I make no apology for speaking in earnest rawness at such a celebratory time. Consider your stance right now. Fully realize and be mindful of what the far-reaching consequences are should we skulk silently into the shadows. The end result will be not only the abandonment but the total ruination of our unique republic. We must counter the tides of history where republics have been short-lived.
Our own slothfulness... our take everything for granted... our spoiled and over-indulged selves have brought us to this point today. Now is the time to step up. Our passion... our inner drive and thirst for freedom will raise our Mother Nation up from it’s darkness and through our recuperative powers... our virtues... our principles... we will replace catastrophic calamity with new buds and shoots of hope... with fresh reinvigorated strength.
