"These are the times that try men's souls."
"What we obtain too cheap, we esteem to lightly: 'tis dearness only that gives everything it's value."
"Let them call me rebel, and welcome, I feel no concern from it; but I should suffer the misery of devils, were I to make a whore of my soul by swearing allegiance to one whose character is
that of a sottish, stupid, stubborn, worthless, brutish man."
Thomas Paine
The American Crisis
December 19,1776

It is America's 240th birthday. Independence Day 2016. These are the times that try men's souls...
Terror. No morality. No Bible. No God. Two 'presidential' candidates - one a lier and a cheat the other a loud buffoon.
Is America no longer dear to us?
