Cognition for Today

[alienlovechild 75]

In the USA, the traditional parades, speeches and fireworks each July 4th commemorate the signing of the Declaration of Independence on this glorious day. Drafted by a committee headed by Thomas Jefferson, the Declaration has proven to be one of the most memorable freedom documents of all time, proclaiming as it does, every human being's right to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."

As Thomas Jefferson lay dying at his hilltop estate, Monticello, in late June 1826, he wrote a letter telling the citizens of the city of Washington, DC that he was too ill to join them for the 50th anniversary celebrations of the Declaration of Independence. Seeking to inspire the gathering, he told them of his belief that one day the experiment he and the Founders started would spread worldwide. "To some parts sooner, to others later, but finally to all," he wrote, the American form of republican self-government would become every nation's birthright.

Democracy's worldwide triumph was assured, he said, because "the unbounded exercise of reason and freedom of opinion would soon convince all men that they were born not to be ruled - but to rule themselves in freedom."

It was the last letter Jefferson ever wrote. He died 10 days later on July 4, 1826, on the same day within hours of his old friend, fellow Founder, and fellow former President, John Adams of Massachusetts.

President Bush's professed goal is to have America actively spread democracy worldwide, even to the point of making war in Iraq and perhaps in other places such as Iran.

But let me ask how well-quipped America sell democracy abroad, when their own internal system is in question?

My own view is that America, as a government, as a nation, and as a people, first needs to reaffirm their own liberty and freedom and need to go back and truly apply the fundamentals of limited government, maximum individual freedom, equal protection of the laws and due process - all of which have been called into question by many of the Bush administration policies in its "war on terrorism".

In the face of so much hatred, disappointment and vile rhetoric, there are many reasons to love America and to be assured of her greatness. The free market; the free elections; the limitless opportunity for success and prosperity; the myriad cultures and faiths; the determination to be free in the face of all adversity: all of these speak to the greatness of America.

As long as men are free to argue the point it must be. Take your time today and consider and reflect, then Celebrate! Celebrate! Celebrate! Whether you like it or not, YOU still live in the greatest country in the world. God bless America!

Soon, I will be coming to America to be with my man whom I would like to spend the rest of my life.

That is by Bob Bauman, editor. That's why I thought the wordings are very familiar.

I almost believed the OP for saying all those, except the last sentence. Next time, providing the link will be good.

This was a message sent to my email. I just shared this here in the VJ. I forgot to indicate the source. I did not claim it as my own.
