I will happily celebrate this independence day under foreign occupation while I blow up my Chynese fireworks.

Deja vu. This sounds familiar... Worthwhile to say every year though.

They called it by both "4th of July" and "Independence Day" in the 1800s. It was entered into text in Congress as "4th of July" in 1870 when they passed the holiday act. So it's gone under both names for quite some time now.

But yes, I still call it Independence Day as a special fuck you to the lefties that get offended by the name.

Been saying it to everyone this year. All my father's generation have given me a huge smile for doing it right

Calling it the 4th is just another example of the cabals language manipulation. Like calling it Planned Parenthood when in reality it is planned infanticide.

I never call it anything else.

We don't celebrate dates on a fake calendar. We celebrate freedom and men with the balls to secure and defend it.

That's right I said men, with balls. Straight males. XY chromosome, heterosexual, and PROUD.

PROUD to fight to the death for our women and children.

PROUD of who we are.

We have TWELVE pride months every single year, bitches

Yep.

It’s both. Don’t be so melodramatic.

Damn right!

A massive marketing deception either way you say it..

This is the stupidest post ever made here. Congrats.

Don't you remember the movie, Yankee Doodle Dandy, where James Carney tap danced up the walls of the proscenium singing, I'm a yankee doodle dandy, born on the 4th of July? One of those movies made to advance the war effort. It's always been both to me.

Independence Day? We are slaves to the Administrative State who make rules and regulations to control you every day under color of authority. You pay their illegal fines, you pay for their illegal permits, and they tell you what you can buy and when you can use it.

This country has never been more enslaved than it is today!

Happy independence day to all you treasonous colonist.

That's correct. We all celebrated Independence Day last Saturday in my neck of the woods. I'm very confused.

Not a single mention of independence on local news today.

Well, what date was the Declaration dated? Hmm...???

OMG that's why that alien movie is called Independence Day. Mind blown.

I'm pretty sure it's BOTH. It doesn't matter what you call it. We know what it is. This isn't a Christmas versus Happy Holidays situation. The names are perfectly interchangeable.

I'm more concerned about this trend that you can't celebrate with fireworks around veterans. I'll tell you what. Everyone I know is a vet, including myself. Many combat vets. My family, my friends, my co-workers. I've NEVER met a single veteran whose PTSD is so bad they can't be around fireworks. Do they exist? I'm sure they do. Should we NOT celebrate on Independence Day because an EXTREMELY small percentage of veterans might be triggered by fireworks? I think not.

Exactly. I correct those "4th of Julyers" continually with "Happy Independence Day!"
