Happy Birthday, John Adams

Today is the 271st birthday of our second president, John Adams, aka the American Cato.

While not all he did was agreeable to me, he was truly a great American and a lover of liberty. On this, his birthday, we should all pause to remember exactly what American liberty is supposed to mean and how far we have strayed from the ideals of our founders.

Adams, along with Thomas Jefferson, George Washington and other men who risked their lives for American independence, would be deeply saddened by the state of America today where things such as illegal wars, unwarranted wire taps and domestic spying fail to raise the ire of Americans.

Adams helped light the fire of freedom in this country and we have failed to keep it burning.

Tom,
Just for fun...read through your copy of the Declaration of Independance...now see how many times you can substitute GWB for the king...as accuratly as possible of course.What a hoot!

Can Ohio cecede from the Union?

If those patriots lived today they would likely be jailed for Sedition!!
Damn Shame!!

Ray,

You are absolutely right. I have often said the same thing, both with GWB and Bill Clinton, as well.
