Patriotic Fireworks Under Fire in Oregon
Not everyone will be enjoying Fourth of July fireworks tonight. For some, festivities have been canceled in the name of sheer moonbattery:
An Oregon town has reportedly canceled its annual fireworks show out of concern the Fourth of July pyrotechnics will scare sea birds roosting nearby.
Town officials in Depoe Bay have announced the cancellation of the annual pre-Independence Day fireworks show on July 3 following pressure from federal wildlife managers who said the noise disrupts sea birds in the area, the Oregonian reports.
The move has irked local business owners who count on the popular show to bring foot traffic.
No wonder libs are perpetually outraged. Money grubbing capitalists care more about America than they do about ensuring the restful sleep of the sacred sea birds!
Bill Bigelow of the radical teacher organization Rethinking Schools, wrote that we need to “rethink” the 4th of July. This “progressive” teacher has declared war on fireworks.
The Fourth of July “…provides cover for people to blow off fireworks that terrify young children and animals, and that turn the air thick with smoke and errant projectiles. …there is something profoundly inappropriate about blowing off fireworks at a time when the United States is waging war with real fireworks around the world. To cite just one example, the Bureau of Investigative Journalism in London found recently that U.S. drone strikes in Pakistan alone have killed more than 200 people, including at least 60 children. And, of course, the U.S. war in Afghanistan drags on and on. The pretend war of celebratory fireworks thus becomes part of a propaganda campaign that inures us — especially the children among us — to the real wars half a world away.”
What’s really scary is that we have become inured to moonbattery, so that people who obviously hate everything this country stands for are no longer regarded as enemies.
MSNBC ought to dig out old Countdown episodes and run a Best of Keith Olbermann marathon all day on the 4th, so that moonbats can sit inside with the blinds closed and wallow in their putrescence while the rest of us celebrate America.
On tips from Shawn, Spider, and Bob Roberts.
The lunatic-left don’t need no stinking fireworks.
OBOZO and the rest of the d-cRAT socialists will spend the 4th of July doing what they usually do on this date: desecrating the American flag and burning copies of the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
Got to love this, a lib Dem. hits the wrong button and casts the decisive vote legalizing fracing in N.C.:
Rep. Becky Carney, a five-term Democrat from Charlotte, burst into tears after mistakenly voting with Republicans to override Democratic Gov. Bev Perdue’s veto of the contentious legislation. The measure lifts the ban on hydraulic fracturing as a means for mining for natural gas.

On this great American holiday we should be grateful for America’s enemies’ imeptness and continue to pray for the hand of God to either change their minds or disable them.
Its one thing to ban fireworks due to fire danger but this is just plain stupid. No wonder they call the west coast the Left Coast.

BLAME THAT ON OBROWNMAO!! What the F is wrong with these dipshit a-holes?!?
Liberals:
Scaring birds once a year = bad
chopping up live birds year around in a windmill = good
Oh well. 3/4th of the people in Oregon (all invaders from California and Mexico) don’t deserve fireworks. Fireworks are for people who celebrate America. These corn-holers don’t count. They should not be allowed to see fireworks. Screw the worthless communist bastards.
When “diversity” was first taught to me the fact that the Chinese invented these exploding projectiles was frequently pointed out as a reason to think of America as thieves of all that is good.When will these racist idiots stop with their divisive goals?
Typical knee(-and-other)-jerk histrionic reaction.
The annual pyrotechnics scare my dog, too, but it’s understandable. She’s a sometimes-skittish mongrel bitch with limited intellectual capacity.
Not unlike these hissy-fit-throwers…
What guy does NOT love a display of pyrotechnics? But then I am one of those bitter clinging backwater rubes living in fly over land. AND, just to be a pain in the ass to them, while my fireworks are going off, I’ll turn up the volume while playing Stars and Stripes Forever!
Aw, poor Bigelow. He poops in his diaper every time a firecracker goes off.
