Happy Fourth of July

I sometimes feel that I may be the only real Republican in the United States. We seem to be talking the talk in this country but alas we need to really walk.
We talk about liberty and the invidual, yet Americans behave as if freedom and liberty are french. No one wants to talk about true Republican values, no one wants to ruffle any feathers. Our journalists behave as if they are pod people- indeed even the New York Times cannot adequately defend itself and yes Republicans do read the Times.
We ignore proof of filthy politics and lying politicians, even under the glare of multiple video footage. We refuse to add 2+3 much less think critically, but at least we have our president and Tony Snow to calm us down, to get us back on track, to tell us what really matters. And by the way- what matters is not the economy, and the fact that the FEDS will not be able to fix it, and the debt/wealth through consumerism
and let's not forget The post 9-11 call to "charge"!!!!!
(forget the problems people just keep shopping)
Well even those of us who thought that that was silly are paying for that garbage, but hey I am just ranting............

Our President has a few words:

"...liberty is God's gift to humanity, the birthright of every
individual. The American creed remains powerful today because it represents the
universal hope of all mankind.
We are winning the war against enemies of freedom, yet more work
remains.
We will prevail in this noble mission. Liberty has the power to turn
hatred into hope."

"America is a force for good in the world,and the compassionate spirit of
America remains a living faith. Drawing on the courage of our Founding Fathers
and the resolve of our citizens, we willingly embrace the challenges before
us." President George Bush
