As an American, I feel the need to say
HELL YES on that first point. Honestly, people who go on and on about how great our country is fill me with the desire to shove a bald eagle talons-first up their rectum and shove their teeny little genitalia into its beak. And then wipe my ass on a flag and shove it in their mouth.

I've had more than enough of the war jingoism and Pappy Bush's Paranoid Patriotism. And I'm an American!

But as an American, please let me assure you that the vast majority of Americans are more of my attitude than of the Red neck, White sock and Blue ribbon beer variety.
