My Fourth of July Rant

Our country is changing, and I don’t believe it’s for the better.

NBC, one of the cornerstones of the major networks, had a patriotic tribute during the US Open golf tournament of grade-school children reciting the Pledge of Allegiance and other moving videos. Some PC cub cadet decided to eliminate the line of “one nation under God.”

The network apologized because of the avalanche of calls, e-mails and rants, but spent most of their time trying to point out that the “under God” part was added in 1954. Oh, so that makes a huge difference — that we actually acknowledge we’ve been blessed by God for the hundreds of years before and the 57 years since?

This dimwit probably was bombarded by this sort of thinking in his college days at our illustrious foundations spewing that America has always been a bully and a terrible country.
