Ron Paul: Celebrate Independence Day By Opposing Government Tyranny

In a recorded telephone message made available on Monday this week to supporters, Ron Paul suggested that Americans consider a different course of action this Fourth of July, reports RT.

“This week Americans will enjoy Independence Day with family cookouts and fireworks. Flags will be displayed in abundance. Sadly, however, what should be a celebration of the courage of those who risked so much to oppose tyranny will instead be turned into a celebration of government, not liberty. The mainstream media and opportunistic politicians have turned Independence Day into the opposite of what was intended,” Paul said.

“The idea of opposing — by force if necessary — a tyrannical government has been turned into a celebration of tyrannical government itself.”
