Although the 4^th of July commemorates the signing of the Declaration of Independence, it's rather ironic that nobody signed it that day. Most of the signers signed it on July 2^nd, and others signed it well after. The Fourth of July is when the Declaration was publicly proclaimed, but IIRC, no one actually signed it that day.

I wonder if some don't celebrate the 4th because The Declaration of Independence was an act of disobedience to British government. Sort of made bad Christians out the American Revolutionaries, at least by the definition of some.

Oh, and what's up with all that mentioning of God in the document? Were they trying to set up a theocracy?

During his radio broadcast the other day, Sean Hannity had a reporter seek out people on the street so that he could ask them what the July Fourth holiday was all about. All of the interviewees expressed considerable ignorance as to the holiday’s significance. One woman, who identified herself as a kindergarten teacher, explained that the holiday was to celebrate the declaration of our independence from France. In response to questions from Hannity, she said that that Abraham Lincoln wrote the Declaration of Independence and that the war that we fought for our independence was known as World War I.

I had no idea that a quarter of our population was made of illegals.
