ABC NEWS: July 4th Celebrations cancelled: no dough...

[PCIntern]

Why do these republicans in the White House hate America so much? They're allowing the cessation of observances of our most sacred day...(after Christmas of course (because we're a Christian country - it says so in the Bible)). I say, call out the militia and force these communities to acknowledge the birthday of our Republic. Fixed bayonets...

:sarcasm: just in case...

but in fact, this is a sad state of affairs and a real issue for Dems: you have an administration which impoverished the country sufficiently such that we can't even celebrate July 4th. "Vote McSame, right" HA!!

[JoFerret]

2. If that means fewer backyard fireworks

I am all for it.

[Raine]

4. Me too

the neighbors with their fireworks drive my poor little dog into a terrified frenzy :scared: takes him days to recover. :-(

[JoFerret]

5. And the birds have to endure enough without July 4th

And the bloody noise drives pets wild and keeps people awake.

And worst of all - it goes on indiscriminately - for days and weeks.

And the stupider the neighbor - the more they love the loud bang versus the pretty sparkles.

3. You're kidding!! The white house isn't

having Fourth of July Fireworks? The budget is in the cellar 'cause the money is being used by the OIL men in Iraq?

[PCIntern]

6. The story was that many municipalities

can't afford the fireworks and police overtime...sorry if I wasn't clear.

[Cha]

7. That's okay..either way

it's indictive of the way we're goin' because the OIL men bombed Iraq.

10. in florida thats crap

we are not having as many because the cities allow private businesses to sponsor the shows
this year we had no corporate sponsor so no show
ron jons backed out
the city never did budget it in the first place
and our towns are not alone its that way all over the state

8. Third World Status, here we come.

9. 3rd world status is exactly the plan......may take a while but that's where

we're heading.

[WinkyDink]

13. I agree; it's a plan. Out-sourcing, lower wages, reduced benefits, and militarism.

[JoFerret]

11. Third world is full of explosions

I am happen to have ours reduced.
