July 4, 1776

Philadelphia-Progressive delegates to the Second Continental Congress booed lustily during the passage of of a motion to include the phrases 'Nature's God,' 'endowed by their Creator,' and Consent of the Governed' into the Declaration of Independence.

One delegate complained, "In the list of grievances, where is the acknowledgment that the present King of Great-Britain's history has inflicted repeated injuries, usurpations, and tyranny in failing to provide free contraception, tax funded abortion, and single payer universal health care?"

Another delegate asserted, "The sorry condition that presently effects the colonies is all George's fault!"
