Sammy Baugh - I've always enjoyed your posts and you do have a laid back attitude about everything. I don't think something that just said hurray for the 4th would have started any controversey. I know I celebrated my independance with a lot of booze and things that go boom, just like I'm sure my founding fathers would have done. However I think you must understand one thing, not everyone here is as religious as you. I don't mind a single bit if you're Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Hindu, Mormon, or any other established religion we have. Personally, I don't believe in these religions, but I understand how they can bring comfort and they definitely set great morals. Anyhow, I'm going a bit of course. I think the problem was when there were so many religious overtones. Especially when talking with people my age, a lot of us have trouble just tossing differences like that into the water. Most college kids want to argue things of the sort, which we've done on here time and time again.
I'm not a GWB fan, I'm not a religious man, and I don't agree with a lot of moves our country may make. One thing I am, is proud to be an American, I only criticize because I try to improve and not let the country degrade. I'm proud of my country, and I feel we all should be. Especially on it's birthday. So please, please, please just let this thread turn into a hurray thread instead of a few guys yelling.
I would just like to quickly say that our founding fathers were firebrands. Radical firebrands with crazy ideas. A lot of which we have strayed away from while we evolved as a nation. Also remember that there is growing support to suggest a founding father (Jefferson) was an Atheist. Just interesting little facts. Every great nation falls, I'm just trying to extend our amount of time on top!
Please don't bring anything but constructive criticism here.
