July 4th, Don't forget about those who protect it.

[El Jefe]

I know most of you have seen this video, and I really don't care if people are tired of seeing it. We need to remember those who are daily putting their lives in risk for us. We need to remember those who have served and are serving. Without them this Country wouldn't have the freedoms it does. For every CP member who has served or is serving, from the bottom of my heart I thank you!

The cost of freedom is always high, but Americans have always paid it. And one path we shall never choose, and that is the path of surrender, or submission.

Too bad Obama is such a communist

Celebrating the date of our country's independence is political?

Don't be a tool.

I'll take a moment to remember the contributions of marketing researchers, as they are so often forgotten.

Celebrating the date of our country's independence is political?I prefer to think of it as the anniversary of when we said, "Fuck you" to George III

[Donger]

Same thing.

[Dave Lane]

Don't we have memorial day and veterans day for the veneration of our troops?

[Hammock Parties]

This thread again? LMAO

I'm sorry respecting and remembering the troops is such a terrible thing for both of you.

[Frazod]

I thank the troops, remember my fellow veterans, and reflect upon the history of the day.

But this year, I'll mainly be celebrating air conditioning.

[RealSNR]

I never said it was a terrible thing, dude. I made a harmless joke in the first post. That's all I said. Sheesh. Calm down.

[Hammock Parties]

I'm sorry respecting and remembering the troops is such a terrible thing for both of you.

The more you do it, the less meaning it has.

Quite frankly, I'm sick of these threads. Worship of one's country can go too far. We all pay taxes, that's plenty obeisance.

I'm not mad, I guess I get frustrated easily in regards to things like this. I live in an area where it seems we have been over run by Somalians who hate our country and it kills me. Last week I had a Somolian who said he would not come into our shop because of our American flag hanging over the door.

[El Jefe]

I don't even get why you have to poke your head in these types of threads.

Because it's a free country. Ain't it great. I'm just exercising my constitutional rights.

Celebrate my freedom, bitch.

[Saulbadguy]

We already have 5 or 6 of these stupid holidays where we are supposed to feign patriotism. Fuck off.

The first part of your sentence is true, and I understand that. The second part of your sentence I will have to agree to disagree.

Hey now I may not agree with your decision to denigrate the memory of Marilyn Monroe that way, but I'll defend to the death your right to do so

[Nzoner]

I'm doing 10% off for all military at Pyro Joe's and have seen a fair amount of business from it.It's not much but all of them have thanked me much for at least thinking of them and I sincerely reply,"it's the least I can do."

I hang a Somalian flag in my shop. Guess what? Somalian customers as far as the eye can see.

If this was a naturalized US citizen, I'd say that the oath he took was taken with a few fingers crossed.

I payed for the lunches of a group of army troops at the airport a few weeks ago. I asked the waitress to give me the bill and she asked if I wanted them to know who did it. I told her no and when their bill came, she told them that someone picked up their bill. Then, the group of drunken, obnoxious women next to me, said, "He did it! He did it!" and pointed at me.

Spoken like a true Jehova's Witness,my niece married a JW and I'll never forget her telling me she could no longer stand during nor sing the national anthem because it was considered worship of something other than Jehova.:spock:

Well, to be fair to the drunk women, the troops should've figured out it was you picking up the tab with you wearing a top hat, monocle, sporting a cane and constantly looking at your gold and platinum pocket watch and chain.

I don't wear such attire when I travel commercially with the vulgar masses. I try to blend in, so I wear "jeans" and a "T-shirt."

Sorry but the troops in recent years don't protect our freedoms. They protect the interests of the bankers. plain and simple.

Why don't you research what our country (along with western europe) has done to their home and you might understand why.

I mean between the theft of resources and the dumping of our toxic waste, I can see why they might not take a fancy to the US or the western world in general.

Well, considering that they immigrated here, they can't really complain too much.

One the greatest things about our flag is that it symbolizes your right to burn it on the ground if you so choose.

...and one of the greatest things about our country is that she will live on through the flag burners, the self-loathing malcontents and the near sighted haters because she has those who will defend her. Where do you live?

Truth. Vietnam anyone?

Most of the veterans I know these days have grown to despise the constant need for respect that some people feel are necessary to dump on the troops. The last stranger in uniform that I thanked for his service told me to shove it up my ass because he was sick of people feeling like they had to bend over backwards to acknowledge him.

Interesting, I have NEVER ran into that, and I have a ton of veterans and current serving members in my family and friend circle.
