As President Biden hits the road to sell his economic record, the country is getting ready to celebrate freedom in America on the Fourth of July. On that same day in 1776, the Second Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence to establish the creation of America as a new country and determine what unalienable rights people should have.
Straight Arrow News contributor Newt Gingrich believes it’s also important to remember the rights gifted to us from God and the people who make sacrifices daily to uphold our freedom.
And it’s important to look at that, first, to remember who we are, where we came from, what this is all about. This concept of freedom, that our rights come from God, not from lawyers, not from bureaucrats, not from politicians, but from God.
Second, to ask ourselves the question: Are we worthy of those who risked their lives, who pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor? Or in fact are we in a situation where we have to really ask ourselves, are we falling short? Are we failing to act like a free people? Are we failing to uphold America? I think that’s how we should think about the Fourth of July.
