Independence Day




Happy Independence day! How many people in the USA today even know (or care) what July 4th is all about? When will they change the name to hide the true meaning of the holiday? How long before Independence Day becomes a victim to political correctness, ethnic diversity or some other form of socialist cleansing? The July 4th holiday, celebrating our independence from an oppressive foreign power many years ago, follows the recent news story of a 95 year old, wheel chair ridden, woman being patted down by the TSA for potentially hiding explosives in her Depends™. Rotten terrorist grandmothers, I hate them the most. This July 4th holiday also follows the news that the Office of Veterans Affairs (VA) has prohibited the use of the words God, Jesus, etc in the funeral services of fallen veterans or to console their loved ones, because they are too overtly religious. These are the men who died for religious freedom as much as any other right.

Statistics say that 18 veterans per day are committing suicide but we are too fixated on the Casey Anthony trial to even notice. Veterans of all ages and wars are among the highest unemployed. Thousands are sleeping in boxes or shelters across our “GREAT” nation, but who cares? Hey did you see the news about Hillary and Lady GaGa? Now that’s newsworthy. And speaking of Hillary, did you know she is working arm in arm with the globalists and the UN to pass a treaty that will annul our constitutionally guaranteed right to keep and bear arms? Meanwhile, flashing back to the real news: What would Lady Diana look like if she were still alive today? Really, that’s news worth spending air time on?
I hope that you sleep better at nights than I do because I fear that by next year Independence itself may be prohibited as being too discriminatory or too American. Aren’t you ashamed that you live in freedom while others live under tyranny? Some people in our government think you should feel that way. I also hope that you remember those who have fought and died for your freedom. Say a prayer for them, say God Bless them! If you see a man or woman in a military uniform, thank them for their service. Fly your flag this holiday and cherish your independence while you still have it, or what little bit is left of it.
