    America is the only country in the world with a heart and soul that draws from old and new

    The disgusting arrogance and chauvinism of this line alone, the "ONLY" country they say, chest-thumping trashcan propaganda

    The soul and substance of what customarily ranks as patriotism is moral cowardice -- and always has been - Mark Twain

      The US government has to keep pumping out American exceptionalist propaganda. It cannot be humble. It cannot allow its citizenry to be aware of its shortcomings. Because then it would have to improve.

      Every other country is either people hitting rocks together to start a fire in their mud huts or a technocracy where all culture and ideas are thrown out and remade on a daily basis. Only the DEMOCRACY of the USA can bring the old and new into PATRIOTIC harmony. amerikkka-clap

    Breaking: Biden admin set to update poem The New Colossus at the base of the Statue of Liberty. The changes below are italicized, and the poem will now say the following:

    Do not give me your tired, your poor,

    Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,

    The wretched refuse of your teeming shore, keep them there.

    Don’t send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,

    I lift my lamp, and shut the golden door!

    I hate the fucking chauvinist language Americans use to describe their country. The countries both north and south of the United States also share this same (idealized) history

    dem "America is the only country in the world with a heart and soul that draws from old and new. In fact, we have thousands of hearts and souls from immigrants! and my latest executive order shows how committed I am to harvesting even more."
