Happy 236th Birthday, America!

Thanks.

Awesome video. Happy 4th my American friends. We Canadians have much to be grateful for in your friendship.

I fear that your "early" values are being erroded by those who do not appreciate the fundamental effect that those values have had and continue to have on your society.

You reeeeeaaallly need to vote wisely this coming November. I doubt that America, with its present direction, can withstand another 4 years of the same. You would come out of that badly wounded.

Good luck and God bless.

Wonder how Mr. Rockwell would vote?

As a resident of the Lower 48, thank you for those wonderful videos!

a different bob, I second that motion.

Surprised that they let the Flag touch the ground. Quite surprised in fact. Thought the other parachutist was going to be on the ground to gather it up. Not

I hope our American friends can find something to celebrate today but it is also a day to mourn the loss of the republic

The following are 70 reasons to mourn for America….
1. Most Americans know much more about Kim Kardashian than they do about the Federal Reserve.
2. The way that the TSA abuses travelers is a national embarrassment. One TSA agent recently sifted her finger through the ashes of someone’s dead grandfather and then spilled his ashes all over the airport floor.
3. Many young people in America are willing to wait in line to pay a 400% markup on new Kanye West sneakers, but most of those same young people cannot even tell you how many members of Congress there are.
4. Many Americans seem to be far more interested in American Idol and Dancing With The Stars than they are in dealing with the very serious economic, political and moral problems facing this nation.
5. A recent survey found that 61 percent of all Americans believe that “paying your fair share of taxes” is being patriotic.
6. We currently have the worst president in U.S. history, and there is a chance that we may have to endure another 4 years of his insanity.
7. We have a Supreme Court that appears to have very little respect for the U.S. Constitution.
8. The financial center of our country, Wall Street, is full of psychopaths.
9. America has the highest incarceration rate and the largest total prison population in the entire world by a very wide margin.
10. The highways of America are rapidly being turned into a high tech prison grid.
11. American children today are very spoiled, very undisciplined and most of them wouldn’t know a day of hard work if it came up and bit them on the behind.
12. Today, approximately 25 million American adults are still living with their parents.
13. Back in 1962, only 13 percent of all Americans were obese. Today, approximately 36 percent of all Americans are obese.

15. According to one recent survey, only 25 percent of all Americans have 6 months of emergency savings stored up.
16. The United States leads the world in credit card fraud.
17. You know that things are bad in America when even the U.S. Secret Service has developed “an Animal House reputation” for partying wildly while guarding Barack Obama during his vacations on Martha’s Vineyard.
18. In many areas of the country crime is getting worse and thieves are stealing just about anything that is not bolted down.
19. One recent poll found that only 70 percent of Americans agree with the Declaration of Independence.

21. There are more school shootings in America than anywhere else in the world.
