Freedom to not celebrate diversity.

Not allowed.

Have you ever seen Ali on the plane in Zaire? He was so excited to be on a plane with black pilots.

I wish he were lucid today, so we could get some comments from him about the current state of Zaire (sorry, the name was changed back to Congo).

“NPR just can’t accept their irrelevancy; they have to try and gin up hate and discontent. Reminds one of the One.”

William H. Lamar IV can’t accept his irrelevance either.

To me, the flag represents the founding principles, not the idiots running the place at the moment or the sad results they produce.

Zinn’s revisionist historical accounts have succeeded through indoctrination in our schools and counter cultural community...

We can thank the purveyors of this false historical account(s) from people like Alinsky and his co-conspirators/protégés like Ayers, Clinton (Hillary), and other notable liberal/Fabian Socialists...

A noble sentiment from a different time; libs can;t have it both ways. My whole life libs have preached civil disobedience, racial strife, and distrusst of government. They shouldn’t be shocked that those sentiments prevail even when their token is in office.

While watching a World Cup game last week, my wife was annoyed that my sons didn’t know the national anthem. I thought it was amusing, especially since she hasn’t bothered to take American citizenship (she is a “replacement American” imported decades ago). These noble concepts of patriotism died when the underlying beliefs were marginalized; now we pay our way (and then some) to live here, but that’s about the extent of it. Flame away; the country is reaping what it has sown.

These people need to see Dinesh D'Souza's movie, "America." It's addressed to the perpetually aggrieved crowd. D'Souza takes the Left's current Great Five Criticisms of America and demolishes them, in an easy-going, direct and stylish way.

Send a DVD to a leftist friend of family member. No return address required. 8-)

If it’s that bad then friggin’ move. There’s nobody holding a gun to his head making him stay here and collect welfare while he sits around on his ass complaining bout everything.

“This may be the most depressing July, 4th ever.”

Yes, the economic death spiral has led to a string of “most depressing (insert occasions)” ever.

Incredible that Obama won re-election with these conditions; the media did a masterful job of convincing Americans that the feces they were being fed was actually caviar.

Of course these folks are free to not celebrate the 4th. Just as atheists are free to not celebrate Christmas. In both cases, I think the non-patriots and the atheists should prove their sincerity to their cause by going to work at their jobs instead of taking those days off and allowing the rest of us to enjoy these holidays without their complaining. Somehow, I don’t think they’ll take up my suggestion.

If they don’t like America, that’s fine. They’re entitled to their opinion.

They’re welcome to leave at any time. I’ll even help them pack.

"How can I celebrate liberty with bondage — economic bondage, educational bondage, political bondage, health care bondage, and religious bondage — all around me?

You don't. You celebrate the founding of the United States of America.

What would this world be like without America?

I hope you will make a good use of it.

If you do not, I shall repent in Heaven that I ever took half the pains to preserve it."

...NPR considers the Witnesses to be as stupid as anyone else who takes their religion seriously.

But they'll only say so if the religion in question does not include the sacrament of beheading unreformed Infidels.
