    Sen. Tim Scott said Tuesday that citizens should celebrate instead of cancel the nation's founding fathers for their wisdom in creating the system of government we have.

    "We are blessed to live in the greatest nation on God's green earth," Scott said Tuesday
    …"Our founding fathers were geniuses who should be celebrated, not canceled."…
    …"Only in America, could the son of a single mother rise from poverty to become a candidate for president," he said. "America is the land of opportunity, not a land of oppression. I know it because I've lived it."..
    …"America was born out of a revolution for freedom and opportunity," Scott posted on Twitter Tuesday. "In no other land would my story be possible. Today, and every day, I'm proud to be an American."…

    NewsMax news report on US Sen. Tim Scott’s words are music to the ears of all who are proud to be an American. He’s demonstrated the land of opportunity that America is. His words as reported here show that America is not a systemically racist nation but a union being made more perfect.

    I’ll be too drunk, too full and too busy watching Will Smith fight off alien invasions to worry about canceling anybody, thanks.

    Thank you Senator Scott for saying what you said. You are right and your words do need to be widely reported. Now some will attack for what he said while being black, but his life story and his current role as a US Senator back up what he’s reported saying here. Have a happy 4th of July everyone.

    Great idea! I’m going to watch that movie after the fireworks tonight. In the meantime I intend to take the Senators words to heart as we celebrate our Independence Day! :flagus::unclesam:

    A. Tim Scott is an amiable moron.

    B. Newsmax is a RWNJ propaganda outlet.

    C. If anyone is "cancelling" the founders it would be the party who tried to overthrow the government on 1/6.

    How does one cancel men that have been dead for 200 years?

    Their belief that some people were 3/5ths of a person so their voices should be ignored and that women should have no role or rights outside the home fits in well with the modern Republican Party though.

    Ok, so less "amiable" than I thought.

    @XXJefferson#51 , Tim Scott who is campaigning much like a traditional R, does not have a chance in hell with the Trump supporters. They want to victimize the 65+% of remaining Americans they find fault with.

    Must be another slow day for MAGAs, Tim Scott spoke about the founding fathers. I wish those MAGAs considered the founding fathers on 1/6/21.

    Tim Scott can keep carrying that GOP water all he wants, he knows what it's like to be black.

    Beats the hell out of the way Sedition Sally started his day off

    SNIP
    The 77-year-old former president shared a meme on Truth Social Tuesday featuring a ““F— Biden” flag and grousing that the current president doesn’t have a lot of partisans wearing their support on their sleeves — or heads.

    “81 million votes …. and I’ve never seen a pro Biden hat, shirt or flag in my life,” the meme said.

    “True: No Biden hats anywhere. Never seen one!” Trump captioned the meme, which he posted at 2:24 a.m.
    ENDSNIP

    I guess he was up for his 2am feeding and change?

    Seems like a decent enough fascist, but the MILLISECOND Trump turns on Tim Scott (and it's when, not if), he'll be tossed into the dustbin of history...

    ?WHO? Besides tRaitor tRump is "canceling the Founders"? Only a tRaitor tRump republican would think AmeriCAN patriots would cancel OUR Founders.
    • Who was impeached tWice ... tRaitor tRump
    • Who has made it his career to denigrate the fundamental institutions of government we have relied on since our founding ... tRaitor tRump.
    • Who tried to overturn a free, fair and honest election (he lost) ... tRaitor tRump
    • Who incited an insurrection that resulted in an attack on OUR Capitol ... tRaitor tRump.
    • Who went kicking and screening ... and pouting from the White House instead of attending his successors inaugration like it's been done for generations ... tRaitor Trump
    • Who stole top secret documents and did everything in his power to keep them ... and bragged about ... tRaitor tRump
    • Who is the ONLY former president to be indicted ... twice ... with more coming ... tRaitor tRump.

    The whole Country is Celebrating our "FOUNDING" today ... except ... tRaitor tRump.
    Republican's are out of their damn minds and sCott is trying to blame patriotic AmeriCANs. :shock:

    Our Founding Fathers were genius - so the MAGA crowd disrespects them when they try to outlaw abortion, which was legal in much of the country for
    the first 100 years of our history.

    The scariest thing to the left, a black conservative.
    Look how they tremble at a black man who has broke free of the democrat chains.
    Tim Scot isn’t woke…. He is awoken!

    That's an interesting bit of history. Funny, that it doesn't much come up.

    BINGO-- Republicans are supporting someone who wants to destroy the system, for which those forefathers, laid the foundation; yet baselessly claim that non-Republicans lack appreciation for what was created, from our Revolution.

    In that Spirit of '76 mold, was the way that many rioters viewed themselves, in their deludedness.

    1) It wasn't a guy, but a WNBA player's tweet.

    2) It came after the SCOTUS decision, cancelling Affirmative Action.

    3) You think that this is the typical view of the Left-- that America is "trash?"

    Here's the thing-- and @XXJefferson#51 seems not to realize it, either:
    one needn't regard our forefathers as perfect, to still admire them; nor is the only way to love our country, by seeing our history as beyond fault.

    In truth,
    it was our forefathers' intent that we would strive to make the American Experiment into a "MORE PERFECT Union"-- because none of them would be so self-defeating, as to pretend that nothing about the country could be improved.
