It appears from the preview at http://www.foxnews.com/ that this show may have run last night at the same time. I have not seen any reference to it anywhere, so I thought I'd alert those who might be interested in viewing it.

In less than two centuries she grew into a major super power and gave the world that begs for freedom and liberty a beacon of hope. It never was a perfect country, but one that sought to be the very best that it could be. She had spirit and believed in the innate desire of humans to be free to grow and build on their dreams. Poor from all over flocked to her shores to take part in the dream...

I wonder if this is the last Independence Day we’ll see America in any way like she used to be. Melodramatic though it may be, such a thought is frighteningly possible. Barack Obama and the statists in Congress and the judiciary are forming an intrusive government that is several orders of magnitude beyond anything we have yet known. How many Americans know that in the name of Al Gore’s lucrative (to him) folly, they won’t be able to sell their house without the government’s environmental stamp of approval?

I now fear that this may be coming to an end, and the last time we will be celebrating our freedom and independence without feeling like hypocrites.
