Unfortunately the rest of illegal Hispanic immigrants are spending their freedom in cages ready to be sent back to their poor, filthy, war torn native lands, horrible!!!
And a belated Happy Canada Day to you too!

Happy Independence Day to one and all as we celebrate the 242nd birthday of the greatest nation on Earth.
Sorry, not proud of this country right now. We have a tremendous amount of work to do to rid this country of evil, ignorance and hate.
We're basically the most hated place on earth right now, and for good reason. All of our most treasured values are under threat.
Attention all Trump Haters!Quote:

Are you kidding me right now? Your the kinda person that continues the hate and intolerance. And on the fourth you claim something like that? Go somewhere else that is more accommodating than the US! It’s time we start looking out for us again. So bad that the whole world wants to move HERE. GET LOST BUDDYQuote:

Love my nation. Love its history. Love the stories of my ancestors who arrived here in 1625. Strongly disliking and being vocal against the man who currently sits in our most honorable and esteemed position makes me as patriotic as my ancestors who fought against a man they thought held just as honorable and almost sacred position.
I have a 4th of July tradition of enlightening the masses of the misunderstanding that is the basis for our July 4 holiday, which should instead be a July 2 holiday. Here is the 2018 version...
All we know for certain about what happened on 4 July 1776: Benjamin Franklin had diarrhea, the original paper document we know as the "real" Declaration of Independence was still 2 weeks from being written on its famous parchment, and Thomas Jefferson recorded that the temperature was 76 degrees at 1pm in Philadelphia.
Independence Day should be celebrated on July 2!! July 2, 1776 is the day that the Continental Congress actually voted for independence. It was a simple formality that adopted the text of the document known as the Declaration of Independence 2 days later. Even the founding fathers expected July 2 to become the day of celebration, not July 4 [[where are you right wing founding fatherism freaks on this one?) John Adams, in his writings, noted that July 2 would be remembered in the annals of American history and would be marked with fireworks and celebrations.
So as we all go on our way to eat, drink, sing, and blow things up...inject a little historical knowledge bomb into your backyard barbecue conversation.
Happy Independency Day...whether you celebrate on July 2 [[freedom from England declared), July 4 [[text adopted), or Auguest 2 [[document first signed.)
