I have been receiving very kind and good hearted “Happy Independence Day” sentiments today.
They are coming from the most amazing Americans that love the USA
and feel like sharing the sentiment is appropriate. I know they all come
from the heart! So they are given the utmost respect.
However, how can we even consider celebrating independence
day from tyranny when this government is secretly spying on all of us
without probable cause and without our permission?
This goes against everything Independence from the tyranny of King George stood for. What are we celebrating?
Personally, I won’t be having a party to celebrate freedom from
tyranny. There will be NO BBQ chicken or steak. Instead, I am holding a
vigil with family and friends. And I hope it does NOT become a long
standing tradition.
Like you, I love the USA!
