Historical fact: Independence Day is a celebration of freedom from government tyranny
(NaturalNews) Happy July 4th, my fellow Americans. It's the Independence Day weekend! Independence from what, you might ask? As even the somewhat revisionist history taught in public schools readily admits, July 4th is a celebration of independence from government tyranny under British rule.

56 Men Who Signed the Declaration of Independence
56 Men Who Signed the Declaration of Independence
56 MEN
Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence?
Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died.
Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned.
Two lost their sons serving in the Revolutionary Army, another had two sons captured.
Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the Revolutionary War.
They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.
What kind of men were they?
Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were merchants, nine were farmers and large plantation owners; men of means, well educated.
But they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the penalty would be death if they were captured.
Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and properties to pay his debts, and died in rags.
Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to leave his family almost constantly. He served in the Congress without pay, and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him, and poverty was his reward.
Vandals or soldiers looted the properties of Dillery, Hall, Clymer, Walton, Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton.
At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson, Jr., noted that the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters. He quietly urged General George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed, and Nelson died bankrupt.
Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed his wife, and she died within a few months.
John Hart was driven from his wife's bedside as she was dying. Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill were laid waste. For more than a year he lived in forests and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his children vanished. A few weeks later he died from exhaustion and a broken heart.
Norris and Livingston suffered similar fates.
Such were the stories and sacrifices of the American Revolution. These were not wild eyed, rabble-rousing ruffians. They were soft-spoken men of means and education.
They had security, but they valued liberty more. Standing tall, straight, and unwavering, they pledged:
"For the support of this declaration, with firm reliance on the protection of the divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other, our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor."
They gave you and me a free and independent America.
The rest of the story . . . .
God Bless the USA

No Surprise! Not here in New Hampshire any way. New Hampshire NEVER places children with relatives. They state, "Relative Placement is NOT an option, period." Word's of a Nashua Supervisor.
The first tragedy struck in November, when child-protective workers and police discovered twin boys in Newton who were severely neglected and malnourished in their parents' care.

Hold on to your lunch!!!
Legally Kidnapped: Hold on to your lunch!!!
With her daughter nearly grown a decade ago, McCoy became the foster mother of three brothers, ages 1 to 3. What she intended as a temporary arrangement soon changed when the boys melted her heart.
"They called me 'Mommy,' " she said.
Note: You gotta get a kick out of these heartwarming adoption recruitment articles where they portray these child lovers who fall for every kid who comes through their door, and they all lived happily ever after. This is not normal I tell you. In fact, foster care adoptions tend to be very difficult. Why? Because they screw these kids up prior to the adoption being finalized, so most kids in the system who are available for adoption come with tons of baggage including psychological issues and health problems. In reality, the media sends the wrong message. They portray the abnormal success story and portray it as the norm with promises of happy families and dreams coming true. They fluff it up with false positivity. They use all the buzz words that tugs on the heart strings of the emotion junkies. And they lie.
God bless America! Land of the brave and home of the gullible.
LK, I couldn't have said it better myself!
