I probably would have been a Loyalist. I'm just saying. I probably would have. Maybe Mel Gibson and Heath Ledger would have killed me. Or maybe I would have moved back to England.
But what's done is done and here we are 233 years later, and I'm not really a Patriot, a Democrat or a Republican, a Democratic-Republican, Bull-Moose, Green, Labour, Conservative, Whig, Tory, whatever. I guess that makes me a Loyalist.
Loyal to this country (I refuse to invoke the flag; I've always found nothing less inspiring than a piece of cloth), in a wouldn't-commit-treason way, in the way that any natural born citizen of anywhere ought to be affectionately loyal, for better or worse.
More importantly, loyal to Jesus, or want to be, always. Oh, Jesus. The true founder of freedom and liberty.
And that is my Independence Day speech. Happy Fourth!
