July 4, 2014 - This week Amerikans will enjoy Independence Day with family cookouts and fireworks. Flags will be displayed in abundance. Sadly, however, what should be a celebration of the courage of those who risked so much to oppose tyranny will instead be turned into a celebration of government, not liberty.

The massive drop is matched in such countries as Egypt, Pakistan, and Venezuela.

The Revolution
By Brent Johnson
(to the tune of “The Gambler”)

Once upon a time
Across the sprawling ocean
An evil king conspired to
Destroy the liberty
Of a faraway people
With a faith in God Almighty
A commitment to a life in which
They could all be free
