What would our founders think? This is the fourth year I’ve been privileged to write a column for the Lakeland Times for Independence Day. It is an honor for me to do so. With celebratory intentions I’ve always attempted to write about our glorious nation and its bright future. Apologizing in advance, this column will not entirely reflect that objective. Our founding fathers provided us with two of the greatest documents ever written: The Declaration of Independence which we celebrate today and the Constitution. Those two magnificent instruments set us apart from every nation in the world, guiding us as we became the model for others to follow. How would our founding fathers judge us today? Thomas Paine’s musings from the distant past offers us a partial answer to that question.
