America 1776-2006: R.I.P.

Patriotboy's America

Head over to Jesus’ General and pay your respects.
If you have no idea what this is about, check out this remix of a classic, by Karl, one of the General‘s loyal soldiers, or the Colbert Report below it.

As long as we’re rewriting the values our nation has so long held dear (from liberty and justice to tyranny and oppression), perhaps we must also rewrite our songs. My humble submission:

America the Beautiful

My country tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty tyranny,
Of thee I sing.
Land where my fathers died!
Land of the Pilgrim’s torturer’s pride!
From every mountain side,
Let freedom screams of the tortured ring!

    But then there’s the good excuses I’ll have not to make donations: :United Way? Are you sure you’re not on the stadt’s wachtlisten? Girl Scout cookies? Don’t these go to support Hamas? Red Cross? You all supply blood for wounded Lebanese, dontcha?

  3. Afraid I can’t help you with the HTML: I know nothing. Unlike dystopian literature, in which I seem to unfortunately specialize.
    FE, you can always flee North. Claim refugee status as a minority (octoroon, I think it was?).
