Freedom is dead. I really don't feel like celebrating the 4th next week. To me, it's become a hollow joke.

No, Sir. We can not keep it a Republic.
At least it was a glorious run for some > 200 years.
“Freedom is dead. I really don’t feel like celebrating the 4th next week. To me, it’s become a hollow joke.”
I agree. In fact I just had an exchange with the 1 democrat remaining in my group of friends and she wished us all a “happy 4th of July.”
I replied to all with, “I agree, it is no longer independence day, just the 4th.”
She replied, “Smart ass CSM, you don’t hold the market on patriotism.”
I replied, “It is now precedent that we can be taxed for INACTIVITY. We are no longer an independent people.”
I find it disgusting that anyone could claim this legislation was “patriotic.” Personally, I am angry that I made any sacrifice in my life to protect our freedoms when all it took was a black robe to steal them anyway. I am very angry and depressed, almost more so than after 9-11. Maybe more so......I am trying to decide between foreign enemies and domestic enemies.
