Celebrating Freedom EVERY day

One of the main themes of our Fourth of July celebrations (if not THE main theme) is freedom--freedom from oppressive British rule without any representation, freedom from foreign invaders and terrorists, and a general celebration of a free society. However, for too many, the celebration of freedom is a one-day event. The next day ideologues, authoritarians and the self-righteous (of all political persuasions) are busy trying to take away constitutional freedoms. Many of the Left want to repeal or gut the Second Amendment, slash freedom of religion and withdraw First Amendment protection from left-wing politically incorrect speech (“hate speech,” campus speech codes, etc.). On the Right, privacy, reproductive, voting, and Fourth Amendment rights are attacked by many. Let’s ALL take our support for constitutional rights and freedom and broaden it. Let’s get serious about ALL our rights. Let’s not forget that the red-necks, gun-nuts, commie-pinkos, religious right, gun rights supporters, socialists, etc. and EVERYBODY deserves their constitutional rights and equal rights overall. Let’s end the hypocrisy!
