Thought For Today.

 

In 1776, as it seemed our young nation’s beacon of Liberty was at risk of being extinguished, Founder Thomas Paine wrote, “These are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.”

 

This past week, our Supreme Court issued multiple diktats that, in effect, overrule the Rule of Law in regard to the so-called Affordable Care Act and so-called “gay marriage.” These are both unfortunate examples of why Thomas Jefferson referred to the High Court as “the despotic branch.”

 

So yes, these are the times that try men’s souls. However, the hard reality is that for all times, Liberty has been threatened by its antithesis, tyranny — and this will always be true.

 

Honor the holiday by committing yourself to the defense of freedom and independence.
