The 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence knew what they were getting into. As we celebrated the Fourth of July 245 years later with flags and fireworks, itâs easy to forget that these patriots risked death to give a new nation life.
If youâve never read the Declaration of Independence in its entirety, this is a good time to do that. More than two centuries later, itâs still a good read. These rebels, who would be accused of treason by Great Britain, wrote the document in a reasoned manner, attempting to convey to the world that their cause was a just one.

Political junkies watch and read a lot of news commentary on a daily basis that makes their eyes roll. But every once in a while there’s something newsworthy that pops up and absolutely makes your blood boil when you see it. And it also makes you question just how we got to the point where making comments that are decidedly unAmerican and apologistic in nature for evil foreign regimes is considered “enlightened” and “thought-provoking” in a free society.
A news segment that will make your blood boil is exactly how I would describe a recent episode of BBC News Tonight. Columbia economics professor Jeffrey Sachs, who is also the director of their Center for Sustainable Development, absolutely lost it during a discussion of China’s gross human rights abuses as the issue related to how far the United States should be willing to go to work with the country on various issues.
