I am reminded of a "trick question" I was asked by my grandfather when I was a kid. "Does England have a 4th of July?"
My answer was no. My grandfather told me that "of course they have a 4th of July. They just don't celebrate INDEPENDENCE DAY like we do."
"...people forget this or are simply ignorant of the history."
Sadly, the "history" being taught today pushes an idea that our Founding Fathers were EVIL SLAVE OWNING men and should NEVER be celebrated. What they fail to recognize is that if it were not for those "evil" men, they wouldn't be able to say such things. If I'm not mistaken, it is SILL illegal for British people to speak against the crown/government.
I do my best to correct people when they start spouting falsehoods of our Constitution, government and the intentions of the Founding Fathers. Almost 250 years later, a large number of people are clueless as to exactly how things are SUPPOSED to be in our government and society.
