  I must say, the irony of what they tried to achieve, and the willingness of people to stand for the erosion of freedoms today is quite astonishing. No point in even celebrating this any more.

    Was listening to Thom Hartmann the other day. Read off the declaration and pointed out over and over again the things that the Bush does that are similar to what the British did to the colonies that were referenced in the Declaration.

      Yes, the similarities are striking. Wouldn't it be nice if rather than fireworks and singing, the DC 'celebration' actually read the Declaration to the American people to show just what they're celebrating. I don't believe most even know.

        Yes, it would be nice. Too many people have mistaken nationalism for patriotism. To many people have bought into the radical right neocon and the radical religious right's bogus history of the founding of this country. What scares me, is some of the lies, especially the Christian Nationalist lies, are finding their ways into our history textbooks.

        Apparently, there are a group of people trying to get the Democrats to have the Declaration read it it's entirety, at the convention.

          It's a great idea, and a shame it even has to be suggested.
