On this lovely Independence Day in the year two-thousand and six, let us post our love for our favorite country (any positive remarks about any other gay loser countries (esp. Gay Britain) will result in an automatic ban). As Lee Greenwood said in his song "God Bless the U.S.A."

And I’m proud to be an American where at least I know I’m free.
And I won’t forget the men who died, who gave that right to me.
And I’d gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land God bless the U.S.A.


To Iraq:

Toby Keith - Courtesy of the Red White and Blue
Now this nation that I love
Has fallen under attack
A mighty sucker punch came flyin' in
From somewhere in the back
Soon as we could see clearly
Through our big black eye
Man, we lit up your world
Like the 4th of July

Hey Uncle Sam
Put your name at the top of his list
And the Statue of Liberty
Started shakin' her fist
And the eagle will fly
Man, it's gonna be hell
When you hear Mother Freedom
Start ringin' her bell
And it feels like the whole wide world is raining down on you
Brought to you Courtesy of the Red White and Blue

Justice will be served
And the battle will rage
This big dog will fight
When you rattle his cage
And you'll be sorry that you messed with
The U.S. of A.
'Cause we'll put a boot in your ass
It's the American way

Britain happens to be one of the countries that isn't ashamed (at least openly) to have its name affiliated with us. They deserve props.

When did Britain become a country? I must've missed that.

(PROTIP: The United Kingdom of Great Britain [England, Scotland, & Wales] and Northern Ireland is called the U.K., and all four retain their identities as seperate countries. Britain is an informal term that basically means nothing. Great Britain is the island that includes Scotland, Ireland, Northern Ireland, and England.)

Happy America day. Unfortunately I'll be sleeping through most of it, thanks to my new fucked-up schedule that's supposed to fix my insomnia. The rest of you should enjoy.

Toby Keith is a national embarrassment.

Humorously, this is one of Pres. Reagan's favorites:

Born in the U.S.A. - Bruce Springsteen

Born down in a dead man's town
The first kick I took was when I hit the ground
You end up like a dog that's been beat too much
'Til you spend half your life just covering up

Born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.

I got in a little hometown jam
And so they put a rifle in my hands
Sent me off to Vietnam
To go and kill the yellow man

Born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.

Come back home to the refinery
Hiring man says "Son if it was up to me"
I go down to see the V.A. man
He said "Son don't you understand"

Born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.

I had a buddy at Khe Sahn
Fighting off the Viet Cong
They're still there, he's all gone
He had a little girl in Saigon
I got a picture of him in her arms

Down in the shadow of the penitentiary
Out by the gas fires of the refinery
I'm ten years down the road
Nowhere to run, ain't got nowhere to go

I'm a long gone Daddy in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
I'm a cool rocking Daddy in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.

Beat It!

Iced Earth - Declaration Day

A desperate situation
Forced to retaliation
The task ahead a burden
Men will suffer, that's for certain
We'll charge into the fire
The cause, we must inspire
We raise our fists to tyranny
A high price, freedom is not free

The odds are stacked against us
But with our resolve relentless
And arrogance their weakness
Our cause is just, we won't be beaten
Upon this declaration
Will come a brand new nation
Where men are seen as equal
Governed by and for the people

So we make our stand and pray
On this Declaration Day
For independence I will fight
With liberty I will defy
So we make our stand and pray
On this Declaration Day
Give me liberty or give me death
I'll fight 'til my last breath

With virtue as our beacon
Our cause is charged as treason
Battleworn and starving
Through the hell of war we'll keep marching
The birth of our new nation
An act of desperation
We'll force King George down to his knees
Capitulation

And so we make our stand and pray
On this Declaration Day
For independence I will fight
With liberty I will defy
So we make our stand and pray
On this Declaration Day
Give me liberty or give me death
I'll fight 'til my last breath

Face it - basically no one knows (or cares) what the actual flag of any country is. It's just a piece of fabric with a design on it. Who gives a flying fuck? It's not like a bunch of abstract shapes and colours somehow represents the soul of a nation.

Look at the stars and stripes are you telling me that isn't important to your nation?
The St George's Cross (that's the English flag by the way)a red cross on a white background. It is believed that the origins of the flag came from the earlier plain white tunics worn by the crusaders. The cross was painted with the blood of the Saracens (Muslim opponents) they slew in battle. (We totally kicked their asses dude!)

Yes, it is. My point is that
a) It really shouldn't be, and
b) I certainly don't expect anyone outside of the U.S. to care about it.

Also, the Union Jack is the flag of the UK. I'm not terribly surprised at the apparent confusion; it's not like England flaunts St. George's Cross around.

Great Britain is the island that includes Scotland, Ireland, Northern Ireland, and England.

-La Factoria de las Tortillas

Um...It's the nit-picker in me that is compelled to post. Technically, this is incorrect.

Great Britain is the island composed of England, Scotland, and Wales. Ireland and Northern Ireland compose a seperate, nearby island. Ireland is a seperate nation of its own, while Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom, hence the distinction between the two.


Although, I've been awake for two many hours again, so there's a decent chance that I'm wrong. There is no doubt in my mind that someone will tell me if I am.

Toby Keith is the devil.

The Taliban Song by Toby Keith

I'm just a middle-aged middle-eastern camel-herdin' man
I got a little two-bedroom cave here in North Afghanistan
Things used to be real nice and they got out of hand
Since they moved in
They call themselves the Taliban
Oooh, oooh the Taliban, baby

Now I ain't seen my wife's face since they came here
They make her wear a scarf over her head
That covers her from ear to ear
She loves the desert and the hot white sand
But man she's just like me
No she can't stand the Taliban
Oooh, oooh the Taliban, baby

But you know someday soon we're both gonna saddle up
And it'll be ride camel ride
My old lady she'll be here with me
Just smilin' right by my side
We should do just fine out around Palestine
Or maybe Turkmenistan
We'll bid a fair adieu and flip the finger to
The Taliban

I know where your coming from brother.
This is a patriotic love song, so ya'll feel free to salute if you want to, I'll give you permission!

Now they attacked New York City
'Cause they thought they could win
Said they would stand and fight until the very bloody end
Mr. Bush got on the phone with Iraq and Iran and said
Now you sons-of-bitches you better not be doing any business
with that Taliban

So we prayed to Allah with all of our might
Until those big U.S. jets came flying in one night
And they dropped little bombs all over their holy land
Man you should have seen them run like rabbits they ran
The Taliban

But you know someday soon we're both gonna saddle up
And it'll be ride camel ride
My old lady she'll be here with me
Just smilin' right by my side
We should do just fine out around Palestine
Or maybe Turkmenistan
We'll bid a fair adieu and flip a couple fingers to
The Taliban

And we'll bid a fair adieu and give a big bone or two to
The Taliban
Taliban

Yeah, that's a real song.
