Though it became a federal holiday only in 1941, Americans have been celebrating Independence Day since the colonies broke away from the British crown.
As we noted on Monday, most of us consider ourselves to be either "Extremely" or "Very" proud to be Americans.
A mere 6% of the country said it was not proud to be an American.
Sixty-four percent of Democrats, who hold majorities in the White House and U.S. House, share power in the Senate, and truly dominate the media, and the entertainment industry and culture, say they're proud to be Americans.
Nearly nine in 10 over 65 are proud to be Americans.
The day before the Fourth, the New York Times, overflowing with politicized stories and opinion pieces it knows its readers are hungry for, published an article headlined "A Fourth of July Symbol of Unity That May No Longer Unite."
Democrat Rep. Cori Bush of Missouri tweeted that "When they say that the 4th of July is about American freedom, remember this: the freedom they're referring to is for White people. This land is stolen land and Black people still aren't free."
