July 4th Declaration of Independents

Event Date: 
July 4, 2023 (All day)

What single word best describes America?

To choose the best word, one must first understand ancient history and have some sense of what has transpired during the last 3750 years of recorded history. America has only existed for around seven percent of recorded history. Some who study history have noted that most of human history has been little more than murder and slavery. Historical observation of this fact has made the Darwin theories very popular by those who endorse the Darwinian ideals as the most desirable. If mankind were mere animals Darwin would be right in his theories of survival of the fittest. However ponder a world that excludes Einstein, or Mozart, or Da Vinci, or Socrates or Jesus and then suggest we should emulate the animals behaviors instead of transcending our animal nature to become more than human.

The founding of America represents a singular milestone in history as an attempt to use the lessons of history to create a new type of nation that had never existed before: a Constitutional Democratic Republic. All these words are misused by tyrannical countries today, that attempt to claim some similarity with America. However there are now many younger nations who rightfully claim some, if not all of the same words, rights and freedoms. Yet America still stands alone as a singular nation whose evolving ideals are unmatched anywhere in the world. Though some nations have exceeded us in some regards, Socialists try to prevent our nation from achieving the goals of a more perfect nation (or at least as perfect as men can divine to make it). It is fair to note that many of our politicians would throw out the founding principles, ideals and goals and start anew by proposing changes that would emulate totalitarian tyrannies like Socialism and Communism. Perhaps we should review how America came to be different from the perspective of Ancient History. Then perhaps we might understand why millions cross our borders today, fleeing from the tyrannies of Socialist and Communist dictatorships.

America today is the first and oldest Constitutional Democratic Republic in the World as a singular nation with a heritage born of many ancient ideas gleaned from the wisdom of History. The oldest comes from the Ten Commandments plus Christian morality and freedoms based on the teachings from a Jewish Rabbi about faith, hope and love which is another ancient time tested element. Greek Democracy, where the common people were acknowledged as the strength for an enduring nation using self rule, became codified within our Constitution. Justice and Ethics evolving over a millennium into Holy Roman Common Law based on Judaeo Christian principles became the foundation of all western law which was inspired as Commandments from God. These principles and traditions have forged our singular nation that is still today historically unique among all the nations of the Earth throughout recorded history. Yet there are many who try to discard the lessons of history to advance some newly perverted word substitute for slavery and tyranny. The Orwellian language perverts always fail in countless ways.

The oldest Constitutional founding document in the world is our Declaration of Independence which would later inform our Constitution as principles to be codified into law. The Declaration states that our rights are endowed by our Creator which cannot be taken by governments of mankind. A recognition that all men are created equal, which ended importing of slaves within twenty five years after the signing of the Constitution, was resolved at great sacrifice on the sacred battlefields of the Civil War as the greatest war against Slavery in the history of the world. Chief among these principles were safeguards against tyranny by a separation of powers. This was codified as twenty three limited enumerated powers for all branches of government. Our next election may well determine whether any of these limits on power still exist within our bureaucracy or whether our government is to have unlimited power over the people who would be brought low asservile and subservient to those in power. The principle that the government is a servant of the people is presently questioned by most socialists who repeat the errors of history and believe that this should be reversed.

There are many words that might apply to our nation today which might differ from what the Founders intended. Based on our founders intention which word, that best describes America, would you choose from this list below and which important word is missing from this list or what would you add?

Freedom? Equality? Duty? Honor? Home? Country? Flag? Justice? Bravery? Valor?

Some, from the lower Bell curves, would choose words like inclusion, diversity, equity or reparations to replace all the words above based on loose leaf history that creates an imaginary past with imaginary claims. These Orwellian engineered words are chosen by natural slaves and tyrants who use altered meanings to; promote, divide, espouse, mask and disguise secular socialist slavery for all mankind. However, none of these altered perverted words could be the singular word chosen to describe any free nation because they are valued more for unquestioned propaganda slogans rather than truth.

We know the word chosen by our President Biden who said; “America can be defined by one word! Uh ah foothills of the Himalayas er uh traveling with Gi Gi Ping over fifteen thousand miles uh ah ...”

I have no idea what the President intended to say, and perhaps there are misquotes from mumbling, but I think grade school children would exhibit more mindfulness and language skills than President Biden who was selected and elected by the bottom of the Bell Curve voters.

The one word that describes America is Liberty. But why Liberty? And what does Liberty mean?

Though we still have some freedoms left, most of us have forgotten the responsibility that is on the obverse side of a coin of freedom. Just as you cannot have a one sided coin so then one cannot have a one sided freedom or a right without responsibility. Liberty equals Freedom plus responsibility for each and every individual U.S. Citizen. Thus are the coins of freedom and right forged into liberty. Liberty is on many of our national coins as a reminder of both civil and economic freedoms. Accepting the responsibility that goes with those coins of freedom is what reminds us all of Liberty which is a blessing from God (or Nature's God for those few who prefer to worship their own tiny monkey brained arrogance.) It is only in God that we trust, for history has taught that worshiping men as rulers makes us mindless lower bell curve slaves and is as futile as mindlessly repeating slogans without thought or questions.

Let us once again ring the Liberty Bells of freedom this July fourth that always echos within the hearts and minds of our citizens to celebrate our great singular nation of Liberty. In only three years, our nation will celebrate our sesquicentennial milestone of 250 years since signing of The Declaration that was the founding of our nation. Let us today reaffirm that Declaration of Independence by declaring our own personal declaration of like minded 3CLP Independents who will make America great again. May freedom ring all the Liberty Bells throughout the world as all mankind celebrates Liberty and Justice for all.

May God bless, renew and restore both our great nation and our great people and may you, dear patriotic reader, while explaining some of this to lower Bell Curve voters, have a very thoughtful, thankful, and glorious 4th of July. And when you see our American Flag think of America as our sweet land of Liberty where all of us have been so privileged and most fortunate, among all men, to be so singularly blessed by God.
