Take a moment to reflect on the founding of this great nation and the reasons behind it.
George Washington’s farewell address is presented as a warning against leaders who seek to consolidate power by undermining democratic institutions. The Federalist papers contain concerns about “Caesars” and individuals who would “flatter the prejudices of the people” as anticipating leaders who appeal to emotions over reason.
I certainly hope we are all clearheaded enough to spot a politician who would try to do those things.
Just because a country’s history is flawed, doesn’t mean it should be ignored. Or worse, removed from the curriculum because it might upset little Johnny.
Yes, enjoy your freedoms. If it helps to not think about the necks we stood on to achieve it, fine. Whatever gets you though the night.
That may be true. But I am not crazy about ignoring that flawed history.
There are some right wing groups who want to erase those flaws from history text books (they think it may upset their delicate progeny), but I say embrace those flaws. It’s the only way to ensure we won’t repeat them.
The continent is America. The country is the United States. Canada and Mexico are, in fact, part of the continent of North America.
Did you not have basic geography?
There is also no country called Africa and no country called Asia.
It doesn’t matter what nonsense comes out of your mouth.
There is a country “called” America and it’s not Canada or Mexico.
Those are some compelling debate skills there my erudite friend.
We live on the continent of North America. The term United States of America refers to the fact that we are the United States of the continent called America.
I’m sorry that upsets you but it certainly can’t be something you’re just now learning.
And you’re right, Canada and Mexico are definitely not the US. They are probably happier about that these days than they ever have been.
What a great country! Happy 4th!!!
Man, this is a great time. We have a man running the country like one of his many many, um, many failed businesses. We have 90 trade deals in 90 days!!! Well not 90 but close to 90. At last count there were 2. And there aren’t very good deals. But hey, we are the best! We have a man who finally released all the information on the Epstein case! Yes! Um well it looks like there may be someone’s name in that file that the current admin doesn’t want the public to know about. Or, I guess it’s possible that Maxwell and Epstein were trafficking minors to, um, no one? That seems a bit unlikely. Ah but who cares? The man is a genius. The Russian Ukraine war? Over. Well it’s not over exactly, in fact it’s gotten much worse. But at lease we aren’t getting involved with foreign, um, well never mind about that. We are finally deporting all the farm workers, busboys, landscapers, and, oh man… Groceries! We have cheaper groceries finally. Well they are currently more expensive but there is the concept of a plan to um, well…
Omg how could I have voted for this incompetent *****?
Happy 4th everyone. Let’s celebrate the courage it took for this fledgling country to stand up to one of the largest empires. Let’s celebrate the inconceivable intellect and depth of knowledge required by the founders to pen the enduring constitution.
How to celebrate such an elite group of courageous intellectuals? Let’s hold a UFC fight at the White House so a self indulgent moron can pretend he isn’t a soft, swaddled, silver spoon man baby.
Boy have we sunk to the depths of depravity, hypocrisy, and irony.
Happy Fourth of July everyone!

My country tis of thee, sweet land of liberty of thee I sing,
Land of the Pilgrims pride …..
HAPPY BIRTHDAY USA! 🎆
No mention of the Americans who were living here prior to the ‘pilgrims pride’. You know, the ones that were displaced in the name of sweet greed.
No country has a flawless history!
Aretha sang this song at OBama’s inauguration. . A beautiful rendition…
No country has a flawless history. Celebrate all our freedoms..

America Now,
America Tomorrow,
America Forever!!!
Amen!
Technically your dubious patriotic slogan should be:
‘United States’ forever!
‘’America’ is the name of the continent and is made up of Canada, the US, Mexico, and all the central and southern America countries.
Unless you were cheering on all those countries. Which would be kinda sweet.
There is only one country in the world that is called AMERICA and it’s not Canada or Mexico.
The continent is America. The country is the United States. Canada and Mexico are, in fact, part of the continent of North America.
