The best line in the musical Hamiton is "What are the odds the gods put us on this spot?"

We got to start from scratch and did not have to overcome the centuries of brutal rule by elites.

Jefferson had his flaws but nobody said it better than this:

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

Sorry Baron, but the only defining date to a Trump voter is January 6th.

July 4th celebrates America’s principles and values. Donald Trump is the antithesis.

Be grateful that America’s greatness and resilience will tolerate you and other Trump supporters.

Happy 250th.

Yes, Trump won in 2024. That’s democracy. Hence, my comment about America finding its way home.

Contrast 2020. Trump lost to Biden. That’s democracy. Except not for Trump. Not for the Republicans. Not for Baron. January 6th was the result, orchestrated by Trump.
The most shameful day in modern US history.

"Communism is a mortal threat to American liberty, Communism is the enemy of free people everywhere. Everywhere in the world. It never works.”
“It's the enemy of the Constitution. Above all, it's the enemy of July 4, 1776.
Communism is the exact opposite of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
It's death, tyranny and the pursuit of evil, and it has killed 100 million people just in the last century alone.
You can be loyal to Karl Marx, or you can be loyal to America.
You can be a communist, or you can be a patriot, you cannot be both.
........
As for those who peddle Marxist lies about our heritage, tell our children that we live on stolen land, or that our heroes were oppressors, they're doing something much worse than slandering our past, they are slandering and attacking our future.
We must never forget there is no American freedom without American culture, and there is no American founding without the American people.
America will never be a communist country,"

with this July 4th. Not Once did anyone pay any attention to who was President during our celebrations...Look at all the performers who gladly signed up to join in with the America 250 celebration...only to find out that it was a Partisan Political Rally for Trump, and could not in good conscience take part. You seem to have missed that news item showing how DJT is the one who ruined this year's parade.

All throughout the country we'll celebrate the creation of this incredible nation the way we always have...in spite of an Off-The-Charts Malignant Narcissist's Need for Constant Gratification.

Want. I guess there is agreement from the mod on these topics and that’s why they stay up. Lots of posts with no substance and others just flat out attacking Republicans.

Take a good posts like Barons and use it as an opportunity to take another shot. Nothing to see here, move along.


I hold the record for most deleted posts. +131. Certain posters must be protected!

As for Democratic Socialists...they highlight the gross inequities existing in our society and propose solutions to them, while today's Laissez-Faire GOP seeks to expand those gaps. As I've noted before, even FDR was accused of being a "Socialist", and some called him a "Communist" for his "New Deal" improvements...which benefit ALL Americans...including MAGAs.

You're literally 'Jumping the Shark' over this...not unexpected when the vast majority of Americans are not at all happy with what Trumpism is doing to their lives and the GOP has nothing better to offer.
