For some reason, I forgot to include the link to my newspaper column when I posted it here on Sunday. Oh, dummy me! Here it is: link Sorry about that!
Anyway...
I keep seeing people trying to make the holiday into a day to celebrate (worship) the government. government's armed squads, or even the Constitution. That's just wrong!
As someone else pointed out, the Constitution didn't come along until 1789, and then it basically spat upon the Declaration of Independence.
The statists ruined a perfectly good holiday, just like they ruin everything else they touch. They are more to blame than government itself!

Thank you!
I often run into people online that think the Declaration of Independence is actually part of the Constitution and will argue about it when I try to correct them. (Congratulations, "public education"!)
ReplyDeleteYeah, I've encountered that myself. Even with links to the documents they'll stand their ground.
