We the People....

I LOVE THIS COUNTRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where else IN THE WORLD can you ridicule the president TO HIS FACE and get rave reviews??????

Where else in the world can you get the president to join in the spectacle?

Where else can you openly argue with the government and not get thrown in jail for the rest of you life, or worse, killed?

Where else can you go to a different church every week... or no church at all... and not be sentenced to death?

Where else can you start behind the 8-ball with absolutely nothing and rise to the top of a company or the top of politics or the top of sports or entertainment? (And not be beholden to the government?)

Where else can several hundred illegal immigrants get together, march around a bunch of cities and not get harassed by the immigration police, arrested and deported?

Where else in the world are these five freedoms so vigorously defended?
CONGRESS SHALL MAKE NO LAW RESPECTING AN ESTABLISHMENT OF RELIGION, OR PROHIBITING THE FREE EXERCISE THEREOF; OR ABRIDGING THE FREEDOM OF SPEECH, OR OF THE PRESS; OR THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE TO PEACEABLY ASSEMBLE, AND TO PETITION THE GOVERNMENT FOR A REDRESS OF GRIEVANCES.
I love our differences. I love our similarities. I love being part of the mix of people calling themselves Americans.
God bless America!
