The Fourth of July!!

[CoinCrusader42]

I sincerely hope that all KOTCT members are proud of their homeland, and believe it's the best country in the world.

As our annual July 4 celebration nears, I am reminded of how fortunate I am to have been born, and live in the United States.

There are many things I am unhappy with: Do-nothing administration and Congress, open borders, over-the-top taxes, a war(s) we shouldn't be involved in, out-sourcing of jobs, and far too many politicians interested only in power rather than "serving" the people.

That said, what a wonderful country this is!  Many places in the world would lock up, or shoot, people who protest.  We are an extremely generous country, perhaps too much so.  We are a patriotic country in which most citizens are proud of the flag and what it represents.  We are a beautiful country, with most every kind of geography imaginable.  We have a tremendous history.  How might things be different if the U.S. had not stepped into WWI and WWII?

I could ramble on, but would just like to say I am happy to be a United States citizen.  This country is the greatest in the world!!

Have a great day Gary but don't forget the other 'nationals'
My date is January 26th.
My country is also one of the 'greatest on earth'.

Normally I would say that we should drag all our politicians out into the  parking lot today and strangle them. And the new 4th of July henceforth known as  Daniel Shay  appreciation day.  But I don't want to spoil the occasion so I won't say that. 

Happy 4th everyone!

Happy 4th of July!  Thanks for the reminder.  I've bee away from the US for so long now that I don't even think about the holidays anymore.  Time to call my folks today!

[AdamL]

We do live in a great country, which is why this is one of my favorite holidays. I hope everyone enjoys it as much as I know my family and I will.

On a side note, I was at a pro baseball game last night. During the national anthem some guy a few seats down was singing along in a stupid voice, like he was mocking it or something. I thought about throwing my beer in his face, but the damn thing cost $8.75!

I was playing Whitney Houston's Star Spangled Banner today--the one she sang at the Super Bowl back in the 90's. No one can sing it as good as she did.

She WAS a beautiful person, and awesome singer until she hooked up with bad boy Bobby Brown.  Now she is a trainwreck.  I sure hope she can learn from her Auntie Aretha and get back on track.

I see what you mean..

[AdamL]

Wow.

[Muckeye]

Who'e Bobby Brown??
Who cares.

I think he played third base for Nantucket in the old Three-I League.

[Triggersmob]

Who's on third base?
No! Who's on first base.

OK let's not get started on that.
It was a great bit of comedy though.
