Our favorite political commentator/naked cook/stripper/nitwit is at it again, this time wishing the world a Happy Independence Day. Yes, the world, not just the US. See, according to His Fake Tan Majesty, the world should really rejoice ever so much in America having been gifted to it, so it could just improve everyone's quality of life.

His arguments, to be sure, are spotty. Let's examine one paragraph:

[...] Would the maps look differently if America decided it had enough of the intervention doctrine and sat out of World War Two? Would pirates still be sailing around the Mediterranean if our Navy and Marines had not existed? Would parts of the world be converting to the control of an Islamic Caliphate if it were not for our military thwarting the desires of extremists? Would the United Nations be able to function without the contributions of the United States?

Okay, let's take this one by one. The US got into WW II because of Pearl Harbor, not just because they felt like being nice. As far as I know, the US Navy never intervened in the Mediterranean to rid it of pirates. There hasn't been a Caliphate for quite some time, and it looks like US intervention is actually fueling extremism in Afghanistan, Irak or Iran. And finally, the US routinely pays its dues to the UN about a year late, if not more, forcing a lot of agencies to rely on private contributors to keep the cash flowing.

The rest of his post is along the same lines. The world would be such a sad, sad place, had everything in it not been invented by Americans, including cameras(?), satellites(?), vaccines(?), the list goes on, attributing everything but tap water to American ingenuity.

I will pass on the fact the boy clearly does not know the difference between "it's" and "its" and cut to the post's conclusion:

I am not wishing others a Happy Fourth of July. I want to wish everyone a Happy Independence Day. It’s not an American holiday any longer. Its because of our Independence that everyone in this world should be told.... “Happy Independence Day!”

See, "Brat Boy", this is exactly the kind of immodesty people find so irritating. Happy Fourth indeed, and America really is great, but you ain't helping.
