Stephen Colbert's Megamerican Tribute to America

Fourth of July weekend is now over, and this year's fireworks mishaps are but a distant memory. But just because your thumbs have been reattached and you've been discharged from the ICU doesn't mean the patriotic fun has to end just yet. Let's keep the party going with this collection of The Colbert Report's best America moments.

The Colbert Report airs Monday through Thursday at 11:30pm / 10:30c.

As the world celebrates America's birthday, it's the perfect time to immerse oneself in the heroism of a man who's not afraid to shove his patriotism into America's collective orifice like a big piece of birthday cake. And that's why we're bringing you The Colbert Report's Top 25 AmericErotic PatrioPhilia Clips for Producing JingOrgasms. Here now are the top five (and here are the previous lists):

#5. The Colbert Report: Better Know a Founder – Ben Franklin

…on The Daily Show:

…and on The Colbert Report:

The World's Independence Day!

Happy Birthday, America!

And Then There's… Hancock

Here at Indecision, we spend all of our time immersed in the political scene — you know, policy this, wonk that. And we think it shows.

Sometimes, though, this kind of myopia causes us to miss major pop culture happenings. But we were very excited to hear there's a movie out this weekend that honors a Founding Father, prominent patriot and historical figure in our political history.

Way to go, Hollywood! If the first dude to sign the Declaration of Independence doesn't deserve a biopic, we don't know who does!
