The Declaration!
A reproduction of the original historical document. In case you ever doubted
how patriotic Democrats are when there's a real threat or danger of some kind.
HISTORY.
Every year on this date, we like to remind everyone about the
significance of the Fourth of July, so that no one has any excuse to
forget why this is such a special day. It's called the Declaration of
Independence, and its words should be engraved on every heart. Of
course, we know the movie
has been shown 143 times over the Holiday Weekend, but it's also vital
that we take a few minutes to read the actual document that's being
commemorated. Just remember: when the human race was threatened with
total annihilation, the signatories were willing to do absolutely
everything necessary as long as no nuclear weapons were involved. Thank
God (or whoever) that we had a McIntosh computer to save the day.
Here's the text:
Words to live by. Enjoy your barbecue.
Good morning. In less than one
hour planes from here and all around
the world will launch the largest aerial battle in the history of
mankind... Mankind. The word has new meaning for all of us
now. We
are reminded not of our petty differences but of our common
interests.
Perhaps it's fate that today, July the Fourth, we will fight
for our freedom. Not from tyranny, persecution or
oppression. But
from annihilation. We're fighting for our right to live, to
exist.
From this day on, the fourth day of July will be remembered
as the day that all of mankind declared we
will not go quietly into the night. We will not vanish without a
fight. We will live on. We will survive.
Words to live by. Enjoy your barbecue.
