God Bless America.  God Bless free men and women everywhere.  Heck, God Bless everyone else too.  Well, really, especially everyone else.

red - for the blood that was shed to earn the freedom
White - for the purity and peace after attaining freedom
blue - for loyalty, tradition, honor, justice

and of course, the Gold border on the true colors, signifying grandeur and prosperity.

Truly the darkest day in mankind has come, since today the British Empire began its descent. It all started on this day, this sad sad day.  :(

The British Empire had not reached its peak yet, at that time.
The descent probably began a little before the Great War.

 It was among one of our first losses, and probably the biggest if you think about it (Although that might be taken by India due to some other technicalities).
actually, America was a drain on our resources and economies at that time, so it isn't that much of a loss
Considering the events that succeeded that, if Great Britain had held onto the thirteen colonies they very well might have eventually claimed all of North America, if not more.

But that shall remain speculative until destructive time travel is invented.

The 4th of July; when we deliberately simulate being bombarded specifically to gloat about how long its been since that last happened.

Rules like "stop killing Jews in gas chambers" or "quit forcing Koreans into prostitution" seem reasonable enough.

Yes, but rules like "We don't like how you do this, so let us run in and run everything." aren't. Our government isn't a shining example of good and decency in the world.

Well, considering we are the longest lasting republic government in the past century, you gotta give us some credit.

Yes, but we also are hated by a large majority of the world.

Only some of that hate is justified. I for one do not care if we are disliked by, say, authoritarian, totalitarian, oppressive, dictatorships that look at human rights like most people look at Mein Kampf. In fact, that's probably a good thing.

Winning a popularity contest isn't worth anything in world affairs. Contrary to what you might believe, there is no diplomatic victory in this game.

What I would like to do one of these 4th of Julys:
Set off a bucket of thermite on top of a box of fireworks. Best pyrotechnics display ever. Only evidence left is a smoldering crater and glass (if done on the beach).

Spoiler: Wait a moment... (click to show/hide)

You sure dragged your feet to start enforcing that first rule, though.
