Personally I’m not celebrating. It’s a sad day. The country is fading fast.
I agree with that, it would be silly to celebrate something that doesn’t currently exist, namely a country based on Christian values and the Constitution.
No patriotic displays for me either, as long as the thief and da ho still squat in our House. No flag in front of the house.
I will celebrate the 4th quietly...more in a sad remembrance and curse what has happened.
It’s all about the character of the people. John Adams famously said that, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” Yet how many “conservatives” over the years have focused their political energies only on temporal issues like marginal tax rates, refusing to touch what they referred to as “social issues?”
Every time a politician on the right shied away from discussing issues like abortion, or “gay rights”, or “transgenderism”, to name just a few, they were themselves driving another nail into America’s coffin. They were guaranteeing the “triumph of evil”, to paraphrase Edmund Burke, by simply refusing to oppose it. And my strong suspicion is that many on the right blew off the notion of addressing “social issues” because they themselves were guilty of dabbling in many of the same sins. Better not to even look in that closet and just go on campaigning on tax rates and regulation.
Problem is, once the people have become thoroughly morally corrupt, you lose everything, including the “kitchen table” issues.
I’ll be working(I volunteered), but if I wasn’t working, I’d celebrate it. I like to think of the situation like “The Grinch who stole Christmas.” If we don’t celebrate Independence day, then the left has won.
It's my 4th. F'm.
