As our nation marks its 250th anniversary this summer, it is worth reflecting on the principles that have defined American values and success over those two and a half centuries: freedom, liberty, opportunity, and sacrifice. Of those, sacrifice may not be what first comes to mind when ...
As our country celebrated not just any Independence Day, but the 250th anniversary of one of the boldest declarations in human history, the festivities gave us an excellent opportunity to look back on two-and-a-half centuries of this American experiment and check ourselves against what the ...
Congratulations to “Boardman” for chastising “Canfield” for his disgraceful rhetoric concerning our president. I am one of many who find “Canfield” disgusting and I wonder why he deserves so much weekly space in The Vindicator.

This has resulted in federal regulation of matters too infinitesimal to measure, that are not ...
“We hold these truths to be self- evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” Since those eloquent words adopted 250 years ago Saturday as the bedrock foundation of America’s Declaration of Independence, the United States has remained steadfastly true to its nation-defining goals. It’s not always been easy or without pain, anger and bloodshed, but in those 2 1/2 centuries, the United States has worked consistently to slowly but surely expand its ...
