patriotism in america should unite us. the values that we believe in that are enshrined in that declaration of independence are what has made america special. let s not forget them and get rid of them. let s reinforce them and remind and teach. i would say read the declaration of independence to you r your kids today. at least the poignant parts that they would understand and say they had a lot of grievances. the foot of the bricks was on it anbring ofthe brits wae said no more. abby: such a divisive and hateful time. at the fourth of july, why are above everything else we are americans. how often we forget that we are all here fighting for the same cause. fighting for out freedom. that s what we need to celebrate today. as rush limbaugh said don t be ashamed. put out those american flags.
