#10  Iggy, I don't know the 'Burgers personally, but I've lurked here quite a bit, for quite a while. Trust me, they're on this. You're heckling Cagney playing Cohan singing "Yankee Doodle Dandy" for saying "born on the 4th of July" instead of "born on Independence Day." Happy whichever, though!

#9  We don't. You're being pedantic.

#8  You are also not stupid liberals. Point is to remind them what the 4th is really all about.

You all seems to miss the point.

#7  It's because Americans have long remembered the 'Fourth' as the day of independence. Been doing that for over a couple of hundred years.

So yes - lighten up, Francis.

#4  I take it you're not an American?

What would you call it? "Happy Fireworks Day"? "Happy grilled hamburger and hotdog day"? Happy let's be a liberal and "Ignore the meaning of Independence Day"?

Oh wait, since you're not an American, I guess you would call it "Happy death to America Day"?

Seriously, what's with you?

#2  You mean "Happy Independence Day"?

You don't go around saying "Happy 25th of December"?

We are celebrating the day the Declaration of Independence was signed, not the day itself.

Cheers!

#1  We have the good fortune to live in the greatest country in the world. Happy Fourth of July, the Day the Declaration of Independence was adopted by the Second Continental Congress in Philadelphia proclaiming the independence and sovereignty of the thirteen colonies from the kingdom of Great Britain.

Text of the Declaration of Independence.
