Considering the Fourth of July

Tomorrow, the new American Embassy will be officially inaugurated in Berlin, on the site it occupied until the ravages and evil of the Third Reich.
It is unfortunate that it will be opened by represenatives of an administration that consider the Constitution their own private playpen and trample on the rights and liberties and principles of justice foremost in the minds of those who drafted and signed the Declaration of Independence 232 years ago. Bushbaby and the Chainy gang have never understood what it's all about, nor do they have any concept of true patriotism. Fortunately, the Embassy represents the country, all of the American people, and Germans and Berliners know Americans can stand up for the good. Let us hope and act together that a new administration of principle will soon determine the Ambassador who officiates in this building.

For this year's Independence Day, let's reflect on this:
