July 3 and July 4

MrFun, beyond any southerner I've met, you have a total inability to give up the civil war.

You don't need to fight any more, Yankee. It ended 150 years ago.

When we rise again, I'll call you and let you know to get back to the Union cheerleading

Actually, here is a picture maybe most have not seen

Colonel Jeb Stuart, hearing his Calvary could surprise and overtake the Union Army at Annandale,Virginia attack En Masse'

Later, as the Confederate Calvary lie dying, it was recorded and save on archived print to a truth in reporting:

Sgt. Simple Southerner we rode hard and we had 400 or more Calvary..we run over dat dar heel and we just nu we had dem Yankee B@$t@rd$, but it was too late..dem Yankees had set a trap

Fine -- you stop remembering World War I and World War II. If you want, you can stop treasuring the victories of the good in ALL of our wars.

In the meantime, I will do my share of celebrating the preservation of the United States and solemnly remember the Union soldiers who gave their lives for their country.

Aside: I'm curious why was the fourth decided as the holiday. From what I've read "the president" of the originial continental congress signed the declaration of independence on the third. Then it was sent out to be embossed most of the signatures weren't affixed until August.

So my question is when was the 4th decided as the holiday.

maybe it was prorated?

even though it took that long they may have decided to make it retro-active from the 4th?

Ah, yes, July 4. Independence Day. A perfect time to bring up the Civil War.

Yes Dan the Band wagon slowed and a few got on

“I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”

Indeed we declared Independance from England

probably because of the hot tea issue

~yuck~

How bad is your reading comprehension? In the OP, I already explained how July 4 is related to the Civil War, and why I personally also celebrate July 3.

The irony is most humourous though.

I've found a picture of MrFun!



He's actually Saturday Night Live's Debbie Downer!

And here's to our kick-ass revolution that let the world know that "divine right of monarchs" was/is bullsh!t.
