July 4th means nothing.....

 I am so over the July 4th holiday.  It is suppose to be a celebration of our independence from Britain..the forming of our great nation.

But today, there is no independence.  Especially if you are poor, black or a minority, not christian, democrat or gay.

These people are shot at, discouraged, bullied, denied medical help, told they are going to hell .   The republican christian right has declared war on its very citizens.   Gays, minorities, women, athiest, LGBQ and non-republicans are being sacrificed.  

Their rights are being taken away by the supreme court and the states.  We are not a "free country",  Our country is teetering very close to the brink of another civil war.  But this time, it won't be over slavery, it will be over anybody who is not part of the far-right republican agenda, Trump supporter assholes, or those advocating for a National religion.

Look at all the fucking mass shootings?  Are we already in a civil war?  I say yes...the bullied, the hurt, the poor, the discouraged and discontent, the anger of people in our Nation is coming out through shooting.   

Everyone wants to blame guns or mental illness.  I blame the US Government and the christian right.  Our coins say "In God we Trust"...it does not specify, "In the christian god, we trust"...so God is whatever a person decides....Allah is God, Buddha is God, every religion has their own interpretation of God.

So for the government and the Religious Right, to push a christian god on citizens of United States, is taking back our "freedom of religion"...we are free to worship whatever the fuck we want...a door nob, a cat, a chair, whatever gives you peace....

Our country is moving towards Socialism, and away from Democracy...

The constitution is being interpreted now to fit the government and the far right agenda....the constitution is being torn up.

If you are not rich, socially connected, and christian...you are not an American....not anymore, you are a minority and are treated as such.  How sad is that?   

So the fourth of July is a fucking sham holiday, it means nothing anymore....sad.
