Our Colors Were Born on January 4th 1796

Our Founding Fathers of this great and unique country, contrary to what the current president openly has said about it, took great pains...we could call them labor pains...to carefully choose the colors and design of the flag, just as they had the Constitution and Bill of Rights. They chose the colors from the French Republic flag, for whose government they had close ties with. In fact, the French Revolution waged in 1789 utilized bloody techniques that tested the resolve of our founding fathers to remain allies of the French. The two political parties at the time, the Federalists headed by George Washington, and the Democratic-Republicans headed by Thomas Jefferson, were split dramatically on this matter, and it was no small thing. These same men who pulled it together enough to form The Declaration of Independence, the Constitution with the Bill of Rights that still stands today as one of the finest documents still to rule any free country, and the Continental Congress...yet, they were drastically split on foreign policy.  As devastating and infuriating as the current liberal socialist agenda is, I have forgotten that his reign of terror is limited to four years, and that our brilliant form of government cushens us from too much of a bad thing.  History reads like an unbelievably good book of horrible presidents. Yet, we survived to tell about it. It's a most positive badge we wear as a country, that such polar opposite citizens can take turns governing this huge super-power country and perform a changing of the guard in an orderly fashion for nearly 230 years. For two years I've lost sight of this fact and been genuinely concerned that this country wouldn't survive this clown in the Whitehouse. Being an avid history buff, I should have known there was previous similar history, although I'm certain not as radically socialist. So...to wrap up...the Red, White, and Blue started with Revolution, tough debate with deep differences, and those differences have never stopped. It's the debate that has kept us strong, and the original documents that we use to back them up, and that we stand on, that make even these low ebbs worth sticking around. As long as we remember to keep citizens rights with our citizens, and we remember the first word in illegal immigrant is ILLEGAL, thereby voiding any and all rights. then all will be well...again...soon...in two years. Maybe I'll run for president. My platform? Close all but one, small federal prison. Two cells. Thunderdome. Two go in, one comes out. No need for a third cell, ever. Vote for me. Also, move tax day to the day before election day. God Bless us, every one.
