Durka-Durka-Muhammed-Jihad!!
TWO HUNDRED and twenty-nine years ago, a new nation was born.
This new nation was an experiment in democracy, born from the ashes of a group of former colonies of the greatest empire in the 18th century. Fifty-six men signed their names to a radical document created in the summer of 1776. These men signed their names knowing that should their new nation fail to survive the revolt from the British crown, that they'd hang.
Two-hundred and twenty-nine years later that experiment in democracy is still thriving stongly.
Happy Independence Day to America and to it's citizens.
Here's hoping that everyone has a fun and safe Independence Day and that you're enjoying it with family, friends, and patriots. And if you've got some non-American friends, show them the meaning of America and how we celebrate the birthday of the Greatest Nation on the Planet....

Amen to that! And if my patriotism pisses off a few illegal aliens in the process it's an added bonus.

Happy Independence Day!!
