Happy Independence Day

02:20:41 pm, Categories: Had to post it

Finally, the first Fascist-Free Fourth of the last decade.

We have so yearned to celebrate genuine independence, but during the Eight Years of Evil we found celebrating freedom to be a little difficult.
It’s not easy to feel free with a dictatorship where an elected government should be.
With vote fraud, Mullahs in the White House,
NSA/AT&T/Quest/Verison spying on average Americans and other such treasonous activity perpetrated by our own un-elected officials, feeling free becomes wishful thinking, not fact of life in America.

So today we are happy to wish all real Americans a very happy Independence Day.

Whew, that felt good.

Bush Jr. may have been our worst president yet, but do you really think we've regained any lost freedoms since Jan 21?

Hello, Jason.

It's more a feeling of certain freedoms no longer being in immediate jeopardy. I'm now confident that NSA spying is confined to actual potential treats and not a blanket intrusion on the privacy of all of us.
I'm now confident that the present administration is not exposing our covert operatives. I'm now confident that law is not being written based on religious fundamentalist doctrine.

There are still many freedoms we should be enjoying that we do not. Hopefully, if Obama stops trying to be the pragmatist and just gets it done, we'll see at least some of those freedoms.
If he's successful as a President, the prospects of electing a more progressive President after him will be good.

I may not have the freedom to smoke weed, for instance, that I should have (yet). But I do feel my business is no longer in danger of the Bush/Ashcroft glass-smashing parties that we saw during operation pipe dreams.

The freedoms we lack will come in time as long as we fight hard to prevent those who only wish to return to the past from gaining positions of power.
Hopefully the lessons of the BushCo era won't be forgotten as quickly as the lessons from the Nixon era were.

Regards,
