Founding Message rings true 250 years later
On July 4, 1776, delegates of a nascent nation boldly declared that freedom could not be constrained by authoritarian rule, and that liberty was worth fighting for. 250 years later, that founding message of America still rings true.For the past quarter millennium, the United States of America has stood as a beacon of order and a bulwark against evil. We were able to do so because of the principles enshrined in our founding documents. As the Declaration of Independence states:
“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.”This simple yet powerful statement is the core of what it means to be an American. It is also the antithesis of the brutal ideology of communism.
Today, July 4th, we look forward to celebrating America’s 250th birthday as we cherish the freedoms that make our way of life possible, in stark contrast with the oppression of communism.
