OUR COUNTRY'S ANNIVERSARY OF OUR INDEPENDENCE FROM BRITAIN

This picture was taken by Mike at Mike's America. I stole it! Thanks Mike, it's absolutely gorgeous.


HAVE A GREAT INDEPENDENCE DAY!

Democracy was born on July 4th, 1776 when we declared our independence from Britain. Our land, "the land of the free and the home of the brave" has been welcoming immigrants to this country ever since, a practice that has - for the most part - been very beneficial to us. All of our ancestors migrated here from another country, and they did it legally. Many immigrants from foreign countries still immigrate here legally, and we welcome them with open arms. But nowhere is it written in any of our historical documents that we should be welcoming illegal immigrants with open arms; that practice is blatantly unfair to those who come here legally, learn our language, and add to our workforce... again, and I stress it, legally, just as our ancestors did.

Numerous sacrifices are made by legal immigrants in order to come into this country. They may have to wait for weeks, months and even years for approval. Accepting illegal immigrants ahead of legal immigrants simply isn't a fair practice and will hurt this great country... correction: is hurting this great country as I write this. San Francisco is now opening it's arms and throwing out the red carpet for illegal immigrants, and so San Francisco has decided, yet again, to turn it's back on what is right and fair. Once upon a time a long time ago San Francisco was a place I cherished. It has been ruined now and I not only don't cherish it, I despise it for what it has let itself become. I, and many others, are doing whatever we can to ensure that this country does not let itself turn into a larger version of San Francisco.

To all of you conservative bloggers who really care about this country I offer a heartfelt thanks for what you do, and sympathy for the frustration you feel as you watch the hard left doing it's ever-loving best to turn America into a socialist nightmare, in which we will only be one step away from communism, and trust me, we won't remain one step away from communism for very long if the left has it's way!

Most of you reading this already know the following, but I'm going to post it anyway just in case someone who does not know it happens to read this. The following can be found at Dictionary.com:

Socialism:
1. Any of various theories or systems of social organization in which the means of producing and distributing goods is owned collectively or by a centralized government that often plans and controls the economy.

2. The stage in Marxist-Leninist theory intermediate between capitalism and communism, in which collective ownership of the economy under the dictatorship of the proletariat has not yet been successfully achieved. (emphasis is mine.)
*************************
So as we celebrate this anniversary of our independence, please let us be thankful that so far we are still a democracy (democracy having nothing in common with the Democratic party) and not living under socialism! As hard as the left has been working toward their goal, they have failed. This year we can celebrate the fact that this is so, and I pray that it will remain so forever.
