So many errors, so many problems across the time and ongoing experiment of America, and so many practicing that disbelief Kossuth feared. Yet, whatever our self-loathing, it comes of the demands our Fathers made upon us. It was a cruel thing, this, to give us freedom and self-government, and we have tried and keep trying to ruin it. It is so demanding, so unrelenting, so thoroughly right that even we today can’t screw up enough to kill it. It guides us, it makes us, and it is us and all that we do. We might see the end in the last or the next election, court decision, regulation, tax, or global event. If we didn’t want 1776 so badly, we wouldn’t care, and for it we carry on the fight, in the ongoing process of making the nation, launched in 1789. For me a saddest day was when little Elian was returned to Castro’s Cuba -- McKinley betrayed, and Lady Liberty lowered her torch. It was just one kid, good friends told me, and his father ought to have him. I’ll remember it always, and cry. But I cry not just for what Elian lost, but for what we could have had in him in the affirmation of America. These are tears of resolve and faith. So, dear Kossuth, we yet believe in our fundamental principles. We stray, yes, but we believe, and we are hard on ourselves for it. Oh glorious Fourth of July, 1776, by which all things of man’s realm are ever since measured.
Tears and Cheers!
Bravo!

You have outdone yourselves, Sisters! This is an awesome, soul-stirring page.
Let's start by noting that our current President's birthday is just two days after Independence Day, July 6!!
My mother grew up on a farm in Nebraska and 4th of July was always the biggest celebration of the year, bigger than Christmas. They had parades, picnics, speeches, games for the kids and so on. My mother always loved the American flag, and I inherited that passion from her.
As a child, I remember the wonderful fireworks displays at the Los Angeles Coliseum. This year, I'll go to Culver City, which has a great celebration and fireworks show.
I work in a large hospital and I love my job. Praise God. More than that, I am devoted to our troops and send letters and packages to our dear deployed soldiers. This 4th of July, more than ever, I feel such pride in our armed forces and in our country.
Ros42 is my very good friend, so be nice to her or else!
GOD BLESS THE U.S.A.!!! GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS!!!

Masterpiece presentation!!!
Gonna be a HOT weekend (102 today). 4th of July Parade on Monday, family get-togethers with BBQ, Hot (cool)tubbing and Slip 'n Sliding.
Maybe throw in a few squirt-gun battles.
Dogs are cowering and underfoot with all the illegal fireworks going off.
Got the Mustang fed and watered and will be heading down to FResno for the rally tonight (top down, of course).
Y'all have a great weekend!
