A “Declaration of Independence” Speech


United States Declaration of Independence

Here are two links to a speech I gave to the San Antonio Tea Party in A.D. 2009.  This speech offers a good summary of my opinions and argument concerning the significance of the “Declaration of Independence”.  The first segment is about 10 minutes; the second is about 7 minutes.
It’s one of my better speeches.  In fact, I hadn’t seen the video in 18 months or more.  I’d forgotten it.  But on seeing it again I was surprised and I had to admit:  Dayahm!  That guy is gooood!
No notes.  Not even a teleprompter.  Doin’ it “old school”.  Speaking exclusively from the heart and mind.  Pretty good.
Once I got a little ways into that speech, I found myself cheering with the crowd–for me.  Maybe my egotism and vanity know no limits, or maybe it really is a pretty good speech.
Given that the 4th of July is only about seven weeks away, it might be a good idea for you folks to use these videos to “brush up” on what we’re really celebrating on the 4th: our God-given, unalienable Rights.
The original document may be somewhat faded, but the ideas it contains are as brilliant as ever.
