Holiday Hijacking

As the feminists try to take over Valentine's Day and Hanukkah is being transformed into the Jewish Christmas, localists want to turn Independence Day into Food Independence Day.

Food "independence" over America's cry for freedom? That sounds like clearing away a cathedral to make room for a hot dog stand.

Alexis de Tocqueville put it best when he said, “The Revolution of the United States was the result of a mature and reflecting preference for freedom, and not of a vague or ill-defined craving for independence.”

How could a couple of ripe cabbages ever hope to compete with that?
