Happy Fourth Of July
Tomorrow is Independence Day. Be a man and show us how much you love what this country stands for. Go downtown with me and BURN THE FLAG!
The Congress is on the way to passing a constitutional amendment to carve out an exception to the 1st amendment. The constitution, bit by bit, is being gutted. Whether it be by judicial fiat, or phony political patriotism, this free nation is melting before our eyes, in the name of security, fairness or "love of country". I leave it to you to name the lazy premise upon which our leaders have wrenched away the liberty the founders established.
What a shame too. I feel we're on a little tugboat waving goodbye to the Statue Of Liberty, as we sail backward into the old world. Say bye bye to China as they outclass us economically and eventually militarily. See there, junior? That's the old continent of Africa. They got smart about half-way through the 21st century and adopted radical, boisterous free markets when they discovered that capitalism had been the unknown ideal the whole time.
And over there, to the left, is Cuba. When the old man died in 2005, the people there threw communism over and went wild for freedom. Real liberty, with newspapers, internet, neat stuff and most of all, the rediscovery of the self. The right to live for one's own sake. Yes, even the Cubans eventually got it. In fact, so many nations, all over the world studied what we Americans used to be; a nation with free markets, private property, freedom of expression and a love of liberty so ardent, that we might have exploded with all that freedom, if we hadn't ripped it to shreds ourselves. You see, we took it all for granted. We thought we were great because we were America! We forgot that we were America because we were free.
So back here in real time, we can watch in wonderment and stupid amazement how we lost it all, or be brave and stand up for liberty.
This is a one time offer. It may not come around again. So tomorrow, show us how much you love our country:
BURN THE FLAG
