This 4th of July brings somethings to mind.....

Wednesday is the 4th of July. I enjoy the 4th, BBQ, Beer, Fireworks & Family. Sounds kinda corny but, I like to think what it must have been like for our forefathers trying to make laws, set guidelines and be fair to all people. If they were alive today I honestly believe they would be ashamed of us and what we have done to ourselves and our country.

For months they argued, discussed and at times threw punches at each other in order to create by-laws to lead our country. They were hot, tired and drank warm ale everyday for months trying to create a leadership of fairness.

Despite everything they did it!!! They hammered out and worked around their dislike of each other and they gave us guidelines. They sweated, cussed, wrote and erased laws that everyone could live by. They weren't politically correct. They were fair. I honestly believe that had we left The United States Constitution alone and actually read The Declaration of Independence without adding our own interpretation America would certainly be a whole lot better place.


Don't get me wrong. I am proud to be an American. But, I am totally exhausted by all the "special" interest groups, political correctness, whining about being treated unfairly or not given the same opportunities as everyone else.

In my opinion? (Like assholes everyone has one):

If anyone has any room to bitch about their life and what happened to them its the American Indian! After that everything else is bullshit! I'm Irish, my great grandmother was an indentured servant, she was raped by her "master" and there the lineage began.

I am a fisherman/a girl/woman/Mrs./Ms./baby boomer/redneck and wife I don't care, Just care enough to call me.

I work hard for what I have. You should too.

Life isn't fair....get over it.

The government owes you nothing!

I shouldn't have to "press one" for English.

Everyone should get the same education, what you do with it is your responsibility.

It DOES take a village to raise a child!

Do unto other others as you want done unto you!!!

If The United States Constitution and the Declaration of Independence were written by and for political correctness, special interest groups it would not contain two of my favorite passages:

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.


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.--


Happy Fourth of July!!!! Be safe
