We Have No Reason To Celebrate

I think the United States of America should no longer celebrate the Fourth of July.

Yes, I said it. I'm not taking it back. The United States of America should no longer celebrate the Fourth of July.

The Fourth of July is a celebration of Freedom. The Fourth of July is a celebration of Limited Government. The Fourth of July is a celebration of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. It's a time to celebrate Independence from foreign powers. It's the time to reflect on what makes America American.

Well, since none of these values are apparent in today's society, I think we should just turn the Fourth of July into the fourth of July. We should forget about the hamburgers and the fireworks. We should forget about the block parties and taking the day off from work. It might as well be another day since America is becoming just another place, thanks to the Authoritarian Left.

We have the federal "government" making ordinary citizens jump through hoops to buy a gun to defend their families, while allowing gun purchases to be made by Mexican drug lords without hassle. We have a federal "government" that wants to ORDER you to buy health insurance. We have a federal "government" that wants to decide what lightbulbs you should use. We have a federal "government" that wants to decide how much water your toilet uses after you take a Democrat. We have a federal "government" that thinks groping children, nuns, and elderly leukemia patients is vital to national security. We have a federal "government" that allows rogue agencies like the EPA to make rules and regulations that carry the same weight as laws. We have a federal "government" that has frittered away our sovereignty with its incomprehensible debt. We have a federal "government" that allowed itself to be ordered by the UN, EU, and Arab League to go to war to make sure al-Qaeda takes over Libya. We have a federal "government" that thinks it has the right to decide that your neighbor deserves some of your paycheck more than you do. If I go any further, I think I might off myself. (Safety first!)

Call me crazy and off meds, but I don't think any of the above should be celebrated. It would be an exercise in Orwellian parody to do so.

Folks, the only way to reverse this trend is by electing Conservatives. Moderates won't get the job done. Cooperation with the Authoritarian Left won't get it done. The only thing that will save the Republic is a return to its Constitutional, Judeo-Christian, and Rugged Individualist values. We need to elect individuals who will stand up to the bougerois socialists in the media and in Hollywood with an extended middle finger. What we need is individuals who live and breathe the Constitution, not fingersniffers who believe in a "living and breathing" Constitution. In other words, we need the exact opposite of what we have now.

God help us all.
