If you want to understand American optimism…

We celebrate the date that we declared independence, not the date that we achieved it.

[Robbie Hendricks @robbiehendricks]

Let me tell you something, comrade.

No American thinks we are exceptional because we are richer, stronger and more powerful than everyone else.

We are exceptional because we are American. It is our value system that built wealth, strength, and power.

It was the American values etched into the souls of generations of people in this country that built what we have today.

Those values are something you clearly cannot understand, or you choose not to, because they would require you building something of your own.

Our nation was founded by people who simply wanted a chance to build something for themselves.

It wasn’t about being richer than others. It wasn’t about being more powerful than others. It wasn’t about being stronger than others.

It’s certainly wasn’t built on what you propose, this hideous belief that you or anyone is somehow entitled to what other people built.

That is the antithesis of America. Your ideas would have been laughed out of America 250 years ago. You ran an entire mayoral campaign on seizing assets from others.

The sheer concept of expecting the government to force hard-working people to feed, house, and fund other able-bodied men and women would have been roundly ridiculed.

In fact, that is why people migrated to America. It was about freedom.

They fled oppressive government, they fled the type of tyranny you are promoting. Where their work was not theirs, where the fruits of their labor were taken from them.

They fled here not expecting a handout, but simply hoping for a chance to build something on their own. A chance to bet on themselves.

That dream is still vibrantly alive today for the those that choose to work hard and pursue it.

You, of course, sell that it is not possible. That it is a zero sum game. That the success of one group must therefore be at the expense of another group, which is a disgusting lie disguised as “promoting fairness”.

That is the opposite of our American value system.

In America, we believe in abundance. We believe in hard work. We believe in merit. We believe in earning things. We believe if you learn, work hard, and do your best, doors will open. And they do. Every time.

Those beliefs are what made America exceptional, and that is why America continues to be the greatest country in the history of mankind.

All despite men like you.

[Ron DeSantis @RonDeSantis]

Compare Calvin Coolidge on America’s 150th anniversary:

“It is often asserted that the world has made a great deal of progress since 1776, that we have had new thoughts and new experiences which have given us a great advance over the people of that day, and that we may therefore very well discard their conclusions for something more modern. But that reasoning can not be applied to this great charter. If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions. If anyone wishes to deny their truth or their soundness, the only direction in which he can proceed historically is not forward, but backward toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of the individual, no rule of the people. Those who wish to proceed in that direction can not lay claim to progress. They are reactionary. Their ideas are not more modern, but more ancient, than those of the Revolutionary fathers."

The Nation’s capitol will feel the power of NASA Aeronautics today! ✈️

The agency’s Armstrong Flight Research Center, joined by aircraft from @NASAJohnson, will ignite the skies with a @Freedom250 flyover bursting with energy, pride, and aerospace brilliance.

Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸

[Peter Schweizer @peterschweizer]

There have been 4 major revolutions in the past 250 years: American, French, Russian, and Chinese. Only one led to individual rights and prosperity. The others led to mass death and tyranny. The US revolution was unique because it said two things: 1. Our rights come from God not from the govt. 2. Humans are power -hungry so we need to limit govt power. So the next time someone attacks the nation of one revolution that succeeded and recycles the the idea of those that miserably failed, you can ask them: are you ignorant, or malicious?

As an honorary member of the PAC, I feel the need to say this:

If Jeanty doesn’t win the Heisman after rushing for 2000 yards and 30 TDs & leading his team to the CFP, the award has lost all meaning and purpose

Especially when he loses it to a media hyped showman who’s #1 stat is “snaps played”

It’s really bad that it’s even a conversation
