What has happened to The Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave?
The 45th President of the United States claimed that Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson and Abraham Lincoln and many of our great Presidents fought with the media and called them out often times on their lies. Trump attacks 'dishonest media' while making false claims at Florida rally
The same Thomas Jefferson that said " Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. "
The same Thomas Jefferson that wrote, " The way to prevent these irregular interpositions of the people is to give them full information of their affairs thro’ the channel of the public papers, & to contrive that those papers should penetrate the whole mass of the people."
We had a great President by the name of John F Kennedy that once said,
Today, we have a President that has called the press the enemy of the American people. We have a President that lives with "alternative" facts.
The Constitution of the United States says We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America
The first amendment of the Constitution states: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
It sounds great to yell from dusk to dawn, "Make America Great Again!" But a great America comes from our great history, a history based upon our Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
The Statue of Liberty, (an immigrant from France) has written on its base ""Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
Yes, let's make America great again. But let's go back to the basics. Let's go back to building America TOGETHER rather than tearing it apart. Let's go back to building America based on Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness. Let's go back to building America together with the masses yearning to breathe free. Let's go back to building America with a trust and belief in our government AND the media. Let's go back to building America asking what we can do for the country. It is our country, always has been and always will be and nobody took it from us and no one is about to give it back to us. We all have our responsibilities to make America great again, so let's quit talking about it and start working on it...
