HAPPY 250TH BIRTHDAY, AMERICA!
Essential quotes about essential freedoms on our Semiquincentennial
Happy Independence Day!
To celebrate, I have compiled the most powerful quotes about freedom - see if you can spot the fake one.
The energy in DC was incredible this week. We are living in a new golden age. America will prosper for another 250 years as long as we can keep the communists at bay.
Patriots like you make America great. Many have met around the country as part of the Yuri COMRADE network. Hope you and your loved ones have a wonderful 4th of July!

Nice work as always. I posted this comment on another well-written Stack but it applies here as well: Biking around my affluent New England neighborhood this July 4 am, my wife (a naturalized citizen from Scandinavia) was aghast at the lack of American flags. Maybe 1 in 20 houses had a flag or some other patriotic decorations - on our 250th birthday no less. In her country the patriotic decorations overflow every yard and building on every Independence Day. And many of them dislike their leaders, but so what - they love their country - what it stands for and has stood for. But here in deep blue lala land, the folks whose very prosperity was allowed and facilitated by our founders and countless patriots who fought to maintain these ideals over the centuries, scoff at patriotism. Because they *think* they don’t like our president or our “government.” I.e., they are regurgitating and living by the nonsense spoon fed to them by media of all kinds and resonating here in the echo chamber they happily and easily and comfortably live in. They are too mid-witted, too bovine to recognize that the ideals of this country should be celebrated, regardless of how bad their tds is or how much they *think* they disagree with the “current direction” of our country. It’s embarrassing, sad, and as I said to my wife, just another day where my opinion of the general public declines even further. Happy 4th / 250 to the patriots - the rest of you are welcome to exit stage left.
Long Live America !
