No Booms. Nice thought however.
In proud redneck tradition I got really drunk then set off fireworks and fired my shotgun next to a bonfire. Its a family tradition, been doing it since I was old enough to lift a double barrel in hand without spilling the beer in the other.
Happy Birthday USA…
{If} “1776” Then
{400 more years}
ElseIf {Divided We Fall}
Or some such stuff…
🙂
The above code was written in Virtual DumbA$$… But still, Happy B-Day USA!!!
What happened to calling it Independence Day John?
Happy belated Canada Day hosers.
Happy Independence Day from England!
Now let’s work on Independence from … Corporate Masters? Military Complex? China? Religo-Network?
No fireworks in my town….we’re broke. Oh well, not feeling very patriotic these days anyhoo.
#5. Maybe it should be changed to co-dependence day.
Nobody has ever celebrated “colonisation day”. A peaceful and happy Independance Day to all the DU readers in The United States of America.
Here in Thailand we celebrated by holding much anticipated elections. The people have elected the politically virginal sister of the prime minister who was overthrown by the military a few years ago (and who now lives an exiled billionaire’s life in Dubai.)
Extended 4th of July celebrations will probably include riots in Bangkok, several deaths and and overthrow of the government by a military pledged not to do so.
Saddle up, boys. Might be some fun up ahead.
It still amazes me that Americans thinks they live in a free country. It is the worlds most oppressive police state.
Happy Birthday, U.S.A.!
Ok, let’s get this argument started:
Where in the Constitution does it allow the Federal government to declare a day as a “national holiday”, then demand that all employers either pay their employees to not work, or pay them time-and-a-half for just doing their jobs?
chuck–like everything else anyone doesn’t like: general welfare clause and the commerce clause. Easy Peasey.
If you are like me and haven’t bought fireworks in years, or even stopped at those stands to look around, here are some pictures of fireworks package labeling. Some good pics.

#14 – ok, in that case – what DOESNT the general welfare and commerce clause cover?
In other words, is there anything that the government is prevented from doing?
The consent/acquiescence of the governed controls all. You know all this. That bored?
Happy 4th everyone. Have fun and stay safe.
I always follow my mother’s advice:
“For a wonderful fourth, drink a fifth on the third.”
