I didn’t celebrate Pride Month. I didn’t celebrate Juneteenth. I didn’t celebrate Black History Month or Women’s History Month or any other history month. I did celebrate Christmas, Thanksgiving, Halloween, Columbus Day, Washington’s Birthday and all the holidays we had back in the good old days. And I will be celebrating the Fourth of July.
The Fourth of July commemorates the War of Independence and the Founding Fathers’ courage and wisdom in creating a new nation and providing it with an enlightened Constitution that provided the framework for living a free life.
Nowadays those Founding Fathers and their Constitution are targets for hate and derision by the Left and anyone else who buys into their whole George Floyd/Black Lives Matter/anti-white campaign. To them the Fourth of July is just a reminder of all the injustice and racism they claim is inherent in America and its history.
Well. good. Let them disown the Fourth categorically and absolutely. Let them reject anyone who celebrates it as a deplorable enemy of all they stand for. That suits me right down to my toes. It makes my enjoyment of the fireworks and the barbecues and the parades that much the sweeter.
Tomorrow my grandchildren will be riding on wagon covered in July 4th posters and other artwork of their design in a parade. The wagon will be pulled by a tractor that their father and uncle will be driving. And when they get to the town common, they’ll listen to music, speeches, poems and other patriotic thoughts that were written centuries ago by Jefferson, Paine and Henry. And I’ll stand on the side of the street and wave to them and applaud their efforts and afterward we’ll celebrate with some more hot dogs and hamburgers and watermelon.
And tomorrow night we’ll watch the local fireworks displays. They won’t be anything too spectacular. They’re not a patch on the ones I used to watch in New York City when I was young. Those were spectacular. But these are just as important. Maybe more so. They represent the local enthusiasm and will to celebrate the things that we believe in. This is us saying we are the United States of America. Anyone who says that this is a racist and evil country is not an American.
He is a parasite growing at the expense of his host. Eventually he hopes to kill off his host and replace him. Right now, we haven’t managed to find the drug that will kill this parasite. So, we have to suffer the symptoms. But we definitely don’t have to pretend that this creature is part of the body. We don’t have to cooperate with its destructive activities or treat it as a friend. Its only goal is our destruction and our only goal is to cut off its blood supply and poison it.
Well, all that is not the result of eating some hamburgers and shooting off some fireworks. But those are the things that give children the message that this is a country worth defending from those who would take away our freedoms and prosperity and replace them with poverty and dependency. So that makes celebrating the Fourth of July a worthwhile and strengthening endeavor. And based on the current propaganda it is also transgressive and defiant. It’s a thumb in the eye of the Biden administration and its “new world order.” After all what do parades, fireworks and barbecues have in common? Well, they all add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. Chew on that Dementia Joe.
