Independence Day

Last year, I posted a birthday greeting and get-well letter or my country, which I flatter myself, may be worth rereading, since a demagogue who despises the Constitution is still president. There is also a piece at Reason remembering H.L. Mencken, and his fears that the American people would someday elect a genuine moron and a worse demagogue than Franklin Roosevelt, which has come to pass.

Come the evening of the Fourth, I hope to see and enjoy the fireworks, and to Tuonela with Dishonest Donald’s attempt to make our national day all about him.

Independence Day

The fireworks display over Washington was magnificent, and since I watched it from across the Potomac in Arlington, I didn’t have to listen to what our toddler president had to say.

Before the Fourth becomes the Fifth, let me recommend what Randy Barnett had to say today about the meaning of the Declaration of Independence.
