Happy 4th of July!

In keeping with the tradition of Paco Enterprises - to the extent that two years counts as a tradition - I am linking to the text of the Declaration of Independence, a document that we should all take the time to re-familiarize ourselves with, particularly during times such as these when it is folly to take our hard-won liberty for granted.

In my entire 55 years, I have not seen an administration, aided and abetted by its allies in the Senate and in Congress, and in state and local governments around the country, striking out with such arrogant self-assurance against the principles upon which our nation was founded. Over the last decade, each election seems to be more important than the one that preceded it, and the interim elections this year will likely indicate whether or not we have reached a tipping point in our advance toward a dreary, soul-destroying statism, presided over and implemented by hell-bent fools.

2010. Roll-back.

Update: Andrew Breitbart marks the 4th by unveiling another blog in his "Big" series: Big Peace. Check it out!

Update II: American Power has some great photos of the Tea Party protest Saturday in San Juan Capistrano.

Update III: Bob Belvedere mixes patriotism with Rule 5 action to create a potent combination.

Update IV: Ziva Sahl over at Babalu reflects on a very different society some 90 miles from Florida, and places the concept of being a so-called "hardliner" in the context of the ideals that gave rise to our own revolution.

Update V: Be careful with the pyrotechnics!
