No matter how many things are wrong with this nation, Independence Day is not a time for cynicism and pessimism.

Celebrate America, and celebrate it hard.

Because the 4th of July is NOT about supporting this government or blind patriotism.

Independence Day is about the rebel American spirit that gave a big middle finger to the government oppressors.

Yes, the government will try to take this holiday and make it about them. But true rebels know, this holiday is as anti-government as they come.

Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The equality of all human beings, regardless of race religion, or NATIONALITY.

The right to dissolve the political ties that bind us in favor of a better unanimous organization of society.

These are these self-evident truths made explicit in the Declaration of Independence that we celebrate today.
