The permanent political class wants Americans to treat Independence Day as a long weekend with approved slogans. Stone points back to something deeper: a Republic born from prayer, courage, sacrifice, and obedience to a higher law than government power. The Founders were imperfect men, but they understood what today’s administrative state denies: rights do not come from bureaucrats, judges, agencies, or kings. They come from Almighty God. That is why America is dangerous to every ruling-class machine. July 3 matters because before liberty was declared, it was contemplated. Before the fireworks, there was faith. Before the Republic, there was resolve.

A magnificent piece of writing, history, and inspiration! Thank you!
Thank you, Roger. You brought tears to my eyes. Blessings to you and your lovely wife. I sent this out to other Patriots.
God Bless America and our great President.
