I know that I am not the only American who now thinks that July 4 should be observed as a national day of mourning, rather than celebrated as a day of independence and liberty.
For most Americans, July 4 is nothing more than National Beer, Hot Dogs, Concerts, Parties and Fireworks Day.
The very name of this "holiday" -- INDEPENDENCE DAY -- is made mockery every day by our government's embrace of the "New World Order" and its drive towards ultimate subordination of our national sovereignty to a global government.
As a nation we have virtually renounced our independent republic of laws and individual liberty and now live under a democratic kleptocracy in which our own government has abandoned any pretext of recognizing limitations on its ever growing power.
We have a president who publicly and repeatedly laments that he is not officially a king or an emperor, and blames our obsolete Constitution as the reason why he is not yet completely able to exercise dictatorial power in order to run our society as he and his oligarchical minions see fit.
Our government has stolen and squandered the unimaginable wealth created by generations of sovereign, free citizens of what was formerly the freest, most creative and productive nation on Earth.
It has driven our nation into an unavoidable bankruptcy that no amount of linguistic corruption, accounting tricks and fancy legalese will be able to camouflage much longer.
It has forced our children and grandchildren into a life of state slavery as they will be forced to watch ever more of their earnings be taken and thrown at an unsustainable and increasing debt that ultimately can never be paid off, while they are left to live on whatever pittance the government gives them, or allows them to keep.
We have leaders who brazenly insult our intelligence, flaunt their extravagant lifestyles paid for by money expropriated from our pockets, and DARE to tell us that they have to pass laws regulating virtually every aspect of our lives and economy so that we, their subjects, can find out what's in them.
We have a president who openly claims the right to take away every dollar above some imaginary threshold that he believes citizens should be allowed earn and save.
The magnitude of these and many other disgusting violations of our rights and individual sovereignty are undeniable and indefensible, and cannot help but take us down the tragic road traveled repeatedly by so many nations in the 20th century, and throughout history, to dictatorship, slavery, poverty and ultimately, societal collapse.
So isn't it time that we take over this 4th of July and make the biggest national public demonstration ever against the usurpations and violations committed by our impossibly empowered behemoth of a government whose leaders constantly define themselves as the good guys and lecture us about how we have outgrown our obsolete Constitution because they say we have?
Can we get an AMEN?? Is it possible that all those Americans who understand what is happening, who want to restore our liberty under the Constitution, and especially those public figures who have already established leadership credibility, who already have the resources, the experience and the public personas, can help put together the biggest show of outrage and determination in American history?
Is it not time? We saw how the left turned America on its head in the late 60s. We have been living for decades with the fallout from their demonstrations and marches.
If not now, when? Are we going to make this July 4 a real INDEPENDENCE DAY and send shivers down the spines of those who have usurped the people's powers and led out nation to the brink of desruction?
Or not. Maybe I'll just crack open a beer, have a hot dog, hang out with friends and go watch fireworks.
I’d like to see massive demonstrations in the streets, all across the country , of legal Americans who want to over throw the regime and their ilk.
Let’s see the media ignore THAT !
Here goes a fire extinguisher at the south fenceline:

That's why Mexican bagpipes, I mean leaf blowers, were invented.
Good question. Not a lot to be proud of in America these days. Smarmy politicians, commie entertainers that want to tell us what to do. Media drips that will tell lie upon lie with a gleam in their eye. Voters that can’t see past the end of the grubby grabby fingers. It will not be party as usual this year, just hope we are alive and not under arrest for saying these things.
There was a huge difference between the American Revolution and the French Revolution... had to do with the underlying morality of both sets of people.
One was Christian, the other was “secular”...
Yep, he’s been quite confused for quite a while. Perhaps “log cabin” confused....
Without a clear epistemology based on non-arbitrary foundations, that’s what you’ll get.
Used to fly mine 24/7 (lighted at night)
Now it’s just Memorial Day, Sept. 11 and Veteran’s Day as the other “holidays” hold no appreciable meaning to me any longer.
We’ll probably watch “John Adams” - at least the first parts of it, and we always watch “1776”. I wish they edited out the parts insulting conservatives, like they used to. At least most of it isn’t too bad. And then we’ll go to the in-laws and set off loud stuff and watch fireworks. Then end the night with Boston Pops 4th of July.
I’m still an American, and Obama isn’t, as far as I’m concerned. He can go suck lemons if he wants to. I’ll still celebrate what our Founding Fathers did!
Do some yard work. Drink beer. Sit on the deck and make my neighbors listen to classic Rock. Drink beer. Cook out. Drink beer. Watch the Cubs lose on WGN. Drink beer. Watch free fireworks from across the road from my neighborhood. Drink beer.
I’m not putting out the American flag display I once did. Not till we get our Constitution back.
The grand experiment failed.
America is dead.
We have as much in common with those brave men as we do monkeys.
We are not even the same species.
Only the naive think it can be brought back by posting , stern letters to the editor or calling millionaire culture wars pimp such as RUSH or Levin.
And We need to stop playing the victim card and blaming the GOP or McCain or Mitt- it’s OUR fault for sitting idly by.
“Now it’s just Memorial Day, Sept. 11 and Veteran’s Day as the other “holidays” hold no appreciable meaning to me any longer.”
Same list here, plus December 7.
I think you’re a little confused.

No, he’s just an annoying little troll.
Ouch! There’s so much truth in your post.
In my home, we will celebrate our independence and thank God for it.
I don’t think so
‘I believe in one God, but I do not adhere to any organized religious belief — Depending on where I am, I occasionally go to Mass, Mosques, and Temples because I find the atmospheres pleasant and conducive to thinking, although I have not visited any since 9/11 — I do not believe there is a hell, and I hope there is an afterlife.’
You should include all of what a person says, when you quote them. It a little disingenuous when you don’t.
“Sometimes folks will show up with a few cubic yards worth of aerosol cans.”
Someone asked me how tp get rid of several dozen cans of old latex paint last week. I am helping them out.
“You can come over our place. We’re gonna listen to some Jay-Z and maybe just sit around watching drones.”
DING DING DING!!!!!!!! Post of the day! LMAO!
I’m working. At least I’ll be doing God’s work, taking care of the sick. No point in celebrating the faux independence we currently have. I mourn that we lost our republic.
Its hypocritical for a conservative to lay claim toa nything the founders did.
We are not even the same species.
I hope there us a slide show.. It was a licensed cultural exchange, after all.
