As we celebrate another birthday of this great country, I cannot help but think back on some of our history. What a grand history we have had. I know some people are ashamed of our history and so we have revisionists rewriting American history. Neverthele | |||
Click here to read the first 75 lines of the story venomous circle that we call the capital of the United States. I would recommend a first grader. It would be refreshing to have somebody in Congress or the Senate who had common sense. I guess Will Rogers was right when he said the problem with common sense is it is no longer common. A real American is one who is committed to the concept of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. A real American is one who embraces the red, white and blue. A real American is the one who can clutch his five-dollar bill and say, "in God we trust." If it is good for our money, it is good for our life. If only the American people, the real people of America, would wake up and see what our politicians are doing, perhaps they would do what our early founders did. In celebrating another Fourth of July, my thought is simply, why not just be an American. A real American also embraces what Jesus said, "Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's, and unto God the things which be God's" (Luke 20:25 KJV). Is that the sound of a drumbeat I hear off in the distance? Tweet
