Honoring Independence Day

There is No First Amendment Without a Second Amendment
"In March, the Huffington Post had an article titled “Obama Looking for Ways Around Congress on Gun Policy” by Sam Stein. “Faced with a Congress hostile to even slight restrictions of Second Amendment rights, the Obama administration is exploring potential changes to gun laws that can be secured strictly through executive action, administration officials, say.”"
 Alan Caruba, Warning Signs

The History and Origin of Independence Day  "John Adams, a lawyer, the first Vice President and the Second President of the United States, was one of the members of the Second Continental Congress who signed the Declaration of Independence. He wrote to his wife, "I believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival... it ought to be celebrated by pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations from one end of this continent to the other...""

Historical Events on 4th July  Among the many events listed are these:
1863 - General Lee's army withdraws from Gettysburg
1863 - Vicksburg, Mississippi surrenders to Union forces
1884 - Statue of Liberty presented to US in Paris
1944 - 1,100 US guns fire 4th of July salute at German lines in Normandy

A real honest to goodness heartfelt commitment to America. That would be the best possible way to celebrate July 4th

PJMedia Sues Department of Defense for Climate Conference Info

Pajamas Media What happened to the transparency that candidate Obama promised?
"The volume of fuel used in the flights and how much the baggage weighed, as well as who was on all the flights, is information kept by the Air Force as a matter of course. This request should have taken about 20 minutes with a file cabinet to fill. Additionally, while this information would be classified (also as a matter of course), none of it was national security information. We all know the president went to Copenhagen and came back empty-handed."

Report: US to offer Israel incentives to negotiate

Ma'an News Agency  "US special envoy for the Middle East David Hale is reported to have said that the principles put forward in President Obama's May 19 speech were "the only way to move forward" in the peace process, a secret cable obtained by Maariv said."....
Bosch Fawstin
 "In the meeting, Hale is reported to have stated that Israel must agree to President Obama's principles, but will receive something of value in return."
Considered the main source of independent news from Palestine, MNA has become the first choice for online information for many Palestinians, and is also attracting a growing international readership and interest from prominent international news organizations and agencies.

Via Joshuapundit  "At least that's what the 'Palestinian' Ma'an news agency is reporting. So in exchange for unnamed 'incentives', the Israelis are supposed to retreat to indefensible borders and sit down with Hamas!??! If I were the Israelis, I wouldn't trust a single word coming out of Obama's mouth, let alone anything I heard from Mahmoud Abbas."

But then all of Islam would love us and we would never again fear a terrorist attack.
