Too often these celebrations featured grisly stories from all of our battlegrounds of senseless wars invariably leading to young soldiers sailors marines getting blown to bits in some land you couldn&#8217;t find on a globe for a cause that, in reality, didn\u2019t have a damn thing to do with Freedom, Independence, Our Democracy, God-given Rights or Protecting Our Homeland.<\/p>\n<p>Patriotism and propaganda being what they are and how they play with mind and emotion, got to a point that needs to be put in a stark perspective. The times we&#8217;re living in are not folded into a bigger cliche. They are far more critical and dangerous to these &#8220;American values&#8221; that are now supposed to get you to drop $60+K on a\u00a0 dangerous electric rip-off built on a monstrous lie, then turn over the balance of our rights to people you wouldn&#8217;t allow pet your golden retriever.<\/p>\n<p>So&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, and people of all sexes, especially those of you still struggling with correctly differentiating the distinction between your naturally provided (mumph*) and the biological impossibility that has suddenly topped your socially embarrassing wish list with the notorious exception of Bud Light too-too wearers in clown make-up who never heard \u201cmoderation\u201d, \u201cnormalcy\u201d or \u201cmodesty\u201d used in the same lifetime. The current administration of proven liars, public pedophiles, thieves, crooks, grifters, fraudsters and cocaine snorters have dictated to the otherwise clear-thinking, mumph* who actually name names, places, terminology, nature&#8217;s body parts and personal private preferences may not be mentioned in private or public company for fear of offending the offenders, those who refuse to choose a wardrobe suitable for wearing in front of children. But haven&#8217;t cha heard? They&#8217;re coming for that 6 yr old. What if she&#8217;s one of yours?<\/p>\n<p>The offending of the majority is of no concern. These orders, edicts, pending legislation, regulation, and unconstitutional directives come from the office of a senile speech-stuttering professional gasbag who coddles a whore hoping, cocaine snorter, unregistered foreign agent who parlayed the old fart&#8217;s name, rolled America and the Rule of law in the dung heap of the Biden Family larceny while studiously denying the existence of a granddaughter who doesn&#8217;t get a fireplace stocking at Christmas \u2013 but the family dog does &#8211; all the while fondling little girls half her age not to mention the history of showers taken with a subsequently traumatized daughter. And you&#8217;re gonna vote for this scum? Are these our celebrated American standards?<\/p>\n<p>People have seen recent irrefutable evidence from the comfort of their own Barcoloungers only be referred to as Mumph or suffer the shame and consequences of having a keen eye for the obvious.<\/p>\n<p>Those who savored the celebratory cry Happy Independence Day \u2013 just what is it you&#8217;re so happy about? Fireworks? Private ownership remains mostly illegal in the Land of the Free. Is that how you display the thrill of independence? &#8216;Gimme a sparkler, there my man!&#8217; How about the nationally televised contest of hot dog gluttony because nothing says Freedom quite like the close-ups of creating another ton of self-imposed morbid obesity on color TV \u2013 for which you will be body-shamed once you wipe the yellow mustard off your spiffy new Sketchers.<\/p>\n<p>But wait! That&#8217;s Independence! That\u2019s Freedom! Yep \u2013 lotta fine young men with unrealized futures are thrilled to have sacrificed their lives in indentured servitude of the local draft board or zippy promises of free college and medical care just for signing up to protect our God-given freedoms from some Middle East dictator with weird name and funny hat <em>who we were selling the same bombs used to create more subterranean residents of Arlington. <\/em>So they&#8217;re dead and so are the still lingering promises. Ask someone in the care of the VA<\/p>\n<p>But you memorized the lyrics to an Alan Greenwood song that, if sung loudly enough before the kickoff, might have had the same cleansing effect the Clearasil a bunch of those dead kids were starting to use. Of course, that stuff never penetrated to the moral bone of corn-cob-sucking generals who ran Hollywood-produced film clips of their many happy returns for the movie theater news crowd. But its the Freedom! Land of, Home of \u2013 really?<\/p>\n<p>1st Amendment? . 3rd, 4rth 5th, 6th, 7th 9th 10th?
