It's 8 PM, July 4, and I just sat through the second celebration of America, the first one yesterday at Mt Rushmore.

I want an answer from someone.

Lee Greenwood put together a phenomenal version of his classic "God Bless The USA" and not ONCE have I seen presidential recognition of probably a more familiar set of lyrics throughout YOUNG America than the traditional National Anthem.

Today, I went down to IndependinceHall to dedicate my lifeblood to the USA, and to protect it from the forces of the USSA.

Irving Berlin's birth name: "Israel".

Which is to say that Israel blessed America saying, "God Bless America".

You can't make this stuff up.

Happy Independence Day, fellow Americans!
