“No other theory is adequate to explain or comprehend the Declaration of Independence. It is the product of the spiritual insight of the people. We live in an age of science and of abounding accumulation of material things. These did not create our Declaration. Our Declaration created them. The things of the spirit come first. Unless we cling to that, all our material prosperity, overwhelming though it may appear, will turn to a barren sceptre in our grasp. If we are to maintain the great heritage which has been bequeathed to us, we must be like-minded as the fathers who created it. We must not sink into a pagan materialism. We must cultivate the reverence which they had for the things that are holy. We must follow the spiritual and moral leadership which they showed. We must keep replenished, that they may glow with a more compelling flame, the altar fires before which they worshiped.”

I like it a lot

Sillik, this is normally where I shake my lowered head in disbelief; BUT, your lying word salad here is abnormally false (even for you — beyond simple stupid and ignorance). Your plain display observance is twisted beyond recognition. Those that declared their independence chose an existence harmonious to nature's law which would assure individual sovereignty, inalienable rights, liberty, peace, prosperity, love and truth. Such is diametrically opposed to the occupying statist theocracy infesting this land's implementation of enslaving socialism, funny money / debt, and all else that is contrary to the nobility that is the child (children) of Eternity's King.

Mike,, Norwalk, don't understand too much of you're conveyance as usual.  Unity, unification, unifying is nature's harmonious intent, hence the UNITED STATES  OF AMERICA or UNITED ENGLAND, whatever unites, it all the same to the rational. Mentioning the component of King reminds us however that there, as it turns out, is  not much distinguishing difference with the Presidents, they both appear fueled by the same destructive class based properties. Kings and Presidents, neither appear to enable progress very effectively. We the people rule this country, world, always have, always will.  Voices, not votes, voices of ideas. 

Mike,, Norwalk, a colonial issuance of unification with the parent motherland, would have more effectively fueled appropriate emotions and designs of liberty and tolerance for the colony's slave population and other oppressed, then the declaration of separation as the declaration of "independence" turned out to, in reality, declare.
