Give me Liberty, or give me Death"!!!!

Loved it! And he had the audacity to mention God...
" It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country."

GM, that's an excellent reminder of what the 4th of July is all about. Not that it's not about the fireworks and cookouts, too.:) Happy Independence Day, a few days early.
Have a nice weekend.
And thanks for another Friday 55.
Mine's here. :)
Freedom rocks.
So does watermelon and fireworks and apple pie.
But freedom rocks more.
Happy 4th, sir.
Mine's here.

I salute this red, white & blue 55, PBR fabulous!
Mine is not so patriotic, as I had a bit of fun with the idiotic. (politics is involved, ergo, content may not be okay for all viewers). Wishing you a fabulous fourth, G!

Freedom is a good good thing.
May we all be free, and appreciate it.

Fabulous tribute and kickoff to the fourth of July, but I have to wonder...
What is Palin's version of this story? :P
I might do a 55 this week. I'm working on it. Either way I know I'll have a kick ass weekend. I hope you do too! :)
Thanks for the reminder of our freedom G ( and for hosting faithfully each week)

Happy Independence Day...
Here is My 55,
What a passionate speech, huh? I wonder what he'd think of our legislators now...
Your edifying 55 makes me wish to be moved by a speech again.
Happy 4th to you, G-Man! Thanks for being such a fun host. (BTW, your one shot limericks cracked me up!)

One day (which hasn't happened in 4 years) they are going to give the old ladya holiday off so we might be able to book out for a long week-end. One day-just not this one.

Ironic, though, since we were still engaged in keeping humans as slaves at that time. I guess that's a freedom it took us longer to get to.
So many people take freedom got granted. I like to celebrate it every day.
Hope you had a glorious fourth!!
I'm late, but better than never I guess. Hope you had a wonderful 4th of July, G!
Mine is here: Sunrise whispers..
excellent historical 55
