A message from the City of Orlando

And they're sorry if you were offended

“The city of Orlando sincerely regrets the negative impact our words have had on some in our community. We understand these words offended some of our residents, which was not our intent. We value the freedoms we have in this country and are thankful to the men and women who fought and continue to fight for those. We take pride in celebrating the 4th of July to express our gratitude to those men and women and honor the country we live in.”

But apparently some have issue with the fact an "apology " was issued

Lord knows the GOP is imperfect and many GOP elected officials continue to disappoint . . . but when stuff like this keeps surfacing, I have to wonder . . . how the HELL can ANYONE vote for a democrat?!?!

Leftists have very different values than conservatives.
And loyalty sure isn't one their values.

Pretty much the same from NPR

    This July 4th we break with tradition. Instead of a reading of the Declaration of Independence @NPRinskeep examines what equality means and has meant in this document. Important segment about our past and future...produced by @marcarivers and @bgordemer https://t.co/MxlgNaWpC1

Happy 4th  from Forbes:

I also saw that NPR did another 4th of July story on all the military people speaking out on their hate of present day America thanks to SCOTUS.

Promises, promises but they never leave.

Promises, promises but they never leave.

Where else can you be that stupid and make millions and continuously rip the country that made it possible and not be shot?

And again I see Portugal, which has been popping up a lot recently in lists of good countries for Americans to retire to.

Wouldn't it be funny if the Fourth of July holiday fell on Independence Day?

Not all of that area sucks...
