Problem is, they are from where they came and won't leave the rest of us alone to our liberty.

I was wondering yesterday---How far have we fallen if the words of our founders once again sound radical.

  You have lost some of the sentimentality we discussed yesterday, Rich. I am going to see Dinesh D'Souza's America to "celebrate" the 4th of July.

      Thats called Hope...I have that too. What I'm missing is Faith in what used to be my countrymen. I truly believe they have no concept of America or the Framers intent. Pathetic.

      There is still a chance. I would put the likelihood at about 5%.

  We have fallen pretty much back to the colonial conditions. About 250 years or so.

It's amazing how inspiring these 200-plus-year-old words are than any of the garbage coming out of the mouths of contemporary politicians. Inspiring ideas call forth inspiring words.

  Agree 100% - they, like me, believed their ideology and would live and die to defend it. This conviction is lacking in contemporary American society.

  Don't dang blast me :) I refer to the Framers of the Constitution, Adams was certainly one.

    Oh, you're entitled to form your thoughts as you see fit. I just rail futilely at the insidious invasion of language and thought by PC... :(
