Re: Happy Birthday AMERICA
said by whocares  :WE...HAVE DONE IT ON OUR OWN[b] with other countries only offering us some offering sympathy or laughing at us & our problems,with no other country sending any type of help... It's great to celebrate a birthday, but it is a dishonor to our country to pretend that others haven't helped us in our time of troubles. I'll give a few links and then end this with a report from our own federal government.

Now a little from a report by the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO)
"In response to Hurricane Katrina, countries and organizations donated to the United States government cash and in-kind donations, including foreign military assistance...Because the U.S. government had not received such substantial amounts of international disaster assistance before, ad hoc procedures were developed to accept, receive and distribute the cash and in-kind assistance...In the absence of policies, procedures, and plans, DOS developed an ad hoc process to manage $126 million in foreign cash donations to the U.S. government for Hurricane Katrina relief efforts...Through this process, $126 million was donated to the U.S. government from 36 foreign countries and international organizations without restrictions, which DOS recorded in a designated account at the U.S. Treasury to hold the funds."
I guess it's just one rewrite of the history books and France didn't give us the Statue of Liberty!
What's the point in having a party if you ignore your friends?

What a shame to take the fun out celebrating this GREAT NATIONS birth.It`s basically an education issue that they fail to get across.I mean even if all we had were pots and pans to bang together there would still be some missing teeth and a few knots on the head by the end of the night.
Love this country or leave it.Vote to implement change.
Thank God, and Happy Happy Birthday you Great Wonderful Nation! |

Yea, I hate listening to the police scanner and hearing all the whiny bastards that complain about fireworks. I was watching tv not too long ago and I think it was Jefferson who said that July 4th should be celebrated with bonfires and stuff like that. Its ironic that the government got in the way of doing something American. |
