There have been stolen votes here in Vanderburgh County. Last night, the GOP nullified the votes of hundreds of people by removing 3 people from their elected positions. Do the rules of the political party supersede state law? https://t.co/mTxMYOpZ0B

About 30 people are outside The Foundry protesting a closed hearing at which Republican Chairman Mike Duckworth seeks to have three intraparty critics removed from elected positions. Natalie Rascher, the GOP’s 2023 nominee for mayor, walked into the building about 15 minutes ago.

Crowd outside The Foundry forms a prayer circle. Rascher declined to comment on her testimony. No word yet on hearing outcomes.

[Tom Langhorne @TomLanghorne]

Daugherty exits his hearing saying Rascher testified he was the reason she lost the mayoral race. The 8th District GOP committee told Daugherty he’d get an answer in 24-48 hours. He said his attorney tried to get a continuance, but his request was not acknowledged.

Years ago at a radio station there were petty thefts from employee lockers. The company hired a private investigator and everyone had to take polygraph test. A part time employee confessed and resigned just before his turn being interrogated.
Secret Service take note.

British Prime Minister Margret Thatcher famously once said, “Europe was created by history. America was created by philosophy.” Nearly all European nations trace their beginning to a common ethnic kinship or a cultural characteristic, but America was created by exiles united in voluntary assent to shared political beliefs. That’s why British writer G. K. Chesterton visited the United States for the first time and remarked that America was “a nation with the soul of a church,” not because of its religiosity, but because of a common creed enshrined in “sacred texts” of the Declaration of Independence and Constitution.

In 1776, a near-miraculous stew of ideas and leaders came together to form a Declaration of Independence, and 11 years later an equally miraculous gathering formed the Constitution, both centered on a belief in universal human dignity.

Government does not grant you the right to free speech, assembly, religion, press, protest, or redress of grievances. We believe that these rights are inalienable and government’s role is simply to protect those rights and ensure human dignity. Government is just a tool, not a source. That’s really a remarkably profound idea we take for granted and fail to celebrate enough.

Of course, the sad irony is that the very Founders who argued these ideas so frequently fell short of those same principles. Some owned slaves, and nearly all opposed equal rights for women. So it naturally caused upheaval when nineteenth century Americans increasingly adopted a view held that “All men are created equal,” including black Americans, and a few generations later it came to encompass women as well.

Abraham Lincoln believed that the Declaration of Independence did not necessarily proclaim people equal in all respects. Instead, it meant that all people were created with certain equal, inalienable rights—they are ours by right of simply being human—among which are “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” A free society should always strive to achieve these equal rights, even if, as in the case of the Founders, it fell short of that goal in the past. The Declaration’s concept of equality is an aspiration, Lincoln said, “constantly looked to, constantly labored for, and even, though never perfectly attained, constantly approximated, and thereby constantly spreading and deepening its influence and augmenting the happiness and value of life to all people, of all colors, everywhere.”

That is the genius of Lincoln’s argument: that the Constitution is concrete (at least until amended), but the Declaration of Independence is aspirational, and the American project is a move toward the aspiration.

Despite its roots in American independence, the 4th of July is incomplete without understanding and celebrating Lincoln too. His unique view of the Declaration as an aspirational goal helped properly frame American independence for what it was and what it was bound to be.

@Lowes customer service: "The wait time for the next representative is one hour."

[Johnny Kincaid @johnny_kincaid]

You might wonder what this stove is doing in our living room. It’s been sitting there since Thursday @Lowes has completely forgotten about customer service. Four different managers have given lip service to fixing the problem but nothing has been resolved.

@GOP calls me several times a week to beg for money and I keep telling them to stop calling. Now, they are spoofing numbers from my area code. Who else spoofs numbers? Spammers, that's who.

Quit bickering about politics and enjoy the best 30 seconds of the day.
