The disgraceful dissing of our country by Arizona Democrats, who unabashedly threw a “F*ck The Fourth” Party on Independence Day, screams loudly about the state of our nation.
Dinesh D’Souza reports that the event, promoted by the Pima County Democrat Party via the Tucson Women’s March, told supporters to bring their water, lawn chairs, posters and anger. While D’Souza acknowledges the event was held, in part, because of the Roe v. Wade decision, he says it’s also a slap at the founding principles of our nation. Here’s D’Souza’s take.
During this time of year, we celebrate America’s independence and the documents that made America different, like the Constitution. But is our Constitution good enough today? The people who wrote it made it possible to amend it.
John Stossel asked people, some with legal and political expertise, whether there were things in the Constitution they would change? Surprisingly, some of the best responses came from strangers on the street.
It wasn’t an accident that the First Amendment to the Constitution is about religious liberty. This meant you could belong to whatever religious denomination you wished. You could believe in everything or nothing. But those freedoms are being slowly stripped away.
It seems like disputes between people of faith and government agencies are taking center stage every week, alleging that believers are violating the rights of non-believers. Or simply violating government edicts. The bare truth is, that when government comes for your freedom, they’re coming for all of your freedoms.
The Founders understood and this is why they were so insistent that religious liberty be in the Constitution. To them, freedom of liberty was tantamount to freedom of thought. Says Kelly Shackleford, president of First Liberty, “If you aren’t free to think as you wish, you can’t claim to be free. They were right. There is no example in history of a regime suppressing religious freedom and not suppressing other freedoms.” Here’s more with Shackleford on PragerU.

With the recent COVID-19 lockdown dust-up over relaxing restrictions when it comes to places of worship, Americans are reminded of the doctrine of separation of church and state. Most Americans believe it is a vital part of the Constitution. But there is no such phrase in the Constitution and there never was.
Why? Because our founding fathers never intended church and state to be completely separate. They saw religions, specifically based on the Bible, as indispensable to the moral foundation of the nation they were creating. In the following episode of PragerU, John Eastman, senior fellow at the Claremont Institute, guides us through the genesis of the doctrine and its value to society.

The always entertaining wit of Fox News’ show host Greg Gutfeld was on full display over the weekend, as he shredded the Democrats’ obsession with impeachment. “The impeachment hearing was one big whoopee cushion and we both sat on it,” Gutfeld said of last week’s House Judiciary Committee’s circus, starring three heavily biased and supposed constitutional law professors. The pathetic profs took it upon themselves to invoke the Founding Fathers of our Constitution to carelessly attack President Trump, a tactic that especially drew the ire of Gutfeld. “If the framers were alive today, they would be puking all over these bozos,” he said. Check out Gutfeld’s rant from “The Greg Gutfeld Show,” which also includes comedian Tom Shillue’s hilarious impression of Adam Schiff.

He informed the Founding Fathers and renounced the excesses of Democracy, and died for it. He mastered the art of oratory. He preserved the knowledge of ancient Greece. His life and works extolled the virtues of the republic, and decried the evils of the voting public.
…and for that, he is persona non grata in History classes.
Muted by historians, but made deafeningly relevant by the protractions of time.
In his own words: “Time destroys the figments of the imagination, while confirming the judgments of nature.”
