Happy Independence Day

Now I will say this: Yes, these are hard times. But hard times have always existed. Yes, our country has failed to live up to its ideals at times... Which is why we need to work all the harder for them to be reality.

But today? We celebrate freedom. We celebrate the city on the hill. We celebrate the courage to tell a bunch of greedy overbearing government officials to shove it.

We embrace the good that we seek to be.

And we learn from the bad to avoid such mistakes in the future.

Celebrate America.

And let yourself not be troubled. For these celebrations remind us why we fight and live.

Happy Fourth of July.

Agreed, I will NEVER apologize for loving this country. Flaws and all.

And if anyone doesn't want to live here, who think this is a horrible place...

...you're free to leave.
