Things have certainly gotten upside down. Children singing a patriotic song is now considered controversial. This is why we have a freak like Obama for president. Michelle Obama says she was never proud of the country in her entire life before Obama was nominated. Obama says he doesn't believe in American exceptionalism.

Patriotism isn't just jingoistic nonsense, it's necessary for the survival of the country. This video makes me angry.

When I was a kid in school we always sang patriotic songs. And the most dangerous weapon was a Bic pen with the ink out of it, which was great for spitwads. We had a dress code, couldn't mouth off to the teacher, brought our own lunch (even the poor kids), and said the Pledge of Allegiance every morning. Boy, we had it bad!

I guess this means you're going to Hell! Did you have to walk to school barefoot in the snow?

We don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee;
We don't take our trips on LSD
We don't burn our draft cards down on Main Street;
We like livin' right, and bein' free.

I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee,
A place where even squares can have a ball
We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse,
And white lightnin's still the biggest thrill of all


I'm sorry. I got carried away.

My first tablet was a cave wall, and I stuck my finger in a rock bowl of mammoth blood to do my ciphering.
