Silly me - all this time, I’d thought it was about ‘inalienable rights’....

He has no idea what Independence Day is all about...so he, and his teleprompter staff, make things up...he reads it, the MSM media eats it up...and puts it on radio sound bites every hour on the hour...I know, I listen to the ‘news’ at the top of the hour and, there he is, every time, for the masses to bow down to...

If Obama cared about the modern legal version of voter’s rights, surely he should get exercised about the Black Panthers outrage in Philly? I mean, it’s not as if he had to cheat to get into office and needs to cheat to stay there? Is it?

Somebody ought to tell Obama that Independence Day is about the American Revolution and fighting oppression from the British monarchy.

He has no idea what Independence Day is

Last week he practically deemed the Statue of Liberty to be the Statue of Immigration. The Left just make things up as it suits them.

It will soon be about our freedom to listen to the loudspeakers on every street corner blaring hypocrisy and DoubleSpeak from THE WON 24/7/365.

It’s about the fight against another time that government tried to be all in all. About taxes and control.

Men who would have LOST all that property and wealth (and their lives) if the grand experiment and revolution had failed.
