The 4th of July -- GO AMERRCA

[AroundTheWorld]

Amerrca is the greatest country in the world. Amerrca kicks ***. Aint no country in Amerrca like Amerrca. If you don't like Amerrca, you can get the hell out. Head over to Afghanistan, try to find Amerrca over there. You can't, cuz it's here, right here, in Amerrca. Amerrca is the Land of the Free. Amerrca is a free country. Amerrcans love freedom. Only country in the world that loves freedom more than Amerrca is Hawaii. I love freedom. I love Amerrca. Amerrca is the only place on the planet that matters. Some anti-Amerrcan liberal told me that this planet is called Earth, but it should be called Amerrca. I love Planet Amerrca more than I love my own mother. You know what my mother's name is? Her name's Amerrca. My daughter's name's Amerrca too. I tried to name my son Amerrca too, but I got distracted by an Amerrcan flag on the TV. I ended up naming him President George Washington instead. I didn't give him a middle name. Amerrcan's don't need middle names to kick ***. They just need to be Amerrcan. Sometimes I hold little President George Washington Amerrca in my arms and I think about how great it is to be an Amerrcan. I watched a firework show for Independance Day, and thought about all the things Amerrca invented, like cars, computers, houses, oil rigs, Cadillacs, and fireworks. Amerrca invented all that stuff because of how Amerrcan it was. Now it's more Amerrcan than ever. Amerrca is the most Amerrcan place on Planet Amerrca. Happy birthday, Amerrca. Goodnight.

That's pretty funny. Where was that from? I remember reading it somewhere.

Anyway... HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY, USA!

 

[NightVisionGoggles]

Haha! I enjoyed reading that! I went to watch the fireworks in Boston. They were pretty awesome. There were so many people there!

Happy Independence Day!

Very unique style of writing.

Don't you mean "Amerrcn" writer?

This current generation of young Americans must have the Founding Fathers whirling in their shrouds.

 

[Mikawa Ossan]

Actually, from what I understand of Thomas Jefferson, at least one of the founding fathers would approve of being critical of the government.

 

[Mycernius]

Isn't that why the US became independent, being critical of government?

I understand why some of the founding fathers would be turning in their collective graves, but it has more to do with the religious right. Most of the founders were deists and were very insistant on keeping religion out of politics.

 

[Mike Cash]

Oh.....there was something critical of the government in there?

 

[Half-n-Half]

Haha, this is awesome, 'cuz last night when I was lighting off fireworks every time a kick *** one went off I'd yell, "Amerrca kick ***!"

Well the time marker for that event in history drifted by, like a cloud in the night, with no notice at all here. . . where I am.

All joke and fun set aside, I do at times worry about the (seemingly so) loss of some of the spirit that can be seen in some of the words of those behind that movement--that of reason (in the critical sense).

Anyway, Happy belated Independence Day !

 

[AroundTheWorld]

You.

OK, first of all, I am not at all familiar with Mr. Marion's writing. What I gathered was that this particular piece was written as a comical, satirical look at the people with "Amerrrca #1!!!" mind-set not unlike the brand of humor seen and heard in that movie from a few years back, "Team America : World Police" by Trey Parker & Matt Stone of the South Park fame, and AroundTheWorld posted it as a joke on the 4th of July.

Was I really off? lolﾂ

Exactly. It was a joke.

This year I trust there was plenty of appreciation shown to the 'cheese eating surrender monkeys' who were the ones primarily responsible for kicking the Brits out of the 'Colonies' ??? Enjoy your freedom fries!

L...lost in translation? Or are you referring comically to the real life cheese eating surrender monkies who fought valiantly during the Revolutionary War for America?

I DON'T MAKE FUN OF YOUR TRADITIONS! We're new at making up traditions! It was a good idea at the time! ><
