Happy Birthday to these United States. Notice I did not say the United States. The term these United States recognizes that the individual states are sovereign. They formed the Federal Government in Washington to act as their agent in foreign affairs, to defend our shores and to deliver our mail.
Today after decades of shelving Article 10 of the Constitution giving the central government only specified or enumerated powers with all other powers reserved to the states and broadening the scope of the Commerce Clause the Federal Government now treats the states as their agent.
Anyway, it saddens me each fourth of July thinking how we let our Republic form of government what used to be called the great experiment slip away from us.
We were too busy and couldn't be bothered to notice and so it was taken from us.
The good news is that we can get it back. So on this fourth let's get busy go about the work of rescuing our great country!
