I thought the cover looked like something from the tiger king.

I am blessed that I live in a free society where I am not forced to listen to C&W jingoism.

You’re right. BLM is taking over. Communism here we come!

Good for you, Fahrenheit 451. Few people do and its easy to take our country for granted. I'm grateful each day for the lives each of us have an opportunity to live in this great country. The July 4th holiday is a perfect time to remember our history and the men and women, who fought for us all.

If this was your opening post, my reply would have been +1000.

But the hokey video was too much. I don’t need feel good C&W to feel good about the USA.

Nailed it, Doc. Our country has work to do. It always will. But there’s no place in the world that offers the freedom and the opportunity to her citizens that America does. There a whole lot of “privilege” out there. Race, IQ, looks, personality, athletic ability, etc., etc., etc. Being born in the USA or relocating here is one we should all be grateful for. Hope we can all celebrate that!

You took the words right out of my mouth (or more like what I was going to type).

You find that song offensive?

No, I don't need that song to remind me to count my blessings. I don't get offended by music.

Offensive? No. Tacky and generally awful as a song? Yes.

The song sucks.
America doesn't.

MU Fan in Connecticut · « **Reply #17 on:** July 03, 2020, 08:46:00 AM »

Just because it has the words "America" and "free" in it does not make it a good song.

America is a wonderful place for lots of us.

I know of countries where everyone gets health care.
I know of countries where the population is not armed and dangerous.
I know of countries where people get good free educations.
I know of countries without homeless people spending the nights sleeping on cardboard.
I know of countries where the wealthy and the poor live side by side.

For some of us America leaves a lot to be desired.

Part of what makes America great is being able to criticize and question the America we live in. Blind patriotism is for totalitarianism

Lawdog, are the homeless sleeping on cardboard or in shelters?
Are they on the street or subways? Are they living in cars or tents?
My point is we can and should do better in a number of areas.

The question posed has nothing to do with “blind patriotism”. It has everything to do with if America is such a hellhole, what are you doing here?
