But looking around me on July 4th in 2012, thinking about what America has become, I got the sickening feeling that Independence Day has changed because our country has changed. We are America in name only. We have become a nation of non-Americans. Populated with people that have no historic, emotional, language, ancestral or cultural ties to 4th of July, just a place to get government cheese!!!

I'm afraid that your post has the ring of truth. The liberals long ago stopped the in-depth teaching of American history in our schools and that turned the tide. Sadly, so many people have no sense of what it means to be an American.
FWIW, I have been conducting a little survey amongst bank tellers and store cashiers. I would say that fewer than five percent recognize the face on the $10 bill, and when told who it is, all I get a blank look. That tells me all I need to know about education levels in the USA.

( "it's" is the contraction of either "it is" or "it has"; "its" is the possessive pronoun)
