The Declaration is not a relic. It is a warning. | Blaze Media: 

Calvin Coolidge understood that America cannot keep the fruits of liberty if it abandons the spiritual roots that made liberty possible. Acentury ago in Philadelphia, July 5, 1926, Calvin Coolidge gave America the speech it needed on its 150th birthday. He did not flatter the country. He did not scold it. He reminded Americans that the Declaration was not a museum piece or a political slogan, but a spiritual document rooted in permanent truths. On our 250th birthday, his warning looks less like history than prophecy.
