The Rant-Unshakable Bedrock ?

The United States' foundation is not based on fear or intimidation, but on prayer and compassion. Fear is a primal instinct that can divide communities and silence dissent. Intimidation, on the other hand, silences dissent and stifles innovation, poisoning public discourse. A society built on fear is a prison disguised as a state, where loyalty is coerced and progress is replaced by stagnation. The Declaration of Independence emphasizes unalienable rights, such as "Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness," which are not rooted in subjugation but in the pursuit of justice. Prayer and compassion are virtues that embody morality, fostering conscience and ethical decision-making. The American narrative has been a persistent quest to embody these higher ideals, striving to expand liberty, ensure equal protection under the law, and foster a society where every voice has the right to be heard without fear of reprisal. To allow fear and intimidation to supplant prayer and compassion is to dismantle the framework of a free society, requiring mutual respect and the pursuit of justice.
