This Merle song is an awesome commentary on today’s life in America. Here is my list of thoughts in no particular order or reason!
Hyphenated American labels: You know, Japanese, Chinese, African. Whatever happened to just being an American of “fill in the blank” decent.
Owning up to your bad choices, and not blaming your mamma, daddy, or position in life….or the color of your skin.
Calling bull crap when somebody says, or does something stupid. To a Christian Conservative like myself, “Stupid” has the same definition as “Porn”. Ya know it when you see it.
Giving thanks in public for the Man upstairs and not giving a rat’s rear what others think.
Buying pants that fit correctly, and don’t have stupid sayings on them. Goes for shirts too.
Not buying clothing that promotes communist or socialist revolutionaries.
Making fun of public figures that cry when they get rolled up for doing something stupid or illegal.
Not being ashamed to fail.

I’m one of those hyphenated-Americans. It’s just easier to say that, than “American of a hyphenated origin”. Besides, I can refer to myself as “American”, but it just doesn’t sound very convincing with my heavy accent 🙂

And let’s not forget to keep our celebration of whatever sporting event we are attending in check, until after the Star Spangled Banner has been COMPLETED.. Oh, yeah, and thanking a service member or veteran for their sacrifices.
