"Republicans believe every day is the Fourth of July, but Democrats believe every day is April 15th"
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."
"An almost unbroken 50 years of deficit spending has finally brought us to a time of reckoning. We have come to a turning point, a moment for hard decisions. I have asked the Cabinet and my staff a quetion, and now I put the same question to all of you: If not us, who? And if not now, when? It must be done by all of us going forward with a program aimed at reaching a balanced budget. We can then begin reducing the national debt."

Have a wonderful Independence Day Alan, we had our City celebration last night, over 10K people attended..
That's the biggest turnout we ever had in our little city...
Thank you, Fred. Unfortunately I had a bit of food poisoning or flu that draining all energy from me so I was in bed all day. Feeling a bit better Tuesday morning.
Those were the 'good old days'. Thanks for reminding us, Alan.
@Alan:
No July 4th parade in downtown Seattle yesterday, however, the last weekend in June saw a large "Gay Pride" parade in the People Republic of Seattle.
@Ronbo: That's how societies self-destruct.
