I am an American!!!!
Last night I went to see my beloved Vikings. Prior to the game we were asked to stand for the singing of a song, it seemed a bit early for the national anthem so I wondered what was up, well I soon discovered that I was standing for a singing of "I am proud to be an American". I was shaking with anger and have vowed to never stand again for this garbage. What has this country become?

What can you do ? I'm glad to be an American. But how can we ask God to Bless America ? When we bully the world .

2. Were they selling these at half-time?


This little trooper is proud to be an American and a U.S. Marine. From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli, the patriotic men and women who proudly serve in the United States Marine Corps help keep our country safe. Only acclaimed Precious Moments® artist Sam Butcher could capture the spirit of these brave, always faithful patriots with such tenderness and poignancy.
Demand is expected to be strong for this patriotic-theme Precious Moments collectible honoring the U.S. Marines.

By the way, is that sung to the tune of "I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay!"?

3. Sit
Hard to do with, what, 30,000 people surrounding you? But next time, sit back down. You probably will inspire others to do so too and you won't have a regret hangover.

4. Liberals don't burn records
but if I ever did, it'd be that garbage song ("Stick a boot up your ass") by Toby Keith.

6. He is an American
(He is a American)
For he, himself has said it
And it's greatly to his credit
That he is a American

(From USS Pinafore, the Americanized version of HMS Pinafore)
