2. All feel-good propaganda bullshit
This nation was built on the blood of innocents and the exploitation of the weak. Things like "land of the free and home of the brave" have gained much, much more ire from me once I awoke to the truth.

People matter more than artificial nation-states and random borders drawn on maps.

Edited on Sun May-28-06 09:28 AM by originalpckelly
disgusting. I think we should protest them now because of this.



That is un-American, waving the flag of another nation at a rally.

Idiots doing a salute like that, lucky someone doesn't come along and break that arm.
