Americans working in the U.S. embassy in Indonesia celebrated the Fourth of July a month early, on June 4th, in order to appease the Muslims within that country. Of course, the left will say it was to ‘show respect’ for others, but this is utter nonsense. Showing respect is allowing others to carry on with their personal beliefs, so long as it doesn’t interfere with others doing the same. PC is changing oneself in a free fall of individuality that will only lead to a corruption of spirit. But then again, strength in individuality seems to escape the communists.
US Ambassador to Indonesia Robert O. Blake and US Ambassador to ASEAN Nina Hachigian presided over the festivities, which involved brass band renditions of the Star-Spangled Banner and the Indonesian national anthem, Indonesia Raya.Blake explained that the theme of the event leaned toward “green” development, which supported the US’ focus on building and promoting a green economy and more environmentally sustainable development.
He also praised Indonesia’s performance as a fully functioning democracy, aiming for further collaboration between the two countries in the years to come.
“The US will continue to support Indonesia in the future through its democratic achievements. Democracy is an American value which we have championed since [the country’s birth in] 1776,” Blake told the crowd during the festivities at his residence near Taman Suropati, Central Jakarta, on Thursday.
He added that moving the 4th of July celebrations to June 4 was one done out of respect for the upcoming Ramadhan month, which will last from June 17 to July 17.
The event also showcased a number of American products and businesses, including the Zero FX Electric Motorcycles, which Blake explained were an environmentally friendly vehicle used by the California Highway Patrol.
Muslims are the scum of the earth. They have been since the birth of the Devil prophet Muhammad slithered out of his cave, and they will be until they are put down. They have been put down three times in history. NOW it is time again to rid the earth of this vermin.
This is a non-event. In other countries, sure, we should be respectful of their customs/origins/etc. This is another example of the media trying to make a muutbaub out of a molehill. If this were in America, there should and would be outrage. However, when we are an occupying country, we should ALWAYS rise to the occasion and be the bigger person. Don’t ever assume that we know what’s best for EVERYONE. Let’s take care of what we do control before we try to control others.
Moderator please change to mountain.
The 4 th of July is special to americans, it is not fair to take it away. If the muslims don’t like it they can go back to where they came from to spend their day.
