On July 4th, we celebrate our nation’s birth and this year, 2020, it will be the 244th time we have done so but that date, while by no means suspect, should be seen in context. One of our founders thought the celebration would occur on a different date and he, in no uncertain terms, put it in writing using the social media of the day.

The date was July 1st, 1776 when John Adams, a prolific letter writer and a visionary founder of our nation penned a letter to his wife Abigail Adams, in which he made what at the time was a series of bold predictions.

“The second day of July, 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more.”

Adams missed the mark by 2 days, believing that the day the document was presented to the Continental Congress, not the day it would be adopted, would be the celebratory day, but this excerpt from a simple letter offers much more, I believe, than a 48 hour premature pronouncement of celebration.

That letter, I submit, is a look behind the scenes and provides a fresh look at how one of our founders perceived the moment.

I’ll return to this letter after a look at the historical context which encouraged Adams to put his pen to parchment.

On July 4th, we celebrate our nation’s birth and this year, 2018, it will be the 242nd time we have done so but that date, while by no means suspect, should be seen in context. One of our founders thought the celebration would occur on a different date and he, in no uncertain terms, put it in writing using the social media of the day.

America’s Economic Nightmare, Obama’s Liberal/Socialist Dream

By Craig Andresen – The National Patriot and Right Side Patriots on cprworldwidemedia.net

JOB 1According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the latest unemployment rate is at 5.3%…a figure ballyhooed by Obama, his regime and liberal/socialists from the left to the right coast.

While far too many Conservatives were busy sniping at Megyn Kelly and Fox News over last week’s debate and calling any and all who were not, as they were, blindly adhering themselves to Donald Trump just as the liberal/socialist sheep adhered to Obama in 2008 and again in 2012, a bunch of idiots…something very important took place.

On Friday…late Friday afternoon last, when all things the Obama regime doesn’t want you to know and amid the latest Trumped up distraction…the Bureau of Labor Statistics ALSO released another figure…that being the number of Americans unemployed and/or out of the workforce altogether and that number is…staggering.

Of Americans 16 years old and up…of working age…93,777,000 were unemployed and had made absolutely no verifiable attempt to find employment. Those are Americans…of working age…that have, because of the Obama economy…dropped out of the workforce.

That figure of 5.3%…that is the “official” unemployment rate which does NOT take into account those who have dropped out of the workforce. That 5.3% are those who DID look for work but remain unemployed.

The OUT of the workforce numbers…
