Happy Birthday America! Let’s celebrate.
So if the Dems want to skip the annual Independence Day parade – ostensibly due to the cost – let them. They’re only spoiling it for themselves. I suspect they would have complained about the cost of our actual independence as well as they certainly don’t seem to approve of any of the nation’s founding principles. Is there anything about America the Dems don’t want to destroy?
So while they hope, as they don’t pray, for rain on our parades I say let’s force them to boycott everything American: burgers,
hot dogs, potato salad, baked beans
In fact, let’s make as much delicious triggering food as you can think of. Let’s buy American flag toothpicks by the gross and mark our territory.
Ribs, steaks, fries, brownies, strawberry shortcake…if it’s delicious, flag it. Soon there will be nothing left for the dedicated America-haters to eat except precious overpriced chi-chi food.
So get out there and hit your local 4th of July parade, grill up some burgers and make some potato salad. For this is truly the day (trigger warning!) the Lord made.
Happy Birthday America – Long May You Run!

The music lineup includes Carole King, the OJays, plus many gospel & classical. Apparently the name of Jesus Christ will ring out on the Mall today.
The MUST SEE is LINDSEY STIRLING. She’s young & hot.She plays VIOLIN. She DANCES. She SINGS. She COMPOSES for VIOLIN. And she’s a CHRISTIAN.
She has a lovely Christmas album, too.
There was no concern from Democrats when Obama spent $10 TRILLION more than we had and doubled the national debt. Happy birthday America!!!!
Ah, for the day when every town will have a guillotine.
For progressives.
Then we can truly be independent.
And go to whatever restaurants we want.
And wear hats we wish.
We are doing burgers, homemade cole slaw and potato salad. Well, and wine. flag flying on the front porch. Happy fourth of July to all freepers.
Here’s more Lindsey Stirling:
The left has Antifa & rap.
These are OUR young people!
The Great American Experiment. The very words, “Life, Liberty and the Prusuit of Happiness”, rights granted by our Creator to all men, embodied a startlingly new idea in the history of humanity, most of which had been spent in the thrall of one kind of authoritarian rule or another.
Sure, there were flaws in the original presentation of this concept, but through time and the expenditure of much effort and critical thinking, many of these flaws have been ironed out. Typical of the times, many persons were slaveholders, considered to be “property” in that period of history. It is important to note that “pursuit of happiness” is actually a code word for property ownership in one interpretation. Another meaning would be in bringing the greater good to the greatest number, thus providing for an era of general happiness, and for that reason was used rather than “property rights”. There were many of whom had little but the clothes on their backs and coin in their pocket, who would also be accorded this God-given right, for they were then given free opportunity to acquire as much or as little of the worldly possessions as they so chose.
The concept of the rule of law, and not of men, was introduced as well, by extending the leadership to the few, by a reasoned consent of all the governed measured by the popular opinion expressed as a vote. The power to withdraw that consent was also protected, in that either the persons put in power were abusing it, or that they had failed in their obligation to govern wisely and well.
I am halfway through THE BRITISH ARE COMING. Excellent read. My knowledge of the American revolution is seriously lacking which means I still know more than most. I shall remedy that this summer while polishing up my Russian Civil War class for the fall.
Happy 4th of July to you!
Of interest - I found that picture 10 or more years ago and added the animated fireworks to it! Days gone by.... :)
