On America's 250th Birthday

This opinion piece is my opinion alone, and does not necessarily

And now with less than a week to go until our great nation is officially 250 years old, know that it is import that the collective sum of “We the People” celebrate her milestone birthday together...together in unity even if for some it's only to honor the official signing of the “Declaration of Independence” and nothing more. And for many others, let's put our political differences aside for at least this one day, because what has been and still is our trying to forge a “more perfect union” does remain an ongoing process. We must continue to learn from both our past struggles as well as our true and lasting achievements if we are to remain...as per the words of the great Ronald Reagan in his “Farewell Address” to the nation, “a magnet for all who must have freedom.” Read entire article here.

On America's 250th Birthday
By; Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor
This opinion piece is my opinion alone, and does not necessarily
represent the views of blogspot.or google.com
And while many on both sides of the political aisle are not happy with our president right now especially in regards to his handling of the Iranian War...and I freely admit that I am one of those folks...I must also admit that I still honor Donald Trump as my president for he has accomplished much for the betterment of our country, with the closing of our southern border quickly coming to mind. And here also know that I see America’s 250th Birthday as being an opportunity to help pull together what is now our sadly divided nation, that is if we start to focus on our shared commonalities instead of on what always seems to be our ever volatile and differing political discourse and opinions.
And on this very special July 4th, if nothing else, this day should be the very day that we as Americans...minus any and all hyphens...should celebrate together...together as the sum of “We the American People.” Remember, it's not the president nor any member of any political party who should take center stage nor “steal the thunder” away from the very document that defined not only who we are as a nation, but clearly stated that “all men are created equal,” and have the right to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”
Also, remember, as fact, that our nation, even when bruised at times, has survived intact for 250 years because of those stated words...and done so no matter who was the president at any given time or from which party said president belonged to.
“I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”
Thirty one words...one's pledge of loyalty to our beloved America...a statement meant to unite we Americans together as one people no matter ones race, creed, color, sex, or religion, yet it's a pledge that at times, for some, does divide us even more so when it crosses over into ethnic, and what are religiously deemed moral lines. And that divide is mostly do to the politics of any given day, as it seems instead to have divided our nation even further along and within given party lines.
But here please know that our beloved America will survive long after this our nation's 250th birthday, simply because America must survive...there are no other tangible options available. Why so...because if what was our “Founders and Framers” grand experiment...the experiment that was and thankfully remains the “United States of America”...if it were to fail it would, in my opinion, herald in and leave open the possible demise of the sum of Western civilization itself on both an economic and cultural level, thus in turn leaving a vacuum of power the world has never seen before.
Happy 250th Birthday my beloved America. May you have many more yet uncounted years to show the world that America, that American principles, that American values and ideals, are indeed something to strive for both now and into the future. Case closed.

On The Birth Of Our Nation
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots / Right Side Patriots Radio
"When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one
people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with
another and to assume among the powers of the earth..." and so it began two hundred and forty-four years ago today as the greatest nation the world has ever known was born.
Born out of war yet dedicated to peace, the United States of America changed the world forever with the simple words..."We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
The Declaration of Independence...actually called “A Declaration by the Representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress assembled”...announced for all the world to hear that the ragtag American colonies had seceding from the yoke of British rule to become "Free and Independent States, to have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do."
Unanimously
approved on July 2nd, 1776, and signed on July 4th by all 56
delegates to the Continental Congress, the colonies now regarded
themselves as thirteen newly independent sovereign states...independent states yet united together...and thus a new
nation was founded...a Judeo-Christian nation...forever to be known as
the United States of America.
Preceded in governance by the Continental Congress...a convention of delegates from each of the thirteen colonies...the Congress met from 1774 to 1789 in three increments, with the first being a call for a convention concerning issues raised about the blockade and the "Intolerable Acts" penalizing Massachusetts. By 1774, Benjamin Franklin was able to convince the colonies to form a representative body, which at first was divided on independence and a break from the Crown. However, in time the new Congress gave their unanimous vote for independence, established a Continental Army, giving command to George Washington.
And while the Continental Congress was waging
war with Britain, making a military treaty with France, and funding the
war effort with loans and paper money, Richard Henry Lee of Virginia first proposed the
idea of succession at the Second Continental Congress. Reading an important resolution that in no uncertain words stated, “Resolved: That
these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and
independent States, that they are absolved from all allegiance to the
British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the
State of Great Britain is, and ought to be, totally dissolved.”...the march towards independence began.
Soon after, in August 1775, King George III declared American colonists were “engaged in open and avowed rebellion” as the colonies began pulling back from British rule by taking control of their ports and establishing formal guidelines for creating local governments. A 'Committee of Five'...Thomas Jefferson (who actually drafted the declaration), Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, Roger Sherman and Robert Livingston...was then appointed by the Continental Congress to write the declaration. Formed on June 5th, 1776, the Committee returned to Congress with the completed declaration on July 4th. The committee was disbanded when the declaration was made public on July 5th.
This one document alone changed the course of modern history for its
ramifications were heard by all "free men of conscious"...men who now truly understood
that when their leaders...when their government...becomes both "tyrannical
and abusive"...when their leaders dare violate time and again the rights of
the people then the people have the right...actually they have the duty...to revolt and
put safeguards into place to protect those rights.
And what was this new nation but an experiment in self-government...an experiment in liberty and in the sovereignty of the people...of people who believed that human equality and liberty should be the rule of law not only for those forever to be known as Americans, but for people everywhere "and that they (must) derive their just powers from the consent of the governed,” meaning 'We the People' through the power of the ballot box.
And with the Constitution defining those beliefs, never forget that our
independence and our beliefs were secured for all time by those brave
men and women whose blood was
spilled all those many years ago.
So as we celebrate the day our great nation was born from the pains of protest against a "tyrannical and abusive" king...a nation unseen in the annals of man...a nation exceptional in concept for its being built upon freedom, justice, and equality for all... know that now the time has come where we must stop those perpetrating the conflicts of conscious by those who are trying to divide our great nation...conflicts courtesy of those enemies within coupled with apathy from the masses. And if our beloved America falls...if our Constitution falls...tyranny and turmoil will become the order of the day not just for our homeland but for the world as well.
But thankfully 'ifs' tend to be supposition alone for history has shown
that America will survive because
America must survive...and no other option must ever be allowed to
exist. And while some try to say that what we thought of as our
brightest hours were really not as bright as we thought or that our
darkest moments were not as dark as we remember them...the pages of
history alone will show the truth, but only with the passage of time.
And while our nation continues to move forward by hopefully learning
from the lessons of the past, the fact remains that certain folks in
every generation...especially the youngest and the most
idealistic...continue to think of themselves as being under attack from
those whose political ideologies are different than their own.
And while of late it seems that we as a nation are always facing or coping with some sort of crisis or another...whether those crises be manufactured from inside our own ranks or from those looking in from the outside...surviving remains the only option afforded to even those of us patriots who sometimes forget the freedoms our country allows us.
And
so America survives and will thankfully continue on simply because 'We
the People' demand it be so...and that demand at times might even mean
that more
blood must be spilled in the name of freedom...blood spilled like it
was when
America was born...blood spilled when brave patriots fought back against
those trying to bring them to their knees.
So my fellow patriots enjoy this day...fly our flag proudly and enjoy America's birthday as freedom rings out from "sea to shining sea"...but never forget our nation's birthing pains for those freedoms we all sometimes take for granted came at a very high price. But know that no matter the obstacles placed in our way America remains a true bastion of freedom...the shining light that draws those whose hope springs eternal and where dreams become the realities of those longing to be free.
Happy 245th Birthday America...May God Bless and protect you...especially during these most trying of times...today, tomorrow, and always.

The Declaration of Independence...actually called “A Declaration by the Representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress assembled”... announced for all the world to hear that the ragtag American colonies had seceding from the yoke of British rule to become "Free and Independent States, to have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do."
Unanimously
approved on July 2nd, 1776, and signed on July 4th by all 56
delegates to the Continental Congress, the colonies now regarded
themselves as thirteen newly independent sovereign states...independent states yet united together...and thus a new
nation was founded...a Judeo-Christian nation...forever to be known as
the United States of America.
Preceded in governance by the Continental Congress...a convention of delegates from each of the thirteen colonies...the Congress met from 1774 to 1789 in three increments, with the first being a call for a convention concerning issues raised about the blockade and the "Intolerable Acts" penalizing Massachusetts. By 1774, Benjamin Franklin was able to convince the colonies to form a representative body, which at first was divided on independence and a break from the Crown. However, in time the new Congress gave their unanimous vote for independence, established a Continental Army, giving command to George Washington.
And while the Continental Congress was waging
war with Britain, making a military treaty with France, and funding the
war effort with loans and paper money, Richard Henry Lee of Virginia first proposed the
idea of succession at the Second Continental Congress. Reading an important resolution that in no uncertain words stated, “Resolved: That
these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and
independent States, that they are absolved from all allegiance to the
British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the
State of Great Britain is, and ought to be, totally dissolved.”...the march towards independence began.
Soon after, in August 1775, King George III declared American colonists were “engaged in open and avowed rebellion” as the colonies began pulling back from British rule by taking control of their ports and establishing formal guidelines for creating local governments. A 'Committee of Five'...Thomas Jefferson (who actually drafted the declaration), Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, Roger Sherman and Robert Livingston...was then appointed by the Continental Congress to write the declaration. Formed on June 5th, 1776, the Committee returned to Congress with the completed declaration on July 4th. The committee was disbanded when the declaration was made public on July 5th.
This one document alone changed the course of modern history for its
ramifications were heard by all "free men of conscious"...men who now truly understood
that when their leaders...when their government...becomes both "tyrannical
and abusive"...when their leaders dare violate time and again the rights of
the people then the people have the right...actually they have the duty...to revolt and
put safeguards into place to protect those rights.
And what was this new nation but an experiment in self-government...an experiment in liberty and in the sovereignty of the people...of people who believed that human equality and liberty should be the rule of law not only for those forever to be known as Americans, but for people everywhere "and that they (must) derive their just powers from the consent of the governed,” meaning 'We the People' through the power of the ballot box.
And with the Constitution defining those beliefs, never forget that our
independence and our beliefs were secured for all time by those brave
men and women whose blood was
spilled all those many years ago.
So as we celebrate the day our great nation was born from the pains of protest against a "tyrannical and abusive" king...a nation unseen in the annals of man...a nation exceptional in concept for its being built upon freedom, justice, and equality for all... know that now the time has come where we must stop those perpetrating the conflicts of conscious by those who are trying to divide our great nation...conflicts courtesy of those enemies within coupled with apathy from the masses. And if our beloved America falls...if our Constitution falls...tyranny and turmoil will become the order of the day not just for our homeland but for the world as well.
But thankfully 'ifs' tend to be supposition alone for history has shown that America will survive because
America must survive...and no other option must ever be allowed to exist. And while some try to say that what we thought of as our brightest hours were really not as bright as we thought or that our darkest moments were not as dark as we remember them...the pages of history alone will show the truth, but only with the passage of time. And while our nation continues to move forward by hopefully learning from the lessons of the past, the fact remains that certain folks in every generation...especially the youngest and the most idealistic...continue to think of themselves as being under attack from those whose political ideologies are different than their own.
And while of late it seems that we as a nation are always facing or coping with some sort of crisis or another...whether those crises be manufactured from inside our own ranks or from those looking in from the outside...surviving remains the only option afforded to even those of us patriots who sometimes forget the freedoms our country allows us.
And so America survives and will thankfully continue on simply because 'We the People' demand it be so...and that demand at times might even mean that more
blood must be spilled in the name of freedom...blood spilled like it was when
America was born...blood spilled when brave patriots fought back against those trying to bring them to their knees.
So my fellow patriots enjoy this day...fly our flag proudly and enjoy America's birthday as freedom rings out from "sea to shining sea"...but never forget our nation's birthing pains for those freedoms we all sometimes take for granted came at a very high price. But know that no matter the obstacles placed in our way America remains a true bastion of freedom...the shining light that draws those whose hope springs eternal and where dreams become the realities of those longing to be free.
Happy 242nd Birthday America...May God Bless and protect you today, tomorrow, and always.

Happy 240th Birthday America
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots on americanpbn.com
As we head into the July 4th weekend...and while we enjoy the beach,
bar'b'ques, and fireworks galore...
let's NOT forget all our Forefathers
fought for to make sure that
“these United Colonies are, and of right
ought to be, free and independent states.”
And while Barack HUSSEIN
Obama has forgotten this...if he ever knew this that is...
we current day
patriots have not forgotten it and will continue to fight on
to assure that these United States remain the greatest and freest nation the world
has ever known.
And may God Bless America always, and may 'He the Most
Holy' keep our troops safe
as they continue their fight overseas to keep
us safe and free at home.
