| You nationalists should stop embarassing the US by acting like fools. Just because you're a racist bigot, keep it to yourself!!! (I guess you kind of do since your only social life is online) |

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!
I would like to wish a happy 4th of July to all Americans in Korea.
On July 4th, 1776, our great nation was born.
That event changed the world forever for the better.
Though we are abroad and far away from the USA, we should never forget the importance of that day, and of the great sacrifice of those men and women who fought for our country's freedom and independence from tyranny and repression.
Below is some interesting info about what happened to those 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence.
HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!

4th of July and Patriotism
Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the
Declaration of Independence?
Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before
they died.
Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. Two lost their sons
serving in the Revolutionary Army; another had two sons captured.
Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the
Revolutionary War.
They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred
honor.
What kind of men were they?
Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were merchants, nine were
farmers and large plantation owners; men of means, well educated. But
they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that
the penalty would be death if they were captured.
Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his ships
swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and
properties to pay his debts, and died in rags.
Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to
move his family almost constantly. He served in the Congress without
pay, and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from
him, and poverty was his reward.
Vandals or soldiers looted the properties of Dillery, Hall, Clymer, Walton,
Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton.
At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson Jr., noted that the British
General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his
headquarters. He quietly urged General George Washington to open fire.
The home was destroyed, and Nelson died bankrupt.
Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed
his wife, and she died within a few months.
John Hart was driven from his wife's bedside as she was dying. Their 13
children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill were laid to waste.
For more than a year he lived in forests and caves, returning home to
find his wife dead and his children vanished. A few weeks later he died
from exhaustion and a broken heart.
Norris and Livingston suffered similar fates. Such were the stories and
sacrifices of the American Revolution. These were not wild-eyed, rabble-
rousing ruffians. They were soft-spoken men of means and education.
They had security, but they valued liberty more.
Standing tall, straight, and unwavering, they pledged:
"For the support of this declaration, with firm reliance on the protection of
the divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other, our lives, our
fortunes, and our sacred honor."
They gave you and me a free and independent America. The history
books never told you a lot about what happened in the Revolutionary
War. We didn't fight just the British.
We were British subjects at that time and we fought our own
government! Some of us take these liberties so much for granted, but we
shouldn't. So, take a few minutes while enjoying your 4th of July holiday
and silently thank these patriots. It's not much to ask for the price they
paid. Remember: freedom is never free!
It's time we get the word out that patriotism is NOT a sin, and the Fourth
of July has more to it than beer, picnics, and baseball games.
Thank you and God bless. |

Does carrying that chip on your shoulder get tiring after awhile? Did you know that quite a few blacks fought for the British? |

Neither were women, asians, hispanics, the innuit, native americans, the survivin south americans, aboriginals, uh, and everyone else.
The FOunding Fathers did a great thing, a very bold thing and it was a brave thing. Giving the proverbial finger to the most powerful military in the world always takes guts (no matter who that powerful military may be these days). This doesnt mean they were saints by any stretch of the imagination.
Personally I feel quite sorry for the people who dont feel pride in their countries. Everyone's country has done some great things and its only natural to feel, in your heart that your country is the best.
Jingoism is not an admirable trait, but neither is trying to tear down another country/culture because you feel so darn inferior or insecure. |

The first post is ridiculous. At least as far as the Americans over here, there are a lot more people ashamed of their country than self-righteous and nationalistic about it. There is a hell of a lot more America-bashing than there is celebrating it. There are a hell of a lot more anti-America than pro-America people over here, from every country including America.
So now the new thing are people who can't get enough of pissing all over America that they have to contend Americans are TOO NATIONALISTIC?
You've got to be kidding me. Doesn't this s--t EVER get old?? |
