CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JULY 2, 2021
BECAUSE JULY 4 FALLS ON A SUNDAY THIS YEAR I AM COMMENTING TODAY ON THE ANNUAL CELEBRATION OF OUR FREEDOM.
FREEDOM IS FRAGILE. AS WE’VE SEEN DURING THE PANDEMIC, FREEDOM CAN BE QUICKLY TAKEN AWAY. IT HAS AMAZED ME HOW MANY AMERICANS BEHAVED LIKE SHEEP, FOLLOWING WHATEVER GOVERNMENT AND “EXPERTS” HAVE SAID, EVEN WHEN THEY TURNED OUT TO BE WRONG.
THE LEFT PROMOTES FEAR BECAUSE IT GIVES THEM CONTROL. I THINK IT WAS THE LATE JACK KEMP WHO QUOTED FRANKLIN ROOSEVELT, “THE ONLY THING WE HAVE TO FEAR IS FEAR, ITSELF,” WHILE ADDING THE ONLY THING DEMOCRATS HAVE TO PROMOTE IS FEAR.
THE LATE SENATE CHAPLAIN PETER MARSHALL SAID, “MAY WE THINK OF FREEDOM, NOT AS THE RIGHT TO DO AS WE PLEASE, BUT AS THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT.”
WHAT IS RIGHT IN AN AGE WHEN WRONG IS PROMOTED AS RIGHT? WHERE IS THE STANDARD, WHICH USED TO BE SCRIPTURE AND COMMON SENSE? IS OUR CURRENT CULTURE WHAT PATRIOTS EXTENDING BACK TO OUR FOUNDING FOUGHT AND DIED TO PRESERVE? WOULD THEY HAVE GIVEN THEIR LIVES, FORTUNE AND SACRED HONOR IF THEY KNEW WE WOULD BECOME WHAT WE ARE TODAY?. AMERICAN IS 245 YEARS OLD. AS I ARGUE IN MY LATEST BOOK, THE AVERAGE AGE OF GREAT NATIONS IS JUST 250 YEARS. I’M CAL THOMAS.
