"Do you want to see abortion, gay marriage, racism, crime, and every other issue resolved?"

Get involved in your local community and government. While today's holiday celebrates the United States throwing off the yoke of remote tyranny, it also celebrates self-government. That "self" means you and I. If we're not involved and acting to work to resolve issues of importance, we've only traded one form of tyranny for another.

Happy Fourth of July.

Oh boo hoo you couldn't hate and deny gay people the rights that you enjoy.

But make no mistake we are faithless because the god that makes you such a hateful bigot isn't worth following. he has no redeeming qualities because the people who follow him have no redeeming qualities. And the day we finally cast off that bigotry and ignorance that religion depends on to survive we will finally have a country worth celebrating.
