Dear America,

Happy birthday, you courageous old bastard, you. There’s not a tougher, smarter, meaner or more beautiful chunk of land touching two oceans than the God-blessed U-S-of-A.

When we decided to put a boot up King George’s ass, we changed the world, and by fighting for our own rights we taught others to do the same. Every country — whether they’ll admit it or not — sees America as the pinnacle of freedom and progress that no empire has ever built before. To maintain those core tenets of liberty, we’ve had to kick a few teeth in along the way.

We put Hitler in a chokehold, drank Stalin under the table, swatted kamikaze planes like they were gnats and picked Charlie out of trees like Georgia peaches. The world should be counting its lucky stars some good ol’ boys from every nook and cranny, from fields of wheat and concrete, decided to buck up and blow some lead kisses in the direction of the enemies of freedom, decency and goodness.

The work’s not done yet, but today isn’t the day to fret over spilled communism.

Today, we real American patriots are celebrating you, the Red, White and Blue, with as much gusto and chutzpah as the founders who dumped tea in water, crossed icy rivers and put holes in red coats. Because if God-fearing Americans won’t, then nobody else will — and that’s not an option for the greatest country in the solar system.

Now, America, we know you’ve been a little sick recently … maybe it’s all the Bud Light (or the socialists in Congress), but let’s not worry about that today. (RELATED: EXCLUSIVE: SOURCE: Top Anheuser-Busch Marketing Executives Responsible For Boycott Are No Longer Employed)

Today is the reset. The day we find our American values again.

Where else in the world can you fire an AR-15, drink a cold beer and complain about inequality all in the same day, without the repercussions of a fascist government dropping the hammer on your existence at any given time?

So, on the best birthday of the year, it’s time for America to kick up its feet and drink a Yuengling beside the pool.

Tomorrow, we are back to saving our children from woke socialist ideology, but today, we are basking in the light of old glory, because if we can’t teach our kids how to love America now, how can we hope for them to love it then?

It’s better to be red than dead, but the whole world would be blue without you.

Love,

A truly blessed American

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
