I look forward to this every year. NPR newsreaders reading the Declaration of Independence.

That's the first time I've heard it all the way through... Powerful stuff. Thanks!

Gotta give
to receive.
Happy birthday,
Republic

We sang this in church Sunday... heard it again at the independence day parade Monday, along with the national anthem (then we all said the pledge of allegiance the horrow!).
How many of you have heard or remember ALL the words?

O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!

O beautiful for pilgrim feet
Whose stern impassioned stress
A thoroughfare of freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America!
God mend thine every flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law!

O beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife.
Who more than self their country loved
And mercy more than life!
America! America!
May God thy gold refine
Till all success be nobleness
And every gain divine!

O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!

O beautiful for halcyon skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the enameled plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
Till souls wax fair as earth and air
And music-hearted sea!

O beautiful for pilgrims feet,
Whose stem impassioned stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
Till paths be wrought through
wilds of thought
By pilgrim foot and knee!

O beautiful for glory-tale
Of liberating strife
When once and twice,
for man's avail
Men lavished precious life!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
Till selfish gain no longer stain
The banner of the free!

O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
Till nobler men keep once again
Thy whiter jubilee!

Actually, "Mad King George" did piss blue.

He had porphryia, a blood disease.

Can cause mental issues among other things, and it turns the urine bluish.

Yes that's a Cuban sandwich, but at least I'm drinking America's oldest brewery. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1467741246.jpg

what kind of toolbox drives a brit car in a 4th of july parade?

I mean seriously that is just sad.

The ones who elect people to office who that are ashamed to be American or put their hand over their heart and say the pledge of allegiance?
