USA Today carries a headline today which reads “USA’s Most-revered Documents go off Display.
OK – so the Declaration of Independence and some other historic documents went off display in DC last night. About $100 million is going to be spent to restore them and their historical surroundings. But, “most-revered?”
Look, there might have been a time in this country when the Declaration of Independence was truly revered – maybe even most revered. But judging from the current state of affairs in this country today – and fear most Americans have of freedom, I would think that the Declaration is way down the “revered” list.
You want some revered documents? Well, here’s a few.
-Social Security Cards.
-EBT Cards.
-Medicare and Medicaid ID cards.
-Title IX of the Civil Rights Laws
-The Americans with Disabilities Act.
-Court rulings upholding racial discrimination in the form of affirmative action.
-Sports trading cards.
-The NFL schedule.
-Any pro wrestling magazine.
-Section 8 housing applications.
-Driver’s licenses showing one to be old enough to drink.
-Soap opera magazines.
Americans would be far more disturbed over the disappearance of any of the above documents than they would be over the disappearance of the Declaration of Independence. Sad --- but you know I’m tellin’ it like it
