Not really much to celebrate this 4th. This country is more in the toilet than ever before. I’ll gladly take the free holiday though.

Those would be the native Americans, which unfortunately my European ancestors wiped out; to claim land for settlers.

Dont forget to applaud the troops that stand guard over the foreign Poppy fields, and the DEA, who are all 'doing their jobs' so US can continue to wage the drug war, without them the flow of drugs would be cut off or stopped (or legalized).

the institution of the republican form of government, where all men have Creator endowed rights that governments are instituted to secure, not tax, not regulate nor infringe.
And only with the consent of the governed may government do more than secure that endowment.

Oh stop! No one was native to this country/continent back then. All of our ancestors migrated here just as the Amerindians did. They were just as brutal as the Europeans were and even warred amongst themselves. Throughout history wars have been fought and lands have exchanged hands. There was no land ownership back then nor any immigration laws. You sound just like another self-hating white person over a past you weren't even a part of. Why should anyone feel guilty about what their ancestors did or didn't do? We are only responsible for our own behavior. As for me my ancestors didn't even come here till the early 1900's.


FYI, the Amerindians are alive and well today and are full fledged U.S. citizens.


God Bless America!
