~ Happy Birthday America! ~

[troydooly]

WHY I LOVE THIS COUNTRY:

I love this Great Country, the Greatest Country in the whole world, based on my own experience.

Why do I believe that America, these United States of America, remains the Greatest Country ever to exist in my lifetime?

It’s because of YOU! We the People create a more perfect union. Some of y'all might not know where that phrase comes from, so let me share the full quote:

“We the People of the United States, to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, ensure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”

That’s why I believe America is the greatest!

“We the People, You & Me!” Power is with us, not a king, a parliament, or some distant elite. It was revolutionary in 1787, a huge shift from the Articles of Confederation’s loose Confederation of states to a unified national framework grounded in popular consent.

“To form a MORE perfect Union”: It doesn’t mean perfect or that we’ll ever be fully achieved.

“More perfect” acknowledges the prior state (the weak Articles of Confederation, chaos after the Revolution, economic mess, or threats like Shays’ Rebellion) and builds something better.

“Union” means connecting states into a stronger, ongoing federation while still respecting state powers—that’s federalism. And we’ve done just that!

Some folks love to rant and rave about personal stuff—racism, cutting off or putting in a penis, who or what you can have sex with, why we should or shouldn't drill oil or coal, or which countries we see as friends or foes (I have posted on scarcity or abundance worldviews elsewhere)

But over the last 62 years, I’ve seen this country move forward.

Today, anyone, regardless of any ethnic background, can marry, have kids, walk down the street, go to concerts, enroll in school, ride buses, drive Ubers, and rise to the top in America, outside of sports.

And women… don't get me started. No longer do they hold power behind the scenes; they now openly control 38% of America's wealth. 154 are billionaires, and the trend shows that in the mid-2030s, the largest transfer of wealth will shift to women in history, 124 trillion dollars! Welcome to America!

If you love the same sex (I still don't fully get this one), you can marry in any state, get insurance, adopt kids, and build a family.

We all have the right to worship whoever or whatever we believe, whether it’s Papa God, another god, crystals, Satan, or nothing at all. Some still struggle with worshiping ourselves, from what I see on social media; that’s legal too.

And some of us still want to complain about how bad America is. But remember, America is We the People!

Yeah, I know some conspiracy fans might want to argue, but that’s fine. Believe what you want; I'll believe what I want. We can still hang out over coffee.

Yes, I love this country! I took an oath to protect her, and that oath never ends. I’m sworn to protect We the People because WE are HER!

Disclaimer: I didn't use AI to write this. If you think I'm ignorant, that's your choice - deal with it! 🫣🧐

Stand Close to Strong Men

The world is loud, crowded, restless, and uncertain.

A woman was never meant to face all of it alone just to prove she can.

There's a reason her heart softens near a steady man. There's a reason his presence calms her. There's a reason his leadership feels less like control and more like shelter.

A good man doesn't block her view of the world.

He stands between her and the storm.

And a wise woman doesn't resent that.

She moves closer.

Proclaim Liberty Throughout All the Land

From the National Park Service page about the Liberty Bell:

The Liberty Bell bears a timeless message: "Proclaim Liberty Throughout All the Land Unto All the Inhabitants thereof"

Go beyond the iconic crack to learn how this State House bell was transformed into an extraordinary symbol. Abolitionists, women's suffrage advocates and Civil Rights leaders took inspiration from the inscription on this bell.

...

The State House bell became a herald of liberty in the 19th century. "Proclaim Liberty Throughout All the Land Unto All the Inhabitants thereof," the bell's inscription, provided a rallying cry for abolitionists wishing to end slavery. The Anti-Slavery Record, an abolitionist publication, first referred to the bell as the Liberty Bell in 1835, but that name was not widely adopted until years later. Millions of Americans became familiar with the bell in popular culture through George Lippard's 1847 fictional story "Ring, Grandfather, Ring", when the bell came to symbolize pride in a new nation. Beginning in the late 1800s, the Liberty Bell traveled across the country for display at expositions and fairs, stopping in towns small and large along the way. For a nation recovering from wounds of the Civil War, the bell served to remind Americans of a time when they fought together for independence. Movements from Women's Suffrage to Civil Rights embraced the Liberty Bell for both protest and celebration. Pennsylvania suffragists commissioned a replica of the Liberty Bell. Their "Justice Bell" traveled across Pennsylvania in 1915 to encourage support for women's voting rights legislation. It then sat chained in silence until the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920. Now a worldwide symbol, the bell's message of liberty remains just as relevant and powerful today: "Proclaim Liberty Throughout All the Land Unto All the Inhabitants thereof"
