OPINION: Insurrection Day
Yesterday was the Fourth of July, a national holiday marking the founding of our great nation. A day we celebrate our insurrectionist Founding Fathers who gave a collective middle finger to the King of England. As Dennis Miller put it, “They started a war over a tax on a breakfast beverage, and it wasn’t even coffee!” We owe our prosperity and national existence to the 56 men whose iconic act of defiance made them “felons” in the eyes of the king.
We celebrate our independence by waving flags, holding parades, barbecuing meat and lighting off fireworks. Meanwhile our liberties, our freedoms are being eroded by well-meaning oppressors and the very same government established to protect those rights.
