You too, Carlo!
Thank you my friend.. :)
I remember America it was a great country. Whatever happened to it?
The Continental Congress voted for independence on July 2, 1776. In a letter to his wife dated July 3, John Adams predicted that July 2nd would be celebrated every year as independence day.

WHERE DID I GO WRONG?
When did I become so out of touch with almost everything that appears to be going on around me? Before today, I was considered a mainstream guy, a straight shooter. I think of myself as a typical guy, right out of the American heartland, literally.. Where did I go wrong?
I am a red blooded American male, cut from the common cloth.. I believe in America, and the American Ideals, which was; God fearing, staunchly patriotic, hard-working, tax paying, law-abiding, a Norman Rockwell average Joe..However, by todays standards, I am backward, bigoted, racist, homophobic, misogynistic, judgmental, oh, and an imperialistic bully.. Sheeesh..
If I haven't changed much in my values, since I was a youngster, I still have the books that provided me with my mainstream views and values, that produced millions of others, just like me.. Then something must have changed, and if it wasn't me then who, or what changed?
I have a Bible, The U. S. Constitution, The U.S. Declaration Of Independence, and The Bill Of Rights.. If those documents have changed, I plead GUILTY! .
Sadly I’m feeling less patriotic these days.
Interesting that he was so wrong.. The people only remembered the day it was published, not the day it was adopted.. LOL
Don’t fear, we have survived worse than these despots, although I’ll get them this, not much worse.. ugh
Actually, the document is dated July 4.
A bit early. but then blog pimping knows no boundaries
Thats what I meant, Published = printed..
Sorry, I have no blog.. Nice try.. I’ve been around a long, long time, and for sure, I have no need for publicity.. Happy 4th jerk
Live Free or die.
Thank you Carlo and a Happy Independence Day to you.
Thank you mojo, to you and yours.. Happy Independence Day..
Happy 2nd to you too
Happy DEPENDENCE Day!
