Charlie Daniels — My Beautiful America

[rikkir]

Best memory was the first year WBT in Charlotte simulcast music for the fireworks over downtown.
It was terrible, nowhere near in time, but there we 50-60 cars in the old VW dealers lot on Wilkinson Blvd, all of us with our radios cranked up, all of us toasting what a great country we lived in. It was too much fun!

[dragnet2]

I will be mourning the Forth of July this year.

And until America is made great again!

The reason we're hated

The reason they want to come here

This country is the best

Challenged, but up to the test

"Sure I wave the American flag.
Do you know a better flag to wave?

Sure I love my country with all her faults.
I'm not ashamed of that, never have been, never will be"

Being a kid in the Adirondacks, hopping on a snowmobile and riding old logging roads for hours all winter long.

Being older and off-roading those same areas, camping and having a blast with my buds all summer long in the land of the free.

They are all closed off now.

The Fightin’ Side Of Me - Merle Haggard

I hear people talkin’ bad
About the way we have to live here in this country
Harpin’ on the wars we fight
An’ gripin’ ‘bout the way things oughta be

An’ I don’t mind ‘em switchin’ sides
An’ standin’ up for things they believe in
When you’re runnin’ down my country, man
You’re walkin’ on the fightin’ side of me

Yeah, walkin’ on the fightin’ side of me
Runnin’ down the way of life
Our fightin’ men have fought and died to keep

If you don’t love it, leave it
Let this song I’m singin’ be a warnin’
You’re runnin’ down my country, man
You’re walkin’ on the fightin’ side of me

I read about some squirrelly guy
Who claims, he just don’t believe in fightin’
An’ I wonder just how long
The rest of us can count on bein’ free

They love our milk an’ honey
But they preach about some other way of livin’
When you’re runnin’ down my country, hoss
You’re walkin’ on the fightin’ side of me

Yeah, walkin’ on the fightin’ side of me
Runnin’ down the way of life
Our fightin’ men have fought and died to keep

If you don’t love it, leave it
Let this song I’m singin’ be a warnin’
But you’re runnin’ down my country, man
You’re walkin’ on the fightin’ side of me

Yeah, walkin’ on the fightin’ side of me
Runnin’ down the way of life
Our fightin’ men have fought and died to keep

Yeah if you don’t love it, leave it
Let this song I’m singin’ be a warnin’
And you’re runnin’ down my country, man
You’re walkin’ on the fightin’ side of me

Songwriter: Merle Haggard

Post your favorite pic, memory, song, or statement about the good old' U.S.A

I miss it.

[Baldwin77]

Just can’t celebrate this year. Our independence is gone.

[PGalt]

The flag will not be flying at my house for the first time.

[WKTimpco]

I refuse to celebrate. There is no
federalism, and so no United States
either. Pray for resuscitation.

[Samwell Tarly]

Receiving my Eagle Scout, long before being a Boy Scout came to mean nothing.

That was more than a decade and a half ago. I miss my old America.

Happy Independence Day To All

IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776 The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen
united States of America hen in the Course of human events it becomes
necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected
them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate
and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle
them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should
declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

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, that
among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. —--
*****
The beginning of The Declaration as written...

God Bless America And All Who Have Fought For
And Preserved Our Freedoms
