Take it how you want it … or carping about the dayum
So what does this day mean to me now that one half of our population hates the celebration. The one that entire political party hates the duly elected President so much that it steals their joy and they loudly proclaim their disdain for those that do wish to celebrate it in an effort to share their discontent. Yet they call that democracy … I think I’ll have none of it.
They can yammer and pul all they want. I am inured to their surly mewlings. I’ll set the banner on the porch today and remember a god who generously set me in the midst of such wealth and comfort. The poorest among us live in such comfort in comparison to the truly poverty stricken in the world.
Does God love me more than them? I think not. But I’ll wager any of them would trade places with me in less time than it takes to say “We hates that Trumpses, we does, my precious!” *gollum!*
Carp away, my grumbling compatriots, if I can call them my compatriots. Maybe prisoners of unwarranted wealth would be a better description of this society of pampered malcontents. Fie on them, I say!
Good morning, and Happy 4th, if you are so inclined.
If not, enjoy a perfectly miserable day …

Well said Rusty, and you have a very good, eye opening point. Happy 4th!

I am so inclined, so Happy 4th to you, too. I don’t always remember to tell my god how grateful I am to be where I am and have what I have, but I try to do it as often as I can and trust he knows it the rest of the time.
I’m disappointed, saddened, and often disgusted by “the other half” yet hopeful some of their idiocy is only youthful innocence. Maybe, someday, enough of them will outgrow it that the country will have a fighting chance. If not, no matter, I’ll be gone.

I would like to believe that they are merely ill informed rather than duped an evil force … maybe it is a mixture of the two …

It is a sad day in many ways that so many spent the time in political carping …

I thank God each morning for giving me one more sunrise and pray for one more sunset.
Happy 4th to you and yours, Rusty. This truly is a day for celebration.

Happy 4th for you too, sweetheart!

I find it sad that even the 4th of July… a holiday ALL Americans should celebrate together… has turned into a political statement. If there’s one time to put that all aside it’s Independence Day.

Agreed …

YES! I come home from my beach trip to find my favorite curmudgeon has posted something here. I think those crickets got to you huh? 😉
I really don’t think it is 50% of the population that hates this country. I think the ones that do, just get more publicity.

That is usually the case …

By the way, I love the title!
