Today millions of Americans will take a day off work, watch a parade, light up the Bar-B-Q, or shoot off fireworks, but virtually none of them knows why.
In theory, America commemorates the unveiling of the Declaration of Independence, but in reality, nobody believes what that document stands for.
"The Spirit of '76" signifies a belief that any government which becomes as powerful as the British government under King George III (1738-1820) is a "tyranny," and we have a duty to abolish it.
There can be no debate or doubt that government under George W. the 43rd is more oppressive than the government indicted in the Declaration of Independence. It takes ten times as much in taxes, and uses that money to fund institutions and policies which would appall and horrify the Signers of the Declaration of Independence.
Yet only a handful of Americans consider it a "tyranny," and only a fraction of those who complain about it take any practical steps to abolish it.
The 4th of July, then, is a day of Great National Hypocrisy.
But then, a number of legal scholars have pointed out that the government created by America's Founding Fathers was abolished decades ago, and replaced with an "Administrative State."
And the United States of America is being abolished anyway, as we speak, and merged with Mexico to form a "North American Community," or "United States of North America." Most voters love the great national hymn, "America the Beautiful." The architects of the "North American Community" want us to sing "North America the Beautiful" instead, to quote the title of an op-ed piece from the Wall Street Journal in support of the plan.
For those who love the ideal of "Liberty Under God," the 4th of July turns out to be a day of mourning rather than celebration.
