@Pontifex America has a history of welcoming immigrants and still does! We have a legal process for a person to enter the country and when that process is circumvented, chaos ensues. Without a process to restrict unauthorized overrunning of our border, the national structure collapses.
Have you ever heard the Declaration of Independence read out loud?
You should. It’s the greatest break-up letter ever written.
At just 33 years old, Thomas Jefferson, with cold moral clarity, told the British government to pound sand:
“Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends [life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness], it is the Right of the People to alter or to ABOLISH it.”
The power of that line isn’t just what it says. It’s how it’s said.
Jefferson wasn’t writing from a place of outrage. He was transmitting conviction—moral clarity delivered from a steady frame of mind.
It’s said Jefferson revised the Declaration of Independence with the help of Franklin and Adams dozens of times before it was finalized.
And that deliberate, cutting language, paired with emotional steadiness, is precisely why the words still land 250 years later.
Today, we’re blessed to be the inheritors of the great nation those steady hands wrote into existence.
Happy Birthday, America. 🇺🇸
@VigilantFox Must have invested very well when he was defending capitalism in the rice paddies of Viet Nam! 😂. That net worth is precisely why we need term limits. Think this whack job governs to benefit US citizens? Nope… does so to build his bank account!
