Independence Day

Tomorrow is the 4'th of July, American Independence Day, and every year, that seems more important to me, and also more under attack.  I watched for eight long years as an evil infiltrator tried to destroy this great nation, and people responded by really pushing their show if independence.  I also saw places shut down celebrations, for no solid reason, when said places were known to be run by "less than conservative" local governments.  A college-town celebration we attended many times was just gone from one year to the next, no reason, no explanation.  People attended, when it was running, and they had good music from a local group, playing patriotic songs, some nice areas set up for kids, plenty of vendors, and a pretty decent fireworks display.  Never a safety issue did we see, just families setting up in the nice green grass, enjoying the day, celebrating their freedom.  Then, gone.  After that we had to drive a little, for a small town celebration not too far away, that also tends to have a good show, and a carnival.  This year, who knows if anyone will do anything?  I know one long-running event in our area was cancelled back in April, before anyone could even know how things would look in July.  That's not about safety; that's about stopping celebrations of our independence!!  This particular event always included concerts, with big-name bands,some tribute bands, various animal shows, and a carnival, along with lots of food and item vendors, all set up for several days.  Gone. The other event, the one we attended some years, also "rescheduled". 

I sincerely hope that a lot of people are furious about this, and refuse to allow out celebrations to be eliminated.  We are doing what we've done for a few years, to avoid crowds, and having our own celebration.  Cookout, a couple of people over, and fireworks.  Of course, there are locations where people aren't allowed to even possess fireworks, much less set them off, so those folks have what, this year?  They are "free"to sit at home, hearing news reports about rioters allowed to do whatever they want, destroy monuments and statues, loot businesses, attack innocent bystanders, and at the same timealso be told they can't celebrate the 4'th of July, because, "VIRUS1!!"  Even the president is under attack, being accused of promoting "white supremacy" for planning to celebrate at Mount Rushmore, and also for trying to protect our historical monuments and statues. 

Make no mistake; the goal of these riots, the targeting of statues, the cries of "RACISM!!" are all about eliminating this free nation, eliminating all freedom everywhere.  We cannot allow this.  We have to stand, to gather together and show that we still value our independence, and will not permit fascist globalists to take it from us.  Not for any reason, and certainly nor for faux outrage or a planned "pandemic".

So, if you have plans for tomorrow, to celebrate, keep them!  Invite others, make some noise, shoot off some fireworks, gather together, and be sure to talk about it on social media, so the world knows that Americans still cherish our freedom!!  Anyone in the public service, police or firefighters, if people aren't actually doing something dangerous, leave them be.  Don't allow yourself to be a tool of fascism.  Those who like quiet, be tolerant of your neighbors who want to be a little noisy tomorrow night, in celebration of the greatest country this word has ever known.  If we don't stand for our freedom, we will lose it.
