Friday is the Fourth of July.

What will you celebrate?

Freedom from the English monarchy?

When the Founders signed the Declaration of Independence, they put forth a radical idea: Rights don't come from kings or presidents.

They come from being human.

Government's job is to protect those rights.

This idea, a limited government that protects individual rights, turned out to be America's secret sauce.

It made us a freer and richer country than any other in history.

Although the Founders didn't get it all right.

We had slavery, Alien and Sedition Acts, the Indian Removal Act, Prohibition, the Patriot Act . . .

But the framework the Founders set contained tools to fix our wrongs.

Americans can speak freely, protest and change bad laws.

Today, "Democratic Socialism" is popular with young people.

They appear ready to make one of their own the next mayor of New York City.

Why?

How can they be so ignorant?
