July 4th is practically sacred, so on this holiday, they can't come right out and call America a racist imperialist abomination without looking like total creeps.
Or can they? Yep. No problem, attack fireworks. That's a good proxy. It's the esthetics, you know. Scott Lemieux hates 'em. Freaking boring. And he gets a big rah rah from ... wait for it ... Matthew Yglesias! At least you can catch a good party! Their inspiration is Slate (where else), "Fireworks Suck: They Really Do."
I don't like fireworks. A lot of noise. Scares my animals.(scares small children too)
I don't like clowns either. So what.
I am still stuck with both.

I love being an American today. But, my feelings about independence day are a little different because my family was NOT free that day. Took almost 200 more years for that to become a reality. Just like that bogus Columbus Day and Thanksgiving for that matter.
Living in the past is not very "progressive" now is it?
That says more about you then any political party or politician in power.
How so?
