AMERICA HAS CANCER
AMERICA HAS CANCER
America has Crypto-Neo-Marxist Ideology Cancer in the executive, legislative, and judicial organs of government; which impairs the functioning of her Christian Culture and Constitutional Law. Historically, spontaneous remission occurs when the natural immune system, patriotism, produces a inflammation reaction, nationalism, which kills and expels these cancers.
AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE
FREEDOM TO WORSHIP OUR CREATOR, SERVE HIM, AND FREEDOM TO LIVE LIFE, PURSUE HAPPINESS, AND PASS THIS HERITAGE TO MY OFFSPRING. THIS IS THE IDEA AND REASON OF THE FOURTH OF JULY.
The meaning of July 4
OK....let's see....of all the countries on this earth, which country would you think is the best to live in? Let's consider the options...
Iran?.....if you live in that country and are not a member of the religious group that runs that country's government, you are persecuted...if you are a christian in Iran you are beheaded!
Russia?......hmmm, don't think so
China?.......communist run government....government run birth control (parent's are only allowed to have one child)....nope
Syria, Pakistan, Afganistan, North Korea, anywhere in Africa, etc.....no thanks.
France, Germany, Japan, Great Britain, Canada....these countries are pretty good in that their governments appear to support individual freedoms, but I don't think the opportunities of individual growth/improvement are better in those countries.
Mexico, or any country in South America.....you have got to be kidding!
With all it's faults...and there are many.....the United States is clearly the very best country for an individual person or a family raising children to live in. The opportunities are truly without limits (as long as you are willing to put forth the individual hard work and effort)
July 4 is a reminder to all of us how lucky we are to live in this country.
