These people mad at America turning 250….let me tell you how I feel about that.
I plan to celebrate like a screaming bald eagle riding a rocket through a fireworks factory while a squadron of F-22’s fly overhead, a marching band plays John Philip Sousa, and someone grills enough brisket to feed an entire county.
I’m talking stars, stripes, smoke, barbecue, sweet tea, freedom, family, faith, friends, and enough red, white, and blue to make Uncle Sam tell me to calm down.
I’m going to thank God for the blessings of liberty. And I’m going to celebrate the greatest experiment in self-government the world has ever known.
God bless America, and hand me another hot dog.
