Anonymous Coward User ID: 9344496 Canada 06/30/2022 02:45 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Two score and nine years ago our abortive mothers brought forth, upon this continent, an abomination, conceived in slavery, dedicated to the proposition that some beasts are more equal and deserving of life than others. Now we are nearing a great civil war, testing whether the nation, or any nation so corrupted, and so desecrated, can be cured. We are met on the great battlefield of that war a terrible enemy. The initial battlefield is the realm of ideas, dedicated portions of that field exist on the internet, our government buildings, the town square, libraries, and college campuses. These were once great institutions, where ideas came to flourish, now they go there to die. For slavery of the body and the spirit, is dependent upon the ability to enslave the mind. It is all together fitting and improper that the enemies of logic and freedom would now tear down a statue of Abraham Lincoln and his Gettysburg Address. In a larger sense, this is another desecration of an important symbol, for it must be rendered null and void by the cowards who have come to rely upon political correct madness in order to eliminate reason, to disallow those concepts and principles to which free spirits are attracted. If given their way, the world will little note, nor long remember this man or his words, and it won't be able to forget them either, because they will have wiped his memory from earth. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 83739154 I will be celebrating my dog childs 9th birthday and my 8 yr wedding anniversary. My lab pup turns 1 y.o. on the 4th of July. Even though I am a Canadian, my dad was born in Boston, and many of my family on both sides are Americans. Happy 4th to you all, and as Capt. Lawrence so heroically stated-- "Don't give up the ship!" |

User ID: 40143362 United States 06/30/2022 02:58 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It's weird...I've never even thought of July 4th as a celebration of anything (let alone AmeriKa) other than my love of a good fireworks show. No matter what, I have to see one somewhere even if I'm scrambling to a location at the last minute. My son knows the drill. At around 8:30pm, we hit the road to find a show and he never knows where that will be and usually, either do I. Sometimes I'm frantic AND IT'S A CHAOTIC RIDE but we always make it to some remote spot in the nick of time, sometimes alongside a park, sometimes in the middle of the desert, sometimes sitting on the roof of my car in the parking lot of a resort close by...either way, when the sparks fly, I'm like a little kid, I smile the entire time. For 20 - 30 minutes, I forget all the stress of life and I think of nothing but the colors and the sounds and the wonder of it all. When it's all over and I've had my fill of fireworks, I feel happy and that's a celebration in an of itself. It's all fun & games until the Dogman stands up Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well-preserved body but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "Holy Shit! What a ride!" In times of trouble, I ask myself, "What would Sarah Conner do?" |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 83777982 United States 06/30/2022 02:59 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | To me and mind you this is just my opinion, but the real independence day has yet to come. It is pretentious to celebrate freedom when we are not free. When you can be robbed at gunpoint on the side of the road or shot in your own bed by the police and nothing is done, in fact it is encouraged, YOU ARE NOT FREE. How many of you realize the FED GOV gets a "cut" of every "asset forfeiture" in the USA? How many of you realize grand juries do not hear exculpatory evidence exoneration a dead citizen when a cop claims a guy needed shooting? We need to come together, we are all in the same boat, black, white Red and yellow. We are under occupation. To the ones in charge we are just a herd, to be milked , bled and manipulated, and done away with when we become problematic to their whims. We need to get rid of them. |

My life has become profoundly more enjoyable and fulfilling in the last 4-5 years, So I will be celebrating that. If you ever celebrated our "non treasonous domestic govt" or that we don't have "hostile foreign entities" taking over our country, you were celebrating foolishly. Misery loves company, so maybe if you have any company that day, you could celebrate that. |

You're no better than the many brain dead government employees who eagerly carry out illegal and unconstitutional orders because you're nothing but a mindless drone. You make me sick saying those who love their country and complain about what's happened are haters of this country. Nice try flipping the truth. Typical Liberal tactic.

Low IQ moron. Fireworks that enrich China I put a lot of thought into that during Vietnam, how "patriots" were funding the Veit Cong buying firecrackers and stressing out veterans every year with their horseshit On the subject of Vietnam, I was in the single digits for most of that "conflict" and it is what taught me it was all a lie. For the life of me, I could not figure out what peasants in Vietnam had done to me and my country that so many people celebrated the body cunt and the body count ratio, and how the war was inexorably linked to prosperity in the USA. It made me sad, and after the Mi Lai massacre I refused to stand and pledge allegiance to that flag, not just because of the oppression it represent to my own people, but people around the planet including RIGHT HERE. I took a lot of shit, I had to fight for what I thought was right against the same kind of people Jack Nicholson described in his soliloquy about freedom. Your life is worth no more to THEM than a Vietnamese child. |
