I must confess that this year’s July 4th celebrations were hard for me to experience. I felt that we are not the country we have been in the past and I wondered why that seemed to be the case. Well, it turns out that a small portion of the population is ruining it for everyone and is hell bent on destroying the America I have come to know and love. I love my country but I hate and despise my government and I hate and despise simpletons and idiocracy.
