I love the internet.
I just read the following comment:
do the lirics to Springsteens song
" born in the USA" bother anybody else besides me???
And I wanted to say:
Yes! Thank you! I thought I was the only one!
Although, you know what's even worse? Have you ever read The Grapes of Wrath? Oh my goodness! You won't belieeeeeve the way America is portrayed.
It's shameful, really.
UPDATE: Ah, now I see why the lirics bothered the aforementioned internet poster.
It always goes back to Glenn Beck, doesn't it? What we do without him?
Thank goodness someone is doing something about these unpatriotic people who dare criticize this great nation of ours!
Hopefully the sarcasm was obvious. It is amazing that the openness that has made this such a great nation is the same openness that is conveniently criticized. I can't help but wonder if this is how Nazi Germany came to be, and I hope, nay pray, that this is as close as we will ever get.

And it only took them 25 years to notice.

That Steinbeck was a terrible communist.

It's so easy to be smug and snarky.
