Happy 4th of July

AMERICANISM



If you want your father to take care of you, that's
paternalism,


If you want your mother to take care of you, that's
maternalism,


If you want comrades to take care of you
and everything you do is for the state, that's
communism,


If you think "if it feels good, do it,
regardless of the consequences or who it might hurt,
and are in this thing just for yourself, that's
individualism,

If all you care about are your possessions,
what you can accumulate in this life and things
are more important than people, that's
materialism,

If you want Uncle Sam to take care of you,
depend on the government for everything,
don't know the difference between entitlements
and benefits,
and you think they are totally responsible
for your well being, then that's not only stupid,
but
socialism,

But, if you want to take care of yourself,
be held responsible for your behavior,
hold yourself accountable for your actions,
feel a responsibility to be a good and productive
citizen,
promote the betterment of mankind
and bring honor to the greatest country
on the face of the earth, then that, my friend is

AMERICANISM !!!
