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.
Who are you going to protest against exactly? These politicians aren't just mysteriously getting into power. Democrats are being elected even in former red states like Colorado and Virginia because majorities of American citizens in those places are are voting for them.
We have a people problem in this country. Poor candidate though he was, Romney was basically right about 47% voting Democrat no matter what. Add 4% more stupid to that and you have Obama's 51% of the vote. At some point Americans that want a free country without endless government interference are going to have to make the non producers, sheep, etc, understand that they can take no more from us. Until that happens, nothing is likely to change anytime soon.
I do not adhere to any organized religious belief I occasionally go to Mass, Mosques, and Temples I do not believe there is a hell
I think you're a little confused.
And I think you did a bit of cherry-picking. Here's his whole profile:
Because people have asked..... — I am pro-military, did Army and Navy time, 1969-1977 — Civilian stuff with the military, 1979-present — I am pro 2nd Amend — I shoot regularly, load my own, NRA member for over 25yrs — At one time was a competative fencer, Epee — I have usually voted Republican, but will vote for the best candidate, regardless of party, or not vote — I am over 60, post-college educated — 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.
Maybe we should make a nation wide (huge) march in an appropriate location! This event would be in support of the Declaration of Independenc, the USConstitution and its mandatory Bill of Rights, with special mention of the 2nd, 9th and 10th items therein. It could be a somber assembly of all to remember our foundings and how far we have fallen from the supreme laws of our country.
The correct location might be:
Boston, Mass. the Tea Party.
Lexington, Mass. the shot heard around the world.
or maybe in the central states:
Denver, Col.
I’m less excited about gathering in DC, since this is Federal property.
The states must be revived.
I don’t know what you are trying to say, but what you have written seems pretty bizarre.
Try out the new (to me) bbq the neighbor discarded across the st.
Will save up some $ for hot dogs.
Haven’t flown the American flag since Obama reelected. Maybe I’ll fly one upside down. Oh, and I’m going to eat some red meat (though not as tasty as whatever Moochelle is having) and drink a 55 oz.soda.
Thank you for posting that call for protest. Time to take the gloves off.
And TO HELL with you idiots who say you will just drink beer and eat hot dogs before watching the fireworks. You are the reason we’re in this tailspin. The Framers gave us government by the people, and that requires some attention to to government affairs BY the people or we’ll get the clusterf***k we’ve got now.
What we need is a leader. Maybe one of those cashiered generals thrown out by Obummer. The “man on horseback” needs to mount up.
Give us a good leader ... one we trust ... and millions of us are good to go.
My thoughts for the last couple years........I spent it alone, cutting my grass.
You thinking about having a BBQ? I'll bring beer.......
That was thoughtful, thank you
Your country is not lost as long as free persons take a stand. Do not do what we Jews did in Europe and resign yourself to God’s world. Our job is to fight for this one first.
