Or it could be said the second Great thing for our country that happened on July 4th. Pick your spin.

“Yes, but England was the driving force behind colonization and subjection of distant lands.. just as they always were in the past, as in the cases of Ireland, Scotland, India, etc.

Besides, it’s really hard to hate the Scottish or the Irish. They’re just cool folks.”

Thanks for the compliment!

Though, on the other hand, we Irish and the Scottish made up a disproportionate amount of the forces of the Empire…

I work at a National Park, and we had so many visitors on the 4th. I wish it was more consistent, but it’s nice to see patariotic people out there!

“I hope you all had a good day, but please remember - the United States gained its independence from the United Kingdom (or Great Britain, Britian) NOT England.”

Yes, but England was the driving force behind colonization and subjection of distant lands.. just as they always were in the past, as in the cases of Ireland, Scotland, India, etc.

Besides, it’s really hard to hate the Scottish or the Irish. They’re just cool folks.

Oh god…moonbats celebrating the 4th of july. You just couldn’t stop whining about 2000 & 2004 election results for one day could ya? Look, Bush is not the anti-christ. You think you can do better, run for office will ya? I am looking forward to november — finally, the wishy-washy liberals will have to DEFEND an incompetent president, instead of attack one

“Not quite! To be technical the United Kingdom did not exist until the 1800 Act of Union. The United States won its independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain.”

I’ve never heard “Kingdom of Great Britain” used officially before. The text of the 1707 Act of Union only refers to the “United Kingdom of Great Britain”. That makes sense to me, as an act of ‘Union’ results in the parties concerned being ‘United’.

Two things: 1) That Jesse Helms died on the Fourth of July surely established and affirmed his greatness as a conservative in our Republican sphere; and 2) Remember that “the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God” apply to evolutionists too.
