SOME ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS FROM INDEPENDENCE DAY:

RETIRED U.S. ARMY LT. COL. TONY SHAFFER is amazed that Americans are willing to give up their rights.

It's amazing because the people who are the most willing to give up those rights and undermine our system are the ones who would be subjugated in any other system.

These are the kinds of people for whom 'eat me last' is a strategy.

A VERY GOOD QUESTION: It's July 4th, and Americans are burning our flag. Why are these people even here?
