[TR] Happy Birthday USA

[stagbytriumph at triumphstagclub.org]

Ha, thought you would get away without MY free speech!!  NFW!

 

I mistakenly thought you guys were more intelligent than to support and follow a despot tyrant publicly bent on the total destruction of the US Constitution and robbery of this country in favor of the billionaires.  

 

Great “Freedom 250” celebration where DJT pilfered and profited on the funds stolen from the Congressionally appropriated “America250”!!!  Yeah, we ALL saw how that fizzled like your dried-up prune king, and how every other State celebration completely diminished and overshadowed all the Freedom 250 grifts.  Mickey Mouse did a far better job promoting July 4th 250th Birthday around the USA than the grifter king.

 

You flap your lips in purported free speech, whilst simultaneously slandering the Runyan family business who lost priceless unreplaceable LBC items and NOS parts that can never be replaced by insurance, while supporting YOUR HOBBY!?!?   The Runyans should have sued you for slander.

 

Then in your purported free speech, you support the very nemesis of freedom and destroyer of democracies who tries to make criticism of him and his administration illegal, flying in the very face of the US Bill of Rights Article 1, and proclaims wanting to be king of the world in direct contradiction of the very creation of this Nation whilst profiting bigly through his corruption in office, criminal misadministration and theft of Congressionally allocated taxpayer money.  So THAT is what YOU and your idiot cult support, think about it and exactly how “American” that really is.  Maybe march in your tan trousers with your face covered with your Nazi and Confederate flags?

 

Mr. John Macartney, whom has spent thousands of hours and money promoting causes such as PTSD awareness, visited the majority of VTR chapters and dozens of clubs to unite the hobby, which has to date raised well over a million dollars directly for PTSD victims, their families, and charities including supporting our own neglected and abused US veterans for which I volunteered well over 5000 hours; is fully entitled to make any criticism or opinion he wishes; YOU or your other idiot cult believers cannot and will not suppress another’s free speech anywhere, and you sure as HELL cannot suppress mine!

 

US Founding Father Samuel Adams had perfect words for your kind:

“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”

― Samuel Adams

 

Don’t like it?  File a complaint with the digest owner and try to have me removed from this list.

 

There is no f^@king way I’ll be silenced by your lot.

 

Cheers!

Many of us are avid supporters of Donal J Trump, perhaps one of the greatest presidents this country has ever seen.  Just because you think socialism works, and you believe the highly prejudiced and liberal leaning press does not make it true.

 

Furthermore, you are not a citizen of this country; you benefited tremendously from the generosity of us in this country when you were here (and me in particular who in fact made your journey possible), and you have no damn business being so critical of a society to which you neither belong nor are a part.  Stay the hell on your side of the ocean.  This country is absolutely the greatest country on earth, and if it wasn’t for us you’d be speaking German.

 

Trump has brough greatness to this country instead of the pro gay, pro trans, and highly negative aspirations of the previous administration.

 

The US Bill of Rights, Article I does not limit people in expressing their opinion from anywhere on this globe;  it DOES however, limit GOVERMNENT from … abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the PEOPLE peaceably to assemble.

 

Does it say “Citizens”?  No, it says “the people”, lower case.

Friends,
 
I’m going to be away from a keyboard or tablet pad on 4th July which is always an important date for all y’all. We’ve seen on the UK news that a certain person who doesn’t need to be named is trying to focus the 250th celebrations on himself. Over the centuries, our two countries have waxed and waned towards one another which is all part of life and now we seem to be too far apart. Looking into the future, that situation will hopefully rectify itself but in the meantime to my many friends on this list - and elsewhere, Happy Birthday USA on 4th July, 2026.

PS. I have here a skid of letters written by an ancestor, Captain John Macartney, Royal Navy and Captain of HMS PRINCESS AMELIA to the Mayor of Norfolk, Virginia in 1776. The correspondence deals with the refusal by the Mayor to re-victual the seven ships under Captain Mac’s command that were moored in Norfolk harbour. Payment would be in gold but the mayor continued to refuse. At that point, the Captain made it clear he would order his squadron to bring their massed guns to bear on the township and open fire. Fortunately for everyone, the mayor changed his mind and massacre was averted. I apologise for any distress or hard feeling that may still exist in Norfolk and anywhere else :)
