A Toast to the Day! And sober reflections on the Patriots who conceived the idea and dedicated their "lives, fortunes, and sacred honor" to the cause; never forgetting the sacrifices of those who took up arms and paid in blood to make a piece of parchment actually mean something.
__________________
A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.
~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C)

Happy fourth!
I am so proud to be free to decide what freedom means to me. I will die for that freedom if need be, and I celebrate it today.
