20070703 How fortunate we are to celebrate the 4th of July

Happy 4^th of July

My Westminster Eagle column is up on the paper’s web site: How fortunate we are to celebrate the 4th of July

07/03/07 Kevin Dayhoff Email this story to a friend

As we prepare to celebrate another Fourth of July, let us cherish the fact that we live in a country where we can criticize our government and our leaders – in complete safety with our mouths full, the television remote control in one hand and an iPhone in the other.

Perhaps, as we spend time with friends and family over the Fourth of July, we might take a moment to ponder just how fortunate we really are in our great nation.

After all, columnist Mark Tapscott recently noted that “Winston Churchill once remarked that God takes care of drunks and the United States of America.” For all our breathless faults, and the poignant wringing of hands and the theatrical gnashing of teeth, we are so fortunate; yet we tempt our karma in perilous ways.

As men and women in uniform fight and die in a foreign land, we utter epitaphs about our president and slur the military commanders in whom we entrust our safety and future.

We pronounce the world as we know it will come to an end as we face the anguish and concern about Paris Hilton’s welfare now that she has escaped the horrors of her long perilous stay in the slammer.

Read the rest here: How fortunate we are to celebrate the 4th of July

Happy 4^th of July
