Note: This is posted early, I’m going to be camping on the 4th

Stop it. Right now. Stop with the ‘4th of July’ PC crap. This is Independence Day. The day that Americans took hold of the reins of their destiny and threw off the yoke of British tyranny. Today is not about fireworks, family or friends. Its about Freedom from oppressive government.

Today is about remembering how our country was founded. Its not about any of the PC crap that we are going to see on television, read in the newspapers or pontificate about on the radio. It is about the one thing that scares the shit out of every totalitarian government in the world: An armed population rising up against injustice and taking control of their own lives. It is about the fact that without the right to keep and bear arms we are no better than slaves, serving at the whim of an uncontrollable government master.

So in addition to sitting around and kibitzing with Aunt Martha why don’t you do something useful and take the relitives to the range. You could teach them how shoot, or participate in Claire Wolfe’s unique approach to a rifle competition – The TCF Combat Rifle Postal Match.

As I would expect, Michelle Malkin gets it right and wishes everyone a happy Independence day weekend.
