    What kind of celebration is Trump planning for the 4th of July? Rolling tanks and stuff down the roads in a military parade?

      It seems Cindy Sheehan created Code Pink to politicize the death of her son. It's funny she has these so called anti military and government ideas, yet yet she supported Hugo Chavez and look at the current state of Venezuela right now

        I don't know, but what if he was having a military parade? What better way to celebrate Independence day, which celebrates the founding of our country which was accomplished by military action?

          It is normal to celebrate the 4th of July with military events here Leonhard. Growing up, nearly every place I have lived has had military air shows, parades and fireworks on the 4th. Pretty awesome.

            You'll have to excuse me, military parades just leaves something sour in the mouth of Europeans. Its a taste thing. I do hope it doesn't veer too much off into vulgar displays of power.

                  I worry that if Antifa shows up they are going to run into a lot of Patriots who won't back down.

                        No, I want a peaceful 4th. There is one guy in my shop who may go down just for the rumble...

                          As a Christian, I too want peace, but as a pragmatist I don't think Antifa is going to stop until they get a major smackdown and know there are consequences to their actions.

                          And they need to pass a federal law that prohibits wearing masks at civil demonstrations and protest gatherings.

                            That would be a good start!

                              I wouldn't be against that. Anonymity invites anarchism.
