   People don’t “Abide” by a “Declaration” rather they Abide by a Constitution.

     It would seem they are not capable of doing that either. But I digress. The issue was the declaration not the Constitution. And when NPR read it yesterday without identifying what it was they were reading, something I believed all along (especially in more recent times) was in fact true.

   Really powerful stuff. Too bad our leaders don’t have that kind of balls to stand up and fight for the people. They only fight for themselves and amongst themselves. Pitty.

     This is a one time deal for me as I don’t post political or religious material here. And I usually don’t allow responses either. I have been watching “Turn” a great show about the revolutionary war. The Declaration of Independence was something that moved me when I read in in school. It is the basis of our country on which it was founded and suggests that even today we are not on the same path as so desired by the fathers.
     Being that it was the Fourth I posted this. The link has the entire Declaration. It’s worth the read, and then the reflection.
     The fathers resisted and so are some of us. Not enough so far but then again I have faith in good people with a moral center. Time will tell.

   Well, there are some in the #Resist who have neither the moral authority nor moral clarity.

     True on both sides.
