HAPPY JULY 4th!
It is the Fourth of July! A time to celebrate the freedom and just awsomness of this country. I am proud to be American. I know that in this country we have more opportunities and freedoms than in any other country.
Believe it or not there are people in this country who say there is nothing in this country to be proud of! It is scary. How can you live in this country, and not be proud of it? I can understand if you are not happy with the government or our president etc, but how is it possible somone could have no pride in their home?
The comments by one blogger I saw was along the lines that there is nothing to be proud of, it is just a hunk of rock, a place full of comumer hungry whores or my favorite reason not to be proud of this country is that we are less free than under Bush.
Really? How do you buy this? How can you live here and not be proud? A hunk of rock? Nothing to be proud of? This is sad. How do Americans buy into this rhetoric? Especially that there is no reason to be proud of this country because of our president.
I am not terribly happy with our President but how can I not be happy with my country because of my leaders? Do we quit a sport team because the coach is a jerk? NO! We are Americans. WE DONT QUIT!
This country is great because we exist because a bunch of farmers stood up for thier ideals and beliefs to the worlds strongest power at the time. I am proud to be Americans because a rag tag group of militas defeated the world superpower. We are a country that is declared our Independance not because of money, power but for freedom and liberty!
We have never quit! You think it just lucky that America the nation of freedoms is the nation to be the first to fly in the air and to the moon. I do not think it a coincidence that our freedom has nothing to do with our success. Yes we like any other nation has problems but that is a reason to be proud because WE CAN CHANGE IT!
July 4th is the day I celebrate the freedom and rights. I salute every civil servent from the local police to our national soldiers. I give thanks to god that I was fortunate enough to be born to this country. I am proud to be American.
