On this day, some may appreciate visiting or revisiting the late Dr. John Attarian's perspective. Note also today's LRC article by Gary North on rising taxes since the days of the American War for Independence.
Others may appreciate visiting or revisiting an audio recording of a more moderate lecture by the now late Dr. Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn, including the statement that the American fight for independence was not initially anti-monarchical. The declaration celebrated today merely asserted His Britannic Majesty's personal unfitness for rule of a free people.
Some may appreciate both.
Yet all should note Dr. Kevin R. C. Gutzman's statement on "spreading democracy":
The fulfillment of the 4th of July will come when the United States has sponsored democratic revolutions throughout the world.BTW, yesterday was the anniversary of the end of the Battle of Gettysburg. Had that battle gone the other way, we very well might not have known the term "Wilsonianism."
No. Both George Washington (in an address he co-wrote with Alexander Hamilton and John Jay) and Thomas Jefferson counseled that the U.S. avoid foreign entanglements, and thus foreign wars.
