OH MY GOD!!!! Did you hear the news? They are coming!!!
Who is coming?
The government! They are coming to take away your guns!
WHAT?!?!?!?!
Yes, they are coming to take away your guns, so they say. Don’t know who really is saying it, but everyone keeps repeating it. Makes you wonder though, why do they want to take away your second amendment “The right to bear arms”. Never know though, some small Indian tribe might come up and endanger your family. Heaven forbid that local militia calls you to arms when the British are coming. You must defend yourself from them too!
I will be damned if I am going to give up my 2nd amendment right to bear arms so I can just shoot people when they trespass on my property, or heaven forbid state that health care is not a right!
Wait, health care is not a right? I would think that the richest industrialized nation would consider basic needs like health care would be a right, and not a luxury, but I guess holding a weapon that could kill someone is. So I must ask.
Where are our priorities?
I got up real early that morning. I was all set to have my annual 4th of July Bar-B-Que. All I had left to do was go buy everything.
As soon as I got up from a good nights sleep, I instantly went into the kitchen and made myself a pot of good Columbian coffee and let the dogs out.
After that I got in my car – foreign of course
Drove to the gas station- I am still very dependent on foreign oil
Drove to Wal-Mart – where they import everything from China
Bought all my meat there to – imported from New Zealand
Bought a new grill – Made in Mexico
Bought all the vegetables and fruit – imported from Brazil
I also bought some legal fireworks – made in Taiwan
When I got home, I turned on my TV – made in Korea
Sat in the chair – made in Sweden
And then drank some beer – imported from Germany.
Now this might be a little satire to some, but if you think about it, where is our independence? Who are we really independent from? I think we DEPEND more on foreign nations than we care to believe.
I do not remember reading anywhere in the United States history where we became the greatest nation to ever exist on this Earth that we needed to depend on foreign nations for anything?
America was built on hard labor, unity, and a proud people who loved their country and had a drive to be and do better. This country did not lead the world in development and advancement through the cheap hard work from our foreign counterparts. This country did not need globalization to build a strong middle class to lead the world in manufacturing.
So I ask you – how did you spend your Dependence Day?
Now, for what really happened:
I woke up and drank some real Florida orange juice!
Went to my BMX bike – Made in America!
I peddled to the local Farmers Market – Everything grown in America!
Lit up my Weber grill – Made in America!
And enjoyed my countries 233rd birthday!!!
Now that’s an INDEPENDENCE DAY!
