These Founding Forefathers - Gettysburg Address : via
America was founded by rowdy folks who enjoyed nothing better than applying tar and feathers to British tax collectors. The Fourth of July in Washington has been going downhill ever since 9/11.
In 2015, police urged people heading for the National Mall on July Fourth to sign up for a free emergency text alert system called NIXLE. (Subtext: “All your email addresses belong to us!”)
In 2018, Facebook, auditioning for a Federal Censorship Medal of Honor, deleted a Texas newspaper’s reposting of a portion of the Declaration of Independence because it went against Facebook standards on hate speech. Facebook used the same standard to suppress photos of the Branch Davidian home in flames after the FBI tank assault.
In 2019, when President Trump ordered the Pentagon to bring out of mothballs some World War II-era Sherman tanks, the media was indignant. It was exalting government power and politicians on a day meant to celebrate individual liberty.
