As I prepare for Thanksgiving I am reminded what a great country we have here in the US. As I have my parents and my grandmother sign the Thanksgiving Guest Liability ad Indemnification Agreement, I am reminded of the freedoms that we enjoy. We have the freedom to sue anyone we want and make fraudulent claims against organizations because of our poor choices. What a great country! We also have the freedom to call anyone and everyone stupid for standing up for what they believe and how they vote. We also have the freedom of religion in this country, although we can't comment about the one true God in our schools and in public (it's also the one that this country's ideals were based upon) we do have the freedom to pray to Allah in our schools or any other made up god we want to. Wow, this is just great (my cheeks are hurting from smiling so much).
I will leave you with some wisdom on Abraham Lincoln:
We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of heaven. We have been preserved, the many years, in peace and prosperity. We have grown in numbers, wealth and power, as no other nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us; and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own. Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to God that made us!
Thanks be to God!
