Hope everyone has a great Independence Day with family and friends while we take the opportunity to remember the principals that made this country the best on earth.
Happy Independence day to all American Patriotic forces!
May we keep America a great Republic and may she carry on even greater for the next 241 years! 'Slava Bogu'!, America!
I'm reminded of this quote from Scripture, from Maccabees chapter 8 verse 13-16, with the Israelite writer praising the Roman Republic (Canonical Holy Writ in Russian Orthodox Church);
"Those the Romans desire to help and raise up as kings, they establish; and those kings they wish to depose, they depose, for they have great power. But despite all this, none of the Romans has donned a crown or vested in purple, so as to be magnified by it. Instead they formed a council for themselves, and three-hundred and twenty Senators constantly deliberate concerning the people, to help them behave in an orderly fashion. They trust one man to govern them for a year and to rule over their land. Everyone heeds this one leader, and there is no jealousy or strife among them. "
