Happy Fourth of July

Today is a day to celebrate the founding of the greatest experiment in history - the United States of America. Today is the day the founding fathers let the King of England know that the colonies were different and wanted freedom.  The colonies wanted freedom and rights. The Founding Fathers wanted create a nation of laws, freedom, and rights. The Declaration of Independence set in motion a great experiement.

So, today is a day to celebrate.Today is a day to be with family and friends.  A day to watch fireworks in the sky and not in the halls of Congress.

Yes, there could be a lengthy discussion and headline about leaks in the Supreme Court. Yes, it could be a day to discuss the Obama campaign's bus tour of Ohio and Pennsylvania.  It could be a day to discuss why bio-fuels for the Navy cost $26 a gallon.

It could be a day to discuss what Mitt Romney will be doing that President Obama has not done and likely never do - visit Israel.

Yes, all of thos things could be discussed and partisan bickering on those issues could be the highlight of the day.

Not today.  This is a day to celebrate freedom.  That is the highlight of today.

Happy Independence Day USA.
