What Would Our Founders Think About Independence In America Today?

Jane Hampton Cook sat down with J-D (over the phone of course) and discussed what our founding fathers would think of America today.  I wonder if Ben Franklin would be cited for his air baths??  (Find out what air baths are HERE)

Here is Jane's article:
If our Founding Fathers and Mothers were alive, what would they think about independence in America today? Though these architects of liberty placed the cornerstone with the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, would they recognize the country they first constructed?


How about Abigail Adams? This sharp-minded gal would have deep compassion and understanding for those struggling financially. She didn’t need unemployment rates to tell her how bad the economy was in her day.

“A hundred dollars will not purchase what ten formerly would” she moaned.

When husband John Adams joined the Continental Congress, he sacrificed half his family’s income. Abigail took over the other half — their farms. Her problems spouted faster than garden weeds. Inflation. Counterfeit cash. Labor shortages. Terse tenants.

“Frugality, industry and economy are the lessons of the day. At least they must be so for me or my small boat will suffer shipwreck,” she determined.

Abigail kept her family afloat by persevering and employing some Yankee ingenuity. Eventually she sold dresses and household goods that John sent her from Paris, making her the “eBay-er” of her generation.


From Wall Street to Main Street, Abigail would applaud Americans’ unending pursuit of life, liberty and happiness.

Take the brash and brilliant Samuel Adams — the voice of the Sons of Liberty, Boston’s underground network that fought the king’s policies. What would Sam think of today’s Tea Parties? He would applaud them simply because they are free to do what he couldn’t — protest in the open without disguise or fake IDs.

Sam’s bold words, such as “LIBERTY, LIBERTY, is the cry” were carefully concealed behind clever nicknames. Instead of his real name, he used “Determinatus” or “Candidus” for his newspaper articles. The Sons of Liberty disguised themselves as Indians for that first Tea Party.

They didn’t dare show their faces as they dumped tea into Boston’s harbor. Sam would applaud today’s Tea Parties because they prove that the freedom to assemble is not only alive but thriving.

What about Ben Franklin, the scientist extraordinaire? He was too thrifty to be first in line for last month’s iPhone4 release, but this electricity chaser would have loved the Internet. If he could have, he would’ve tweeted on Twitter and showed off his spectacles on Facebook.

On July 4, 1776, this language lover would have posted this quip: “We must indeed all hang together, or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately.”

Franklin would be thrilled that freedom of press and speech are still vigorously enjoyed. After all he understood this truth: “Without freedom of thought, there can be no such thing as wisdom; and no such thing as public liberty, without freedom of speech.”

Take, too, Thomas Paine. “’TIS TIME TO PART” he declared in his best-selling pamphlet, "Common Sense," in 1776. Would the sheer size of the federal government today shock him? Would he be appalled at the alleged abuse of power in the Blagojevich trial in Illinois? The federal expansion of health care? Deficit spending? Yes to all.

Today’s problems would seem more glaring than the sun to Paine. However, one fundamental reality would make him smile. His common sense solution is still intact. Paine’s practical plan was to establish a new government with checks and balances among executive, legislative and judicial branches. His remedy for royalty was representation.

While often imperfect, that freedom hasn’t changed. Americans still have the power to vote for their local officials, representatives, president, and often, their judges. They can openly express their opposition to policies they oppose.

Paine’s description of independence still holds true: “The sun never shined on a cause of greater worth.” That reality is something to celebrate this Independence Day.

Jane Hampton Cook, is co-author of “Stories of Faith and Courage from the War in Iraq and Afghanistan” and author of “Stories of Faith and Courage from the Revolutionary War.”

Jane also wrote an essay Why everyone should read the Declaration of Independence

Why are the New Black Panthers getting a pass?

Conceal and Carry with a twist

DAVID SCHECHTER and DEAN TRAVINSKI on wfaa.com report, Perhaps the most interesting thing about the concealed handgun class taught by Brad Brasuell of Denton is this: There is no shooting of an actual handgun.


Brasuell doesn't believe in it. And even though it's required by Texas law, he doesn't have to teach it.
"It's a false sense of security, is what it is," he said.

It's an open secret on gun ranges across Texas. You can get a license to carry a concealed weapon without ever having fired a gun.

How can that be?

A growing number of instructors offer Texas students a chance to get another state’s concealed handgun license, which does not require any live shooting.

And it's perfectly legal.

That's because Brasuell offers a course to qualified Texas students using Utah's concealed handgun program.

Across Texas and around the nation, the Utah classes are very popular. Here's a comparison:

Texas requires 10 hours of class time; Utah, four hours

Texas requires a written test; Utah does not

Texas requires range time; Utah does not

When it's over, Texas students get a Utah license; in the eyes of the law in Texas, there is no absolutely no difference between the two.

In the last 18 months, Brasuell taught nearly 2,000 Texas residents in the Utah gun class, more than anyone else in the state.

"This program gets to the nuts and bolts of understanding what you need to know,” said Brad Belshaw, one of Brasuell’s recent students.

And that, according to Brasuell, is what makes his course it so popular. "With the Utah program, I'm able to concentrate 100 percent of my time and focus on the 20 percent of the core material that people need to know of the day-to-day of carrying a handgun,” he said.

Jerry Raburn is a Denton County Constable and a Texas-certified instructor. He says Texas should not recognize out-of-state licenses issued to Texas residents, particularly ones that require no shooting.

“Shame on the instructor, shame on the license holder and shame on the State of Texas for allowing it,” Raburn said. “I'm probably not going to make any friends saying this, but I don't like taking shortcuts. And we shouldn't be taking them.”

The Texas Department of Public Safety, which issues licenses in this state, says it has no authority to prohibit or control the teaching of Utah classes in Texas. Only the legislature can change that.

Raburn thinks it should. "It's getting around the intent of the Texas statutes,” he said.

Many states have agreements to recognize each other's concealed handgun licenses. Raburn says the effect of the Utah program is to lower everyone else's standards.

News 8 found that in the last year-and-a-half, Utah issued nearly 74,000 licenses to residents of other states — 40 percent more than the number issued to its own citizens.

"They make it user-friendly,” Brasuell said.

But the question, for critics like Constable Raburn, is — is that enough?
