It's so gross and patriotic and I hate patriotism because I'm a liberal.
So you know. The 4th of July, it's gotta go. Who's with me?????

11. Down the British!
I remember the scene in The Great Escape where Steve McQueen and a few of the other American POWs threw an Independence Day party. The majority of the camp who were British, Australian, etc. looked on in bemusement.

- What is it?
- They're celebrating the revolution!

Nice touch there because of course most Brits in 1943 probably have never seen that day celebrated.

Then this toast between a couple of officers:

- To the colonies.
- Independence!
- How are you managing over there without us? Getting along all right, are you? :rofl:

But, of course, the entire camp was officers. Per the convention, officers had to be treated somewhat nicely. Enlisted men got sent to work camps.

10. I like the way you think!!! And after that, Easter!
Soon, my friend, we will have the United Secular States of America, where all Christians are banished and only we godless heathens and (jewsmuslimshindusbuddhistseverythingelse) will reign!!!

13. And just to rub it in their faces...
...Sunday will be replaced with Satanday!

But we can't just banish Christmas. We have to declare outright WAR on it! A preemptive strike, before Christmas has a chance to strike us first!

*narrows his eyes towards a group of pine trees* Yeah, I been watching you...

14. Because of the fire hazard of fireworks,
I think July 4th should be moved to January.
I have nothing against patriotism, it's jingoism
that I can't stand.
