I remember when we used to really celebrate the 4th of July. It wasn’t Independence Day. It was much more than that. On Christmas day we gave thanks and enjoyed the Gift and our families and friends. But on the 4th, we celebrated.
Since I was born, we have gotten TV, space ships, and the nuclear age. Things have really speeded up. So much has changed in just my lifetime. And the changes to this country have been just as accelerated.
There is no longer any resistance to the destruction of our Constitution and way of life in the government. The brakes are off, the accelerator is stuck, the government is bigger than us, and is running out of control.
It’s still the biggest celebration of the year, but there’s less to celebrate.
