Independence Day
Mark Davis at Strike the Root - This Independence Day, be patriotic by declaring your independence from the national socialists who have taken over your country. [root]
It is the duty of the patriot to protect his country from his government. ~ Thomas Paine
Independence Day is my favorite holiday because it celebrates the Natural Right to secede from political entities. It is also celebrated by getting together with friends to enjoy grilling a variety of meats and vegetables, boating and related water sports, playing with the kids in the pool and tipping a few beers among other activities done just for fun. Don't forget the fireworks. Unlike religious holidays and holidays that celebrate state myths, political debate is socially acceptable at these gatherings on Independence Day. I submit for discussion on this Independence Day the difference between patriotism and nationalism.
