Happy 4th of July from the editors here at The Blaze!

As the divisions in our country get to the point of boiling over this election season (It's a tax! It's a mandate!) it might be healthy to take a day off and appreciate what it is to be "American." So this Independence Day, The Blaze gives you seventy-six things (get it, 1776) we can all agree are the most American.
