Happy 4th fellow Tiger Patriots

America is the greatest country in the world because we are the only country to devise a constitution where the sole point of our government is to protect our life, liberty, and ability to pursue happiness. The government exists at our pleasure to protect our freedoms to be ourselves and exist without coercion or compulsion. A limited government with specified powers and no more. We the people are the foundation of America, not the government. Our liberty is inalienable, granted by God, meaning no man or government has the right to take our liberty away because that's not where that right came from and that's not who gave it to us.
These freedoms combined with a free market capitalist system where we own the right to our personal ability to produce and are allowed to sell it to competing business who wish to buy it. This economic freedom is a fundamental component to having liberty, because any other system would entail some level of compulsion to work and do how a government or central planning agency would direct you.
Remember how unique this is, there is no other place on Earth like America. Men got together after defeating the Brits and said "How do we form a government that serves the people better than anything that has ever existed" and they crafted from scratch a form of governance that was ideal to the principles of liberty. Not a top-down government approach, where elements of the government exist to protect itself -- quite the opposite; and then they spelled out the right to speak out against our government should it act inappropriately, and then the right to bear arms to protect ourselves and give us the ability to revolt and start the American project over should nefarious people attempt to destroy what precious system they had devised.
I think the American constitution is a beautiful work of art, of unparalleled compromises, with precision in its balance. The most well thought out political invention, and the most incredible and important political invention that has ever existed in the course of all of humanity.
We must cherish our American way of life, be willing to protect it with our lives, for the sake of our children, their children, and the entire world, and proudly state that pledge out loud to our flag as testimony of that belief.
God Bless America
And GO TIGERS!!
