Dude if you are gonna celebrate the fourth of July at least use the proper song.



What can I say?

Yankee Doodle Dandy ain't for everybody.

It's up to you Fred. You can either toss your conservative retrograde ideas to the junkyard and accept that:

The country that first abolished slavery and set about to free the world from it, the country the managed to rule the largest empire of all time. The country that stood up to the nazis single handed and kept the light of democracy burning in europe, the driving force behind the industrial age , discoverers of gravity and evolution.

That's why they call it Great Britain.

pssshhhttt....wasn't so great after we beat your asses in two wars!

If you mean the only two wars we've had with Great Britan: The American Revolution and the War of 1812, the results were hardly devastating to the British empire.

And pssst, hate to break it to you but the Brits were are allies in WWI and WWII. We didn't beat them.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies.

Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom.

Am I grateful to have been born here, rather some thorforsaken shithole? Absolutely.

Am I proud of everything my country and government has done? Absolutely not.

Am I ashamed of what we have failed to do, despite being capable? Oh, hell yes.

To anyone who suggests I should GTFO: Make me.

Yeah, go figure. After we kicked their asses in two wars they wanted to be our friends. Then we had to go and save their asses from getting kicked again in WWI and WWII.

*snort* That's hardly the way we've behaved then or since. It's called cultural history, which is what makes us what we are. And we share much of it with Britain.

Now you seem to want to make up for being late for the last two wars by getting in first for the next one.

And I still don't own a donkey, nor do I know anyone who does.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Results of the War of 1812:
Quote:Status quo ante bellum with no boundary changes;
Military stalemate
Defeat of Tecumseh's Confederacy

That doesn't look like an asswhipping

RE: No Surprise Here
The part that continues to amaze me is that conservatives claim pride in America, yet are more likely to:

1) want to succeed from the union;

2) keep guns for the purpose of possible armed rebellion; and

3) think America is heading in the wrong direction.

It's a very strange kind of pride if you ask me.

pfffttt...the only good thing to ever come out of Great Britain was Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones. The Beatles sucked.
