Patriots not Pundits

This goes out to all my brothers and sisters serving proudly and bravely at home and abroad. This holiday is for them because they embody the same strength and courage that our forefathers had when starting this whole shebang 232 years ago. It's thier service that allows all of the mouth-breathing talking heads a forum for thier spiteful, petty and hypocritical ramblings. Thank God this is going to be the last 4th of July we have to celebrate while having the single worst Presidential Administration still in office. Little Steven of E Street Band and The Sopranos fame wrote this back in 1983 and Eddie Vedder has been covering it live for years. If you like the lyrics I highly suggest you search You Tube and watch any of many videos posted of him performing the song.

I Am A Patriot

And the river opens for the righteous, someday
I was walking with my brother
And he wondered what was on my mind
I said what I believe in my soul
It ain't what I see with my eyes
And we can't turn our backs this time

I am a patriot and I love my country
Because my country is all I know
I want to be with my family
With people who understand me
I got nowhere else to go
I am a patriot
And the river opens for the righteous, someday

I was talking with my girlfriend
She looked so fine I said baby what's on your mind
She said I want to run like the lion
Released from the cages
Released from the rages
Burning in my heart tonight

I am a patriot and I love my country
Because my country is all I know
And I ain't no communist, and I ain't no capitalist
And I ain't no socialistand I sure ain't no imperialist
And I ain't no democrat
And I ain't no republican either
And I only know one partyand its name is freedom
I am a patriot
And the river opens for the righteous, someday

I hope everyone has a safe and happy 4th of July.
