Independence Day
 

"We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their CREATOR with certain unalienable rights...

And for the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor."

I've read the Declaration, Constitution and Bill Of Rights today. Can't find a fucking thing about "free" health care, goobermint ownership of the auto industry, taxpayer bailout of banks and brokerage houses, welfare, food stamps and amnesty for turd world illegal aliens, "affirmative action" for dumb fucks who can't read, write or properly fill out a job application.

May God Bless America. At least what's left of it.

Amen.
The BS will come to pass, and after the correction(revolution) may she shine again!

Folks, what we have here is the begining of Socialism. Were as the Government runs EVERYTHING, & EVERYBODY works for the government. Sort of sounds like another country. Lets see, oh yea Russia.:mad:

"The second day of July, 1776, will be the most memorable epocha in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forevermore." John Adams in a letter to Abigail Adams (1776-07-03); because of the official adoption of the United States Declaration of Independence two days later, the fourth of July rather than the second, became known as the US Independence Day.

I am thankful for what we have. Happy 4th!

And thanks to those (and families of those) who serve this country with honor, courage, and commitment so that we may continue to have freedom and choice.

from the words of Abraham Lincoln in 1864,

"We all declare for Liberty; but in using the same word we do not all mean the same thing. With some the word Liberty may mean for each man to do as he pleases with himself, and the product of his labor; while with others, the same word may mean for some men to do what they please with other men, and the product of their labors. here are two, not only different, but two incompatible things, called by the same name---- liberty. And it follows that each thing is, by the respective parties, called by two different and incompatible names----liberty and tyranny."

This thread has a much different tone that the Canada Day thread. :(
It's not perfect but I'm thankful for what we have and I'm ready to fight for more. Happy 4th!
