But really, it has to start somewhere. So tell me -- what are YOU doing this July 4?
I’ll likely have some grilled meat, a few beverages & blow stuff up.
Go to the range and warm up.
I’m celebrating my wedding anniversary, so I have plenty to celebrate, but I don’t recognize “Independence Day” anymore. After Obama slithered to power, it all seems like a mockery.
You can come over our place. We’re gonna listen to some Jay-Z and maybe just sit around watching drones.
We’ll probably rent a place on the beach for a few days, have family together, cook stuff, drink stuff, swim, get sunburned and enjoy the fact that we live in America.
...essentially enjoy the life and everything that God has provided for us
Celebrate my brother’s big 5-0 on the Guadalupe River.
Ah, quatorze juillet is celebrated by the French (Bastille day).
Perhaps we should think of 4 July as “Liberal Day” in which we do to the libs what the French did to their despicable rulers.
Again, I volunteer to man the guillotine. I’ll work overtime. For free. Heck, I’ll donate funds. I’ll take stimulants to stay away. Chop chop.
The level of pomp and pageantry each year seems to be directly correlated with that of government oppression and intrusion into our lives. After eight years of bam, I expect a three-day orgy of parades, readings of fealty to the State, and testimonials of love to our great leader. That said, I might get some beer and stay home.
I plan to independently break a few minor laws.
"The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property."
Good post. Sorry to see the first comments tend to wisecracks.
Something all could do is to wear black rather than the red, white and blue. If you go to a parade or fireworks, carry a Gadsden flag. If you fly Old Glory (as I do) turn it upside down.
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 !
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.
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.
In my home, we will celebrate our independence and thank God for it.
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.
