution. On you depend on the fortunes of America. You are to decide the important question, on which rest the happiness and liberty of millions yet unborn. Act worthy of yourselves."

To avoid the tunnel vision associated with the leftist siege, and the incessant tendered disinformation, misinformation, indoctrination, propaganda... from leftist media Macaws or talking heads and illuminators we must never lose sight of so much that is good and right about our Republic. History tells us the trials and tribulations we endured, and the lessons learned. We understand that restoration and preservation of Liberty is a generational process and never rests on one political campaign or cycle. We know we are on the right side of history when the other side constantly endeavors to undermine Liberty.

President Ronald Reagen once stated; "America's best days are yet to come. Our proudest moments are yet to be. Our most glorious achievements are just ahead." Let us not fool ourselves. Understand there is no rest for Patriots. 

Patriots, remember who we are together and from what stock we came. We are sons and daughters from all walks of life, heirs to the blessings of Liberty bequeathed to us at great personal cost by our forebears, confirmed in the opinion that it is our duty to God and Country to extend that blessing to our posterity. We are bound by our "sacred honor" to that end. We will prevail, come hell or high water. We will never give up. We will never give in. Be buoyed by the remarkable power that has enlivened and invigorated Patriots from the dawn of our nation, who understood, as George Washington declared, "Our cause is noble; it is the cause of all mankind."
