If America is so bad, leave.

Ungrateful, subversive third-world trash.

Fuck off.

Awesome song and video.

On this day in 1776, the United States was actually born. Not July 4. July 2. That's the day the Continental Congress voted to break from Britain, and John Adams was so certain of it that he predicted July 2 would be the great American holiday forever. He nailed everything except the date.

The vote came down to the wire, and one man had to ride through the night to save it. Delaware's delegation was split, one for independence, one against, which meant the colony's vote canceled itself out. The tie-breaker, Caesar Rodney, was 80 miles away in Delaware. He got word that he was needed and rode all night through a summer thunderstorm, sick and in pain, boots and spurs still on, and made it into Philadelphia just in time to cast Delaware's vote for independence.

The other holdouts fell into place too. In Pennsylvania, the men most opposed, including John Dickinson, deliberately stayed away from the chamber so their colony could swing to yes. South Carolina came around for the sake of a united front. When the roll was called, twelve colonies voted for independence and not a single one voted against. New York simply abstained, waiting on permission from home.

And so, on July 2, 1776, it was done. The colonies had legally, officially declared themselves free. The next day Adams wrote to his wife Abigail that this day "will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival," with "pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations." Fireworks and all. He was describing the Fourth of July two days early.

So why do we celebrate the 4th? Because that's the day Congress approved the final wording of the document explaining the decision, the Declaration of Independence. The vote to be free happened on the 2nd. The paperwork got finished on the 4th, and history remembered the paperwork.

The country was actually born in a rainstorm and a roll call on July 2, thanks in part to one sick man who refused to let a tie decide the fate of a nation.

🚨 REP. WESLEY HUNT (R-TX) just gave the PERFECT response:

Q: There won't be any black Republicans left in the House?

HUNT: "It's not relevant."

"I'm not here because I'm black."

"I am here because I am a qualified representative for Congressional District 38."

"The American people choose who they want to choose."

"I don't want to get into this game of RACE BAIT all day, every day."

"If there's 4? If there's 10? If there's NONE."

"I represent a white majority district that President Trump would have won by over 20 points, and I won by over 25 points."

"I'm being judged not by the color of my skin, but the content of my character."

🚨 KING CHARLES DROPS RED-PILLED TRUTH IN CONGRESS!

"And Mr. Speaker, for many here — and for myself — the Christian faith is a firm anchor and daily inspiration..."

BOOM. The chamber erupts in applause.

King Charles kept going: “...that guides us not only personally but together as members of our community. Having been devoted to a large part of my life to interfaith relationships and greater understanding, it is that faith in the triumph of light over darkness which I have found confirmed countless times.”

WE ARE A CHRISTIAN NATION!
