07/02/13 - "4 July - NO, FREEDOM ISN'T FREE":
Happy EARLY 4th
of July!....Let's get this started, NOW! So it will be out there on the
fourth!
I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG, OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND TO
THE REPUBLIC, FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION UNDER GOD,
INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL! Including
Religious Freedom
And God Bless our Military who are
protecting our Country for our Freedom. We must never forget who gets the credit for the freedoms we have,of which we should be eternally grateful.
I watched the flag pass by one day.
I thought how many men like him
How many pilots' planes shot down?
I heard the sound of Taps one night,
I thought of all the children,
I thought about a graveyard
Enjoy Your Freedom and God Bless Our
Troops. |

From www.ajokeaday.com - 07/02/13:
A very
well-known international furniture and interior decoration
D.I.Y. Store recently set up a customer assistance
department.
The first call they got was from a lady who had purchased a wardrobe early in the morning. She explained that after assembly the wardrobe had crumbled three times when the public transport bus passed in front of her house. The store sent a technician over to her place. He reassembled the wardrobe - which was in the night hall on the second floor - and then went into it to observe what would happen when the bus, which was due a few minutes later, went by. The
phone rang just then and the lady went downstairs to take
the call. Just then her husband came home from work with a
terrible flue condition. Hearing his wife on the phone he
trudged upstairs where he found the wardrobe; on opening one
of the doors and seeing the man inside he exclaimed "What
the dickens are you doing in there!?!" To which the guy
replied, "I know you'll never believe this, but I'm waiting
for the bus!!"

Tune: The British Grenadiers
That seat of science Athens, And
earth's proud mistress, Rome,
Where now are all their glories We scarce can find a tomb.
Then guard your rights, Americans, Nor stoop to lawless sway,
Oppose, oppose, oppose, oppose For North America.
Proud Albion bow'd to Caesar, And numerous lords before,
To Picts, to Danes, to Normans, And many masters more;
But we can boast Americans Have never fall'n a prey,
Huzza, huzza, huzza, huzza For Free America.
We led fair Freedom hither, And lo, the desert smiled,
A paradise of pleasure New opened in the wild;
Your harvest, bold Americans, No power shall snatch away,
Preserve, preserve, preserve your rights In Free America.
Torn from a world of tyrants Beneath this western sky
We formed a new dominion, A land of liberty;
The world shall own we're freemen here, And such will ever be,
Huzza, huzza, huzza, huzza For love and liberty.
God bless this maiden climate, And through her vast domain
May hosts of heroes cluster That scorn to wear a chain.
And blast the venal sycophants Who dare our rights betray;
Assert yourselves, yourselves, yourselves For brave America,
Lift up your hearts, my heroes, And swear with proud disdain,
The wretch that would ensnare you Shall spread his net in vain;
Should Europe empty all her force, We'd meet them in array,
And shout huzza, huzza, huzza For brave America.
The land where freedom reigns shall still Be masters of the main,
In giving laws and freedom To subject France and Spain;
And all the isles o'er ocean spread Shall tremble and obey,
The prince who rules by Freedom's laws In North America.
