Aww,..come on,...Americans threw off the yoke of tyranny when we defeated the British. Surely we can live long enough to survive the effects of this little tyrant, his team of czars, and their agenda to ruin this country.

No,he won't cancel cookouts. He would encourage everyone to burn charcoal to get the carbon tax flowing. Al Gore needs to make some cash, someone's got to pay for that mansion

I'll be thinking about that thankfully we are not ruled by a monarchy anymore and we can vote people out of office when they screw up.

What, if anything, will you be thinking about on the 4th of July?

I'll be mulling over the fact that the United States has owed China, India, Russia ... among others, 16+ trillion dollars since at least 2006.

I'll be looking at how these other nations are slowly moving away from the dollar.

I'll be thinking about how infatuated the Fed is with all of that green wallpaper they've been making over these passed months.

I'll be wondering why less than 25% of all of the stimulus money approved since Bush has been paid out while the rest sits over at the Fed doing nothing.

Freedom? ... Sure ... Like a dog tied up in the backyard, we're only as free, as the rope is long, that China has us tied to.

I think it's funny, how we as a nation, will extoll the virtue of our founding fathers on independence day, only to turn around and ignore the very things that made us free in the first place.

We aren't celebrating our independence ... we are celebrating someone elses.

Sure ... I'm extremely proud of what our founding fathers did. It's too bad that we, as a nation, thwarted the good things they did and threw away the very independence that they set out to accomplish.
