See now, I don't get what you mean by this. Farm boys?
George Washington made sure all his troops were properly equipped with guns, not pitchforks!

... Duh.... common knowledge, man.

... The 4th of July is Independence Day. It was the day Aliens came to Earth, blew up the White House and caused all manner of trouble....

... Until Will Smith and some other guy flew up to their mother ship and infected it with a virus... thus infecting all the smaller ships, which is when we kicked their butts!

... Man, you need to brush up on your history.

...

I bloody love parties! I may have a 4th of July party....

hey brits.
tomorrow we have a 5th of july party

For what, for being super cool?

Independence day? Up until the civil war maybe. Our constitutional rights were raped at that point (i speak as a TRUE southerner), and that flag became the flag of the oppressor.

Only good thing about today: Die Hard 4.0 comes out.

no we just celebrate our independence from your monarchy. That doesnt mean we are cocky.

I am deeply ashamed, as a southerner, of racism here in the south. Believe it or not, there were southerners back then who despised slavery and fought against it. My great grandfather in Kentucky had run ins with the KKK (my grandmother wouldn't give me the particulars), and in my house as a child, i would have received a serious ass whipping if i had said the n word. I wouldn't have thought you were the type of person to stereotype people so blindly. Btw, my daughter's mother is classic New Orleans Creole - French, Spanish, African, and Houma Indian. You are evidently under the mistaken impression, as are many others, that the civil war was about slavery. Slavery was used by the Federalists as an emotional issue to further their cause, but the real issue was secession. The U.S. Constitution clearly stated that "if any of these 13 colonies decide to secede from this union, THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO DO SO (caps mine)". Our constitution was dishonored and dismissed, as it is today, and that flag is meaningless without it.

Very happy to be living in the greatest country on earth. Every time I get back here from someplace else, it's a wonderful experience. Happy 4th to all fellow Americans!

Complete idiotic statement. Wake up fool, there is no such thing.
