I read that one of the Roman emperors was always followed in public by a servant who kept repeating these words as the crowds cheered. This emperor, like all who came before him, has a pull date. I believe he knows it and wants to destroy as many as he can out of vengeance for that reality. I guarantee, my celebration of 250 years of America will have nothing to do with this loser. I've been reading biographies of real American heroes (George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Frederick Douglass to name three) to celebrate the incomparable, unprecedented experiment they brought into the world.
