A most interesting and insightful observation re. "Leaders with no ties to the future..."
Thank you!

My wife at the time loved it.....

Neal Boortz! Listened to him every day for years....Moved away from the ATL area about the time he retired. His book on the flat tax was the best tax system I had ever reviewed.

Only fear would be once in place the "peoples representatives" would think the rate would need to be increased.....and increased....sigh...and you know the rest!

Most welcome. Neal Boortz was the first one I heard use that a whole lotta years ago. But it's still appropriate today.

Obliviots - I really like that! Gonna use it...

Thanks RM0720

But they'll squabble over the juicy remnants......

and Trump has been getting the McCarthy treatment by the lying media.

Hard not to feel some sadness after reading that. Government webs that need cutting are attached to everything. However, today I choose not to dwell on that and I will celebrate the freedoms I do have above most of the rest of the world. Tomorrow we can get back to trying to untangle the web.

Very nice piece of history, FFA!

Americans of today have certainly won the lottery of time and place to be born and live. Nicely written, LibertyPen, and thanks for posting here in the Gulch!

I have to admit I've never seen this musical though I've heard of it. Maybe it's time to check it out.

Tag 'em now, swat 'em later? We'll see.

Things political have been getting strange for quite a while, but it's been speeding up it seems. Only a decade or so ago I never would have guessed a full commie (commie lite, maybe) jihadi would run NYC, but here we are. On a side note I am now about 2/3rds through the book "Target: Patton", whom Stalin and others hated and wanted permanently gone. The author documents the amount of Soviet infiltrators and spies within the US government during WWII and beyond is enormous. It seems FDR would kiss Stalin's behind every day and twice on Sunday, too. The commie pot in the US has brewing, even at the highest levels, for some time and now we are seeing the boil begin.

Love the 250th special edition, OUC! Thank you! Perhaps the best inventions of all would be the Declaration of Independence and a working Constitution for a newly invented republic on the face of the earth that provided the ground work for all that followed.

I did. Even when sleepy after watching all of Trump's speech and historically longer than ever fireworks tonight.

ENJOY

John Adams got this right. But notifying the new country’s citizens with a declaration that explained and justified the Lee resolution took priority on July 4th. I have learned to live with that. : )

Remember posting a picture of my house with the caption: I BUILT THIS !, back then

As much as I hate to admit it, FFA,... you're right, of course.
My thought was: many or most of the radical Islamists would be together in one place.

I like the "We made it!" There ought to be a picture of Obama with a circle and line through it next to that.

It's been a Fight from the start but we've made it through 250 years. If you are still feeling sad and worried about our future, think of it this way, We made it so as to Fight another day if we must.

Lady Liberty is worth saving and her light has always shined upon America . . .

👍👍
Indeed, Independence Day is the real day to give thanks for the freedoms enjoyed and plan how to restore freedoms lost.

Hmmm, my observations are reality.

The ASK: "Just make it make sense..." is the part I believe you were addressing... By essentially saying... "It's just what they do".

FWIW, I was starting to end my OP with "Could it have anything to do with the Big D after her name..." with a total double entendre.

Hank was long suffering, but didn't mind it as much as many would think because he enjoyed what he did, as do I.

From Galt's speech: ""But you expect industrial giants—who plan in terms of decades, invest in terms of generations, and undertake ninety-nine year contracts—to continue to function and produce, not knowing what random caprice in the skull of what random official will descend upon them at what moment to demolish the whole of their effort."

Yes, I do have such negative experience. My company was shadowbanned for telling an inconvenient truth about Dr. Fauci and COVID. That being said, for some of us inventors, the thrill of the invention and the making of money off of it far outweighs the negatives.
