234 years ago, the founding fathers were on the verge of signing a document that changed the world. They put their own necks, litteraly, on the line for a cause, and that cause is freedom. This simple phrase, more powerful than any bomb we have dropped or could ever drop.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed

Whose fault is it that our celebration of said self evident rights lands on a Sunday this year? What the hell were they thinking?

1.Thomas Jeffereson is my all-time favorite person. Straight up.
2. That's not at all what Washington actually looked like. (The Dollar is also waay off)
3. Ben Franklin and John Hancock's quotes immediately after signing:
JH:"Gentlemen, the price on my head has just doubled"
BF:"Indeed we must all 'hang together', or most assuredly we'll all hang separately"
4. Gotta love Nathan Hale- "My only regret is that I have but one life to lose for my country"
Powerful, powerful stuff. We are the first country in the world that allowed men to govern themselves, let's get back to it.

Give me liberty or give me death. Enough said.

I would love for the founding fathers to be able to give us a read on how they think we are doing.

In fact, I would love to take them all to Hooters for wings and beer and argue with Ben that all cats are NOT gray in the night!

Ben would walk out with about 4 Hooters girls around his arms

Once I leave work today, I probably won't have much chance to get on VN, so I wanted to be sure to wish everyone a happy Independence Day weekend. Celebrate liberty because you still can and enjoy the company of your loved ones!!!

I plan to celebrate with friends and family, do some grilling and chowing down, and then some target practice to celebrate my right to bear (and bare) arms. :machgun: :gun:

P.S. - A thread about celebrating Independence Day does belong in the Politics forum, IMHO.

Agreed. Grill some burgers, drink some beer, hate some British and have fun being American. Above all, be safe everyone.

Yeah, I'm not sure what made me switch to that avatar. Weird mood that day I guess.

Hearty thank you to all of the vets who have dutifully defended our constitution that we all cherish so dearly.
