 Thank you @yogiboy.

Happy Independence Day to you also, and to all here on Audiogon.

I am happy to live here, happy to be here, and thankful to all who have made this country possible.

I never like to make long range predictions, but hopefully tomorrow will be another wonderful day in paradise.  Let us give thanks to the Chinese manufacturers who make our brilliant pyrotechnic displays possible.

Happy 4th of July to my fellow Agoners! I am thankful for this country and yes even the fact that we don’t have a king.  Enjoy family and friends this weekend.

BTW, we are a Republic.

Strictly speaking, we're a democratic constitutional republic.

Happy Fourth to all! To our Canadian friends: a slightly belated Happy Canada Day!

Yes, happy 4th to all. Special day for my wife and me, we'll be married 50 years as of tomorrow. Have a great day everyone and don't blow yourself up. :)

Billpete, I noticed on another discussion you mentioned you are 68 years old. Meaning you got married at 18. That's dedication! Congratulations.

No comment this year other than everyone always count your blessings.   Be kind to others.  Basking in cruelty has never been the  American way and still isn’t. 

Well. Half of the commenters here appear to be happy about the way things are /going.

My current state, thanks to this ruling party and persons is a disaster now so I am not sure I have much to celebrate. I wish however, at least 50% of the members here a wonderful day tomorrow.  blush 

@cleeds +1, you beat me to it. 

re·pub·lic

/rəˈpəblik/

noun

  1. a state in which supreme power is held by the people and their elected representatives, and which has an elected or nominated president rather than a monarch.

In other words, a form of democracy.

All the best,
Nonoise

My current state, thanks to this ruling party and persons is a disaster now

But @gano , they are living proof that this is the land of opportunity!

@nonoise - but you're familiar with democratic monarchies, are you not? King Charles is not a tyrant who runs his land with an iron fist. He has nothing to do with running his land - it's the prime minister and the elected parliament, like other democratic monarchies in Europe, like the Netherlands, Belgium, and the Scandinavian countries. The monarch does not run these countries. 

Hitler, Putin, Pol Pot, Mao, Stalin, Kim Jong Un - not a monarch in the bunch! I'm more concerned with the quality of the 'head of state' than the title. 

@gano + 1 - not feeling particularly celebratory this year. 

There is no reason for celebration in California 😪

Sadly, there are those who...

I keep my seatbelt on.

"I thought I could reduce my presence here and participate elsewhere so I registered on this site called whatsbestforum."

So gano, how is that workin' for you?

you are investing way too much into attacking me @viridian I hope it brings you some pain relief

No, you are like a child that craps in the kitchen, because he is too lazy to walk into the bathroom. Politically, I am aligned with you, but I understand this is not the place for politics. But you cannot help yourself, can you? It’s time for you to leave as you said you would, so we can get back to the matter of audio.

There are plenty of sites devoted to politics, on both sides of the aisle, no need for you to be here.

Let’s remember all the men and women through the generations that sacrificed to deliver this constitutional Republic to us and ask God‘s blessings that we may pass it on to our posterity in these perilous times

happy Fourth of July to you all

it sounds like you are still in pain viridian. We are not aligned in anything, you seem to have no idea how a conversation works on a forum. You don't get to tell people to leave. Now, if you don't mind, I will ignore your insults or whatever it is you are trying to do - very desperately, to get noticed....

I wish everyone a Happy Independence Day. My wife and I served in the US Military. She served 12 years and I served 25 years. I took my US flag down off the pole on Inauguration Day. Took the pole out of the ground. The flag is folded and waiting for the day we get America, the constitutional republic back, if ever.

If you don’t have real functioning borders you have, by definition, no country at all.  I am very thankful for President Trump and VP Vance for working to restore this wonderful country and rid it of criminal aliens allowed to pour in by the previous regime. GOD bless the USA.

SIGH...

The expected, typical comments trickling in.

I'll  give this thread another few hours.

 

Another new thread for the Toxic Ten to crap on. Happy 4th of July everyone, especially to those of us in California.

Happy 4th from gorgeous New England, where it all started!

The land that initiated giving those pesky British the what for and showed them just how the cow ate the corn. 

@yogiboy ​​​​​, you're a fellow Nutmegger, no?

I can't imagine what you are celebrating. 

I'll be observing the birth of this nation.

I hope on this 4th.of July, ALL DEMOCRATS are SUFFERING MISERABLY ... I hope your sanctuary cities are burned to the ground ...

That's an odd way to celebrate.
