Someone who I was friends with a long time ago posted the following on his Facebook wall:

"Today we celebrate the fact that rich white slave owners wanted to be free to not pay taxes. Happy Birthday America."

He's a typical lefty and the reason why typical lefties are just as foolish and moronic as typical righties. I say this as from my perspective from the left. The above statement is filled with so much ignorance that it literally makes me sick.

Lest we forget, the roots of American independence lie within taxation without representation. I understand the desire to lash out, but lash out intelligently and in an informed fashion.

Happy Independence Day. Free to speak, enslaved by enlightenment, just the way it should be.
