Fourth of July...

Not just another one of those "drinkin' holidays" folks! This is a day we need to be celebrating our country and celebrating being AMERICAN. Being proud to BE an American. It is not some foreign country pride day, it is not some reason to go out and bring light to something or someone that yada yada yada somewhere else. No. This is a day about THIS country and its people. Everyone else has a day or month to celebrate being something "different" in a country where IT'S ALLOWED because this is America. The least people can do, LIVING IN THIS COUNTRY, is embrace that fact, especially when they claim to be something other than American. Stop and think about this for a moment. I'm not saying, "don't take pride in being who you are." I'm not saying "Don't be proud of your heritage." I am saying that this is a day about you being able to do that without fear of being stoned to death in the streets or punished in some other way. Me? I will say, "Proud to be American!" EVERY day and be all "YAY AMERICA! GOD BLESS THE U.S.A.!" Happy Fourth of July!
