"Many of the people who died to create and defend this country never had it as good as I do. I never forget that."

I believe you have confused liberty with wealth. And the patriot (and apparently brewer, or is that just a lie perpetrated by the beer company?) Sam Adams distinguished between the two:

"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chain be set lightly upon you and may posterity forget ye were our countrymen."

You may have it better, but they would not have tolerated what you crouch down to.

I don't complain for satisfaction. I state what I believe to be true. In any case, our standard of living relative to any other country in the world has nothing to do with the state of liberty in the US.

I don't have anything confused.... I know that I am dang lucky and blessed to live here.... Could things be better? - Yes, almost anything done by man could be done better. So I follow people with good ideas.... but never people who tell me how miserable I should be.... I'm funny that way.

"MOST AMERICANS SHOULD BE ASHAMED TO CELEBRATE THE FOURTH" *Sucks* as an inspiration.

You guys are as cranky as the far left, using July 4th to moan about your 'ideal"....suck it up and be grateful for what do have, not for what you wish you had.

You libertarian/true conservatives(whatever) malcontents are the dregs....
