Happy 4th Of July 2017

Happy 4th of July - No Show

We all know why we celebrate the 4th of July. However there is actually a lot more than just the signing of the “Declaration of Independence”. In this post you will see little 4th of July “surprise” from Leroy McKnight. For your enlightenment you will also find “The Twelve Basic American Principles” by Hamilton Abert Long. We hope you enjoy this very comprehensive article – with full attribution links to expanded text about each of the twelve principles. By the way, much of this is what distinguishes us as a “Republic” rather than a “Democracy” – as often errantly thought. Also, another good read that supports this Hamilton Long text is – “The Federalist Papers”.
