There should be an alternate 250th Anniversary celebration of this country.

Anti-MAGA.

During FDR's terms, their emphasis was on American heritage, American pride, American music (Aaron Copeland), American history, American strength, American arts, etc.

I was at a chorus concert yesterday with several patriotic songs and I was thinking "Why can't we take them back?" Re-claim what it is to be an American . . . And I don't mean European/White/Caucasian. I mean everybody.

Don't let Donald Trump take away our July 4th. Don't let him "celebrate" it with wrestling matches and speed car races around the Capitol.

It's ours, not his.

It's not as though Trump and company are in charge of all of them. I'm going to something next weekend that's about Spain's contribution to the Revolutionary War. You think Trump would like that one?
