Freedom to speak our minds.
Freedom to marry who we choose.
Freedom to choose for our own bodies.
Yes, we are a flawed nation. Deeply divided and the gap is widening. But there are very few places in the world where, once every four years, a peaceful coup d’etat, led by the majority, overturns the government.
I’ve lived in another country.
And I choose this one, warts and all.
Happy July 4th. Enjoy your freedoms today.

Well put. Enjoy the holiday. I recommend exercising your freedom to lounge on the couch while encouraging others to exercise their freedom to bring you refreshments and make you as comfortable as possible.
Couldn’t agree more. Thanks for blogging it.
This is just how I feel. There are a lot of problems with this country, but I don’t really want to live anywhere else.
Great post. I definitely take things for granted here, but when I really think about it I am amazed.
Happy 4th of JUly!
And I wish people would realize that freedom really does belong to us all, even when we don’t agree.
AMEN!
I love you, Mrs. Chicken! Happy 4th!
I love our freedom! Have a wonderful holiday weekend!
