Happy Birthday America!
 

Bottom line, even in these troubled times, Best democracy we humans have ever created. Yeah, yeah, I know we got a lot left to work on. But, today we celebrate Independence day.

We are, without doubt, the greatest country on the face of this earth. Let's remember on this July 4th what our ancestors sacrificed to give it us.


Happy 4th America!

Anyone who mindlessly hates this country takes for granted the incredibly rare right they have to openly despise their own undeserved existence which has simultaneously provided them with a standard of living they likely wouldn’t get anywhere else on Earth in any other time in human history.

Happy Birthday to this once amazing, albeit incredibly spoiled nation that won’t appreciate itself again until it’s too late.

I was 13 years old in the bicentennial year. It was a really big deal. It seemed like it was always in the news and then they had some sort of tall ship procession up New York harbor on July 4th.

Our 250th is coming up in 2026. I think it should be an even bigger deal.

The only thing I hate about this country is that Joey isn’t a romper room mod yet!!!

andrew jackson had his face slashed across both cheeks by the british when he was a child

**** anyone who wants to tear down any of his statues

that man sacrificed for this country

Alright.

very uplifting

If you didn’t like it, I know without question it was the right thing to say. :p

I look at it from a more global perspective. If it weren't for the US of A, many countries in the world today would live under tyrany. You would have millions of deaths from wars that the US involvement prevented. You would have millions of people suffering. No other country is more charitable in the world. And it's not just the government, you have organizations like the Red Cross and its affiliates, church groups with their work in Central America and Africa, and countless other NGOs. Think of all the many inventions in science and technology that have made our standards of living so much better. I truly believe America is a beacon of hope and positivity in this planet. Without its existence, it would be a very different place as we know today.

Sunrise Jimmy!

Nice, that's always crazy around the 4th. I have spent many 4th of July's up at Finley Point on Flathead Lake and drove into Bigfork. I did my best to support the Garden Bar back them. You golfing Eagle Bend?

Yea that area is so beautiful. My buddy has a cabin north of that spot. Closer to the Raven. Yea we’ll be golfing at Eagle Bend. Could barely sleep last night like a kid the night before Christmas. Can’t wait to get away for a few days and soak in that view. You got any plans?

which town in the KC area has the best firework display?

I have a couple of dogs that aren't as impressed with fireworks as some people are, so I'm laying low this year and firing up a fat steak. Have a great time up there, it's truly a special place. I'll be up there later this summer, so please don't drink all the beer!

Side note, I assume you know the Raven has a webcam?

At a party tonight, they will be shooting off double this amount.

I just can’t believe how much joy I have watching a Chiefs Touchdown.. 3rd time watching the video and it’s glorious..

I put my lab up last night while the grandkids shot a few off. Let them blow up my mail box
Put up a new one today
Don’t expect any wasp problems
sec

What about murder hornets? The grandkids got some fireworks to take care of that vermin?

You're definitely without any critical thought. You live in a open air prison that doesn't give a **** about you.

Oh yea I found out after we had a bachelor party there a while back and his wife said she could see us on the dock Ha! Enjoy the weekend and I’ll spare some of the beer for whiskey. Do just gotta be up at 8am tomorrow for another round

I gotta work tonight. :(

Me and Julio down by the schoolyard

You do the same boss. :thumb:

Outstanding. I would hire you for a Trump speech writer.

Well Carlos....if that's the way you truly feel, what the **** are you doing here? Believe it or not sonny - the world is a rather large place. I'm fairly certain that you can find SOME PLACE that fits your utopian standards..

I don't know...perhaps Iceland?

We have finally found the ultimate firework
