On that note, Bush's Independence Day speech is on.

"Today, all who live in tyranny, and all who yearn for freedom, place their hopes only in the United States of America."

Truth, I think. And it illustrates the power of the Declaration of Independence, as the blueprint for a society based upon liberty and personal freedom. You who would whine and complain about supposed wrongs done to evil men, who make specious allegations of despotism and conspiracy against the current administration, remember what the country stands for. Remember that acquiescing to the demands of foreign tyrants was precisely what the founding fathers refused. Think about who Liberians have begged to save them from ruthless dictatorship - not the UN, not France, not Germany, but the US.

Bitch and moan all you like. Until every federal and state bill is vetoed, Congress is called in random places across the country then subsequently dissolved, elections are cancelled, population growth is forbidden, martial law is imposed, troops are quartered in private homes, taxes are arbitrarily raised (say, didn't I hear something about a tax cut? No?), interstate commerce and movement is restricted, the judiciary is subverted to the executive, and German mercenaries are imported to keep the proles in line...you don't have a leg to stand on. You have no clue what real tyranny is.

To you, sirs, I say Happy Independence Day. You may not appreciate it, but freedom is your birthright nonetheless. For that we should all be thankful.
