Happy Independence Day - July 4, 1776
On July 4, 1776, the 13 colonies claimed their independence from England, an event which eventually led to the formation of the United States.
Stand UP...and cheer. Get your patriotism back!

It's jingoistic to wish people a Happy 4th?

That's not very nice at all, just because Margie loves the USA doesn't mean she has disdain for every other nation on earth. I've been to many countries where people proudly display their flag or profess the love of their country routinely. Jamaica really jumps out, everywhere you look you see green, yellow and black. Does that make them jingoists? Hell no, they just love their land.

Sorry, but your post directly following mine and your wording certainly did imply that you were referring to me.
So, just exactly who were you referring to...specifically, on this 4th of July? Who are the aggressive screaming meemies advocating for the use of threats or force against some foreign policy to safeguard national interests?
Liberal cognitive functioning...

I am with you Margie....God bless us every one. Hope you and yours have a joyous day.
We don't want to fight but by Jingo if we do
We've got the ships, we've got the men' we've got the money too
We've fought the bear before, and while we're Britons true
The Russians shall not have Constantinople.
MacDermott's War Song

Someone said:
"Wish I could turn the hands of time back to when our nation was united. This song takes me back to that time, a time when our government wasn't so preoccupied with tearing the nation apart at the seams. A time when you never heard anyone say that they weren't proud to be an American; a time when cops weren't spit on and ambushed, but instead, were respected and appreciated. A time when George Orwell's "1984" was just a work of fiction, not actual everyday life. Those days are gone, I'm much afraid, and I don't think we shall see them return. This nation is rapidly losing its greatness, its direction, and it's rapidly approaching its demise. History demonstrates that Republics only have a life-span of about 200 years before they begin to decay and crumble. How sad to see the greatest nation that ever existed in known history, slowly wither and die. Thank you Home Free, for your beautiful rendition of what has become a song of patriotic nostalgia, and a reminder of better days in this nation. God bless you all."
Are these YOUNG men the type of people that you had in mind, 46silly?

Leave it to you to trash a thread regarding a day of celebration.
There was a time I had a great deal more respect for you. You seem to be following a pattern that many on the left have taken. Take it to the limit.

You're wasting your time and breath on him. He's very likely in the Cuomo camp that says "America was never great."
