America is not exceptional because we are richer, @NYCMayor. America is exceptional because it is the only country in the history of the world founded on soul liberty.
Soul liberty is the conviction that your conscience before God belongs to God alone.
Not to a king. Not to a pope. Not to a state. Not to a political party. Not to an institution. Not to any movement, however righteous it believes itself to be, that has decided it knows better than you what God requires of your soul.
To God alone.
That your rights are endowed by your Creator. Not government. And they can never be taken away.
This is not a secular idea. It is not a liberal idea. It is not just an enlightenment idea.
“Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s.” — Matthew 22:21.
Fifteen centuries later, Martin Luther stood before an empire and said: “My conscience is captive to the Word of God. I cannot and will not recant anything, since it is neither safe nor right to go against conscience. Here I stand. I cannot do otherwise. God help me.”
That conviction crossed an ocean.
Roger Williams was banished into the winter wilderness of Massachusetts for insisting that “forced worship stinks in God’s nostrils” then founded Rhode Island, the first government on earth with no established church. A haven for the Jew, the Quaker, the dissenter, the doubter.
Virginia Baptists were whipped and jailed for preaching without the state’s permission. They did not ask for tolerance. They demanded liberty.
John Leland, a Baptist preacher, cornered James Madison on a Virginia road in 1788 and would not release his votes until Madison promised what became the First Amendment.
America was not founded on tax and tea alone. It was founded on the conviction that the soul is sovereign territory no government may enter.
Soul liberty is what makes us exceptional. A source of light to the world.
Hello Mr. Clinton,
I'm not going to extend to you the courtesy that your paragraph about lawfare extends to Trump supporters. Because I've studied enough of you, to know what you are truly about.
You were President during the post-Cold War sugar high. I have it thoroughly documented that you and your administration met with George Soros frequently, and in short term changed your policy positions to fit whatever George Soros proposed.
Which was: continuous military intervention all over the world. Starting with the bombing of Yugoslavia. You were the original neoconservative. Madeline Albright used "open society" phrasing in communicating your foreign policy documents. You are a part of the long string of failures of nation-building in the name of democracy, the Western interventions that resulted in millions of mass migrants overwhelming our borders, artificial famines, and us building the infrastructure that enabled China to take over the Africa continent and extract African resources for themselves.
But. Most of all. Those of us -- and there are a good deal many of us -- who have been ruined by lawfare. @GenFlynn sacrificed everything. @JeffClarkUS has had his life ruined and is still rebuilding. At the end of the day, only one President has been the subject of repeated assassination attempts and eighty-plus indictments - and it's President Trump. Not anyone in your orbit.
Seriously, Bill. What do you think when you see that a Democrat gets indicted by a grand jury, and a judge inevitably overturns that indictment on grounds that nobody has heard of? "Oh wow the judges are so wise and saw right through a jury of peers! And that wisdom coincidentally happens to always fall on party lines!" Give me a break.
Every single one of us on the right-wing side knows that when your side regains power, your side will turn the full might of lawfare on us. You will cheer on mass incarcerations. You openly brag about that. You even toe the line of threatening to jail current military members if they don't refuse orders from Pete Hegseth.
You are the evil one here. You cheer on the burning of our cities. You cheer on lawfare of Republicans. You never apologized for the millions of lives disrupted all over the world. You never say a word about the billions or even trillions of dollars that have been robbed by your friends through corrupt NGOs.
The fact that none of you are in jail, proves that we are the powerless ones here. You're just afraid that someone sees you for you who are, and you secretly know that image is ugly.
As America celebrates 250 years of independence, the Trump Administration is working to restore one of our most fundamental freedoms: the freedom that comes with being healthy.
This Independence Day, Take Back Your Health. Eat Real Food. Get Active.
Join us in building a stronger, healthier nation. Together, let's Make America Healthy Again.
Today, I feel a deep sense of gratitude for the generations of Americans who have sustained our great nation for the past 250 years. America is a place of incredible freedom, spirit and opportunity—all thanks to those who came before us. May we honor their memory by fighting to make the next 250 years even better than the first. May God bless you all, and happy 4th of July 🇺🇸
Freedom is more than a constitutional principle.
Individual Liberty is the foundation that lets one create, build businesses, challenge convention, and pursue ideas without fear.
Self-determination inspires different thinking.
It’s the same free will our founders fought for in 1776 – and the same natural rights America protects today.
Happy 250th birthday, USA!🇺🇸
You have the White House.
You have the House.
You have the Senate.
You have the playbook.
You have the People’s support.
The only thing you don’t have, @LeaderJohnThune, is the WILLINGNESS TO WIN.
We’re DONE playing for second place.
Pass the SAVE America Act!
🚨 UPDATE: Scott Presler just went SAVE AMERICA ACT WAR MODE and every word is true
“All I want is the SAVE America Act. Then, I’ll let up, stop the peaceful pressure campaign, & focus solely on November.”
“What our elected officials must understand is the American people demand some sort of election integrity going into the midterm elections.”
“Whether it’s requiring photo ID or proof of citizenship to vote or banning ballot harvesting, voters want assurance that our Republican majorities are implementing the very legislative policies they were elected to enact.”
🇺🇸🇺🇸 @ScottPresler@BasedMikeLee patriots!
🚨 BOOM! Sen. Mike Lee just went 100% IN FAVOR of President Trump's demands for the Senate GOP to nuke the filibuster, or never win ANOTHER ELECTION
LEE: "Nuke the friggin' filibuster already! BEST birthday present for America." 🇺🇸🇺🇸
This Mamdani-style anti-American chic that gets gushing reviews from self-hating upper class neurotics is just a revived late-sixties/early 70s fad that was boring and stupid then, and still is now
.@VP: "You will hear a couple small but loud voices today speak obsessively not of our national greatness, but of our national imperfections... They will tell you that America is just another country where the weak struggle against the strong, and if they acknowledge that there is anything to be proud of in our history, they’ll say it’s the fact that sometimes the powerless have won a zero-sum battle. They’re wrong..."
"What I’d ask you to do, my fellow Americans, on our 250th birthday, is to reject the two dimensional view of your fellow citizens, and reject the two dimensional view of your country. Reject that America is a place for zero-sum thinking, because it is not. Our history is one of people carving a great civilization out of the wilderness. Reject the view of your nation that sees only its sins, but not its grace and its greatness." 🇺🇸
