It's not called America Day

So today, I've heard people saying "Happy America Day" and the like. That just sat wrong with me, so this is what I have to say about it:
Too many people are calling today, "America Day". It's not; today is Independence Day. Today is about celebrating our freedom. Patriotism on the other hand, doesn't need a special day to be celebrated; it should be celebrated every day. 236 years ago this day, brave men defied an unjust government to create a better one. That is what should be celebrated today.
Part of me is thinking, if a trend starts where people call the 4th of July, "America Day", they'll be more inclined to have a blind faith in America no matter what happens to America, but if people call the 4th of July, Independence Day, they'll be more inclined to believe in the idea of freedom from tyranny - which is why those men signed a piece of parchment called the Declaration of Independence.
// I over-analyze stuff and people.
I love America, but my love is not blind.

I did not hear "america day" but I bet I know where it originated. Thus the lack of capital letters.
bonammas Constitution Thugs have have raped & shredded it. Now they start on the Declaration of Independance w/ the end desire to put us under one world rule.
I am not making a very good socialist.
OK I will go to my room.

Don't worry, it'll be sorted out by Turkey Day or X-Mas.

Never heard it referred to that way, but...
"america day" would include Canada, Mexico, the other Central American countries and all of South America. They're all "americas"

I receive daily newsletters in my email inbox from Patriot Post. If any of you do not receive these, you really
should. They contain the clearest arguments in favor of essential libery I've ever seen. In yesterday's email, there was included a letter from an American officer currently serving in a war zone—presumably Afghanistan, but I think for that officer's career security his name and location have been omitted:
"As an officer who faces combat challenges daily, and who has experienced my share of heartache in defense of our great nation in accordance with my oath, it pains me to see our elected 'leaders' so willfully defy their oaths to support our Constitution. But, war has taught me that we just take today at our best, because we never know what tomorrow will bring.
"The seemingly insurmountable battle to salvage what is left of American Liberty simply means God will provide a great movement and great leaders to get the job done in His timing. While we may see no solution, it's undoubtedly already in the making and I can only pray that He continues to use me in His service, along with all the other great Americans Patriots across our country.
"Battles would not be great and triumphant if they were easy. The more the Left undermines Rule of Law, the more glorious the reconstitution and restoration will be, the mightier the battle, and the mightier the men who will fight it. I simply pray that I continue to grow to fight that war, just as I am fighting this one, and that God preserves me to do so. God provided us with the means and the personal example to triumph over the greatest of evils, He has provided us with the solutions to our own problems, we simply must trust it is within His plan.
"Keep fighting the good fight, do not despair on the 4th of July, but celebrate that Providence provided us with the greatest blueprint for governments among men in 1789, with the spirit of 1776. As Alexander Hamilton said, 'The sacred rights of mankind are not to be rummaged for among old parchments or musty records. They are written, as with a sunbeam, in the whole volume of human nature, by the Hand of Divinity itself, and can never be erased or obscured by mortal power.' Our rights are only referenced by the Declaration, but endowed by our Creator, and as such, are self-evident. Obama cannot erase them and long after we are dead and gone, the rights of man will be preserved in the essence of God's creation available only through reflection in His gift of reason. Evil ultimately will not prevail -- we are blueprinted with Victory."
Now that is a man with a clear vision, which I share wholeheartedly. I only wish that our "leaders" (as he calls them in quote marks as well) were so similarly endowed.

You are correct & this is the full intent of the Marxist Left.
