It's sad how easy it is to manipulate the general public through NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) and the Delphi method.
No wonder why we are in so much trouble.
I heard Lt Allen say it yesterday on Hannity. “Happy Independence Day”
Oh yeah.
I celebrate Independence Day.
Kind of feels like, instead of a nation’s birthday celebration, this year feels like a funeral of a nation (to me, anyway).
This isn’t “My America”.....
Maybe 2 generations ago it was...but this...this “thing”...this “beast” of an America that exists now is about the most shameful nation to have existed since Sodom.
That one guy who said 50 something stars on the American Flag was confused because of our dumb President. The others........well I think some of it is staged but it is hilarious.
I like the Italian tourist knew more than anyone else,
It’s the day the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor.
It’s the anniversary of putting a man on Mars.
That is not correct. Americans know exactly why and how the 4th of July is celebrated. However, Americans are getting fewer and fewer as each year passes. The people who now live here may not know, but they are not necessarily Americans. Merely living in the United States does not make one an American. Being an American is a state of mind.
The above is my opinion and my opinion only. Others may differ.
And don’t forget, these people vote.
Most idiots think history started Jan 20 2009.
I don’t know why we still celebrate it either.
“...in San Diego, California”
That’s your problem.
I now observe the 4th of July as a day of nostalgia for a nation that no longer exists.
maybe the dept of education should create ads for history and put it on youtube or start a tweet campaign...
I would bet dollars to donuts the morons who got the question wrong would all say Cinco De Mayo is Mexican independence day.
Well, it’s my birthday...

The Constitution if the United States has been thrown asunder and the People could not care less.
Funny how the term Constitutional Crisis was raised when Nixon was forced to Resign and Clinton was Impeached.
Haven’t heard that phrase mentioned once since the SCOTUS eviscerated the Tenth Amendment and lit the fuse to destroying the First Amendment’s guarantees of Free Speech and Religious Liberty.
If you pay attention, it becomes clear that a once Free People are willing to sell out their Country and their fellow Citizens to promote their Political ideology, the Constitution be damned. The ends do justify the means.
I would relish them asking these People about Inalienable Rights. None of them would have a clue.
Heck, People actually believe that the phrase “Separation of Church and State” is written in the Constitution. When you tell them it was the Brainchild of FDR’s first Appointment to the SCOTUS, a former Klansman and Democrat, they would refuse to believe you.
I think it is quite Ironic that in the Information age, where anything you need to do is just a few taps on a Keyboard away, that Ignorance of our History and the tenets of our Founding is so widespread.
Without Ignorance, Liberalism would cease to exist.
