We Don't Like People Who Don't Take Pride in Our Country
Katie Couric said that using "we" when referring to America makes her uncomfortable. That's stupid and I hate her. I love saying "we" when talking about America because it allows me to say lots of things that I could not say only about myself: We are the richer and more powerful than all others. America is freaking awesome. We collected the best people from all over the world into one country so we can totally rule at absolutely everything. Scientists have determined that America is by far the most awesome country they have discovered existing in the three spatial and one temporal dimensions. Who would not want to be associated with that? And it's not like rooting for some local football team, because we're all actually a part of it. That rules. I guess some people think America is so mind-boggingly super-fantastic that they feel the need to apologize to the citizens of lesser countries for how our awesomeness makes them appear even more pathetic. That's dumb. People from other countries should apologize to us for sucking so badly. Sometimes how much their countries suck interferes with our awesomeness, like Mexico. We want them to prostrate before us and say, "Oh glorious Americans, we are sorry for how much our country sucks and how it disturbs your unbelievable awesomeness." And we can say, "That's okay. We know you're trying hard, and we will not raze your country... for now." That's the proper order of things. It also reminds me of another pronoun I like to use: "They." "They" is what I call all the terrorists, evil foreigners, and liberals. You can combine "we" with "they" for even better statements. We should destroy them. Pronouns are awesome! But not as awesome as us. 40 Responses To "We Don't Like People Who Don't Take Pride in Our Country"
WE are the Fred Thompson of Nation States! #1 - Posted by: Alamo on September 27, 2007 10:52 AMWE agree with this entire entry and WE support it. By WE I mean all the comments that would normally follow. No need for anyone to post anything else, WE have it covered. #2 - Posted by: Derek, Lord of the Commentators on September 27, 2007 10:54 AMYes! Let the rest of them eat dirt. We are it! #3 - Posted by: miriam` on September 27, 2007 10:59 AM//Sometimes how much their countries suck interferes with our awesomeness, like Mexico.// Don't you think they know that? That's why they're all here! By my estimates, there are approximately 500 Mexican citizens left in Mexico. The rest of the people there are either tourists or service industry personnel... #4 - Posted by: AlanABQ on September 27, 2007 10:59 AMI wonder if the crew at CBS Evening News ever says "do you remember when WE used to have decent ratings?" and then feels uncomfortable for using "we" because its all due to one d-bag that their show tanked? #5 - Posted by: seaniep on September 27, 2007 11:06 AMQ: Why does Mexico's Olympic team suck? A: Everybody who can run or swim has already left. Thank yeww - thank yeww - I'll be here all week.... #6 - Posted by: Mad Insomniac on September 27, 2007 11:14 AM//Thank yeww - thank yeww - I'll be here all week....// Is that a threat? ;) #7 - Posted by: AlanABQ on September 27, 2007 11:17 AMTHEY can all move to one of the fabulous sites of THEIR worship: Canada, Cuba, Iran, etc. THEY should hurry before WE make it worse for THEM with OUR choice for the next President. #8 - Posted by: Bob the Doc on September 27, 2007 11:22 AMDoes this mean little miss Couric gets uncomfortable when she reads the U.S. Constitution? "WE the people...." Maybe it's a stature thing and the word we reminds her of being a wee little lass. #1 is #1. But if Repub's don't win, WE become a nation of HillBillies. #10 - Posted by: BobbyR on September 27, 2007 11:53 AMAs Jonah notes in the piece that Frank linked, this seems like a small thing, but isn't. There's something very wrong with somebody who won't refer to her country as "we", particularly in time of war. I'm an American before I'm anything else. Before I'm a Catholic, or a conservative, maybe even before I'm a man. It's the most important thing, and there's nothing that I'd rather be. Fortunately for me, my father's parents and my mother's ancestors a generation or two further back than that also decided that there was nothing that they'd rather be than Americans. WE are the best! #11 - Posted by: Silicon Valley Jim on September 27, 2007 12:02 PM“The whole culture of wearing flags on our lapel and saying ‘we’ when referring to the United States and, even the ‘shock and awe’ of the initial stages, it was just too jubilant and just a little uncomfortable."- Katie Couric, September 25. Well where the hell did she think she was? I'm sorry that she was 'uncomfortable' that Americans would be 'jubilant' about finally getting a job done that took 12 years too long, but we waited so long for Saddam to stop his aggression & come clean. Sitting on our hands & waiting to see what a sadistic dictator will do next... now that's uncomfortable. #12 - Posted by: AlanABQ on September 27, 2007 12:03 PMI recently got bonus points in a Geology lab for saying "America Rocks! We've got bigger mountains than everywhere!" This is proof of both the awesomeness of the pronoun usage, and points to a reprieve in the decline of higher education. At least one scientist in this country isn't dumb and unpatriotic! #13 - Posted by: ben on September 27, 2007 12:17 PM She makes me hurl... May be her new job can be weather girl at W-JIHAD in Tehran? Let's see show she does in a freakin' Burqha. #14 - Posted by: KeithP on September 27, 2007 12:48 PM"Maybe it's a stature thing and the word we reminds her of being a wee little lass." - spacemonkey With a not so wee little ass. #15 - Posted by: on September 27, 2007 01:00 PMThe problem with Katie is that she actually thinks people give a shit about her opinion. #16 - Posted by: Clay S. on September 27, 2007 01:04 PMPronouns are awesome! But not as awesome as us. I know Rufus Xavier Sasprilla and his armadillo would agree with you. I wonder why they don't play School House Rock on Saturday mornings anymore? Are they afraid of kids learning from some other place besides agendized public school curriculum? :singing: Weee the peo-ple, in order to form a more per-fect u-nion, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquilitee..eee...eee! Pro-vide for the common defense, sup-port the gen-er-al wel-fare a-and..... #17 - Posted by: shimauma on September 27, 2007 01:12 PM":singing: Weee the peo-ple, in order to form a more per-fect u-nion, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquilitee..eee...eee! Pro-vide for the common defense, sup-port the gen-er-al wel-fare a-and....." We sang that in my freshman year in High School. (Graduated '98), so not THAT long ago. I'm also kind of glad that Couric doesn't include herself with us... she's icky. #18 - Posted by: ChrisA on September 27, 2007 02:13 PMThis is a good follow-up to Couric. America is indeed freaking awesome. However. 65% of the awesome in the US is supplied by Texas. Texas invented awesome. Ask your wife Frank. #19 - Posted by: Matt on September 27, 2007 02:22 PMOn the topic of schoolhouse rock, they show it in the public schools all the time. All throughout middle school, people in my class would keep randomly bursting into song with, "Lolly lolly lolly, get your adverbs here!" and the ever famous, "I'm just a bill, yes I'm only a bill." Man, we loved those. Classic. #20 - Posted by: Hazel on September 27, 2007 03:03 PMPosted by: Matt on September 27, 2007 02:22 PM Your right Matt: SarahK a Texan? I was not aware. Welcome to the club Frank...... #21 - Posted by: Alamo on September 27, 2007 03:13 PMKnow what happens when you cross a CBS anchor with a pig? Nothing... Know what 25 CBS Employees skydiving is called? Skeet... I agree with Frank's premise about how super duper awesome America is and how the rest of the world sucks the big green weenie...but how is it that a country as super awesome as America turns out pricks like Couric and Shuster? #22 - Posted by: ussjimmycarter on September 27, 2007 03:29 PMBy the way, in my favorite movie EVER! R. Lee said that the ONLY things to come out of Texas are queers and steers and I always believe R Lee!!! #23 - Posted by: ussjimmycarter on September 27, 2007 03:31 PMDon't mess with Texas, Jimmah. #24 - Posted by: Pinky on September 27, 2007 03:33 PMWE deserve better newsreaders. #25 - Posted by: Gunga on September 27, 2007 03:46 PMWE need to stop watching CBS news or any other MSM. THEY need to stop lying to US, and SHE needs to go back to anchor-ette. I love pronouns too. #26 - Posted by: seanmahair on September 27, 2007 05:48 PMWe love pronouns so much that we are going to correct Frank's use in the last line of his post. Frank, you should have said "we" rather than "us" because the sentence calls for a subjective pronoun rather than an objective. Also, off topic somewhat: come on people, learn the difference between they're/their and you're/your already. It's not hard, and only increases our awesomeness when we get it right! #27 - Posted by: cknight on September 27, 2007 06:43 PM#20 - Posted by: Matt OK,who has the wife named "Frank"? #20 - Posted by: Matt OK, who has the wife named "Frank"? Why should we give a crap what Not-Americans think? #30 - Posted by: Fiar on September 27, 2007 09:16 PMDear Ms Couric &*&^ off I didn't spend 12 years in the military so you could feeeel any damn thing. You are a drain on our society and no better than a cur dog that bites the hand that feeds, and protects you. You and your craven liberal/communist bretheren don't deserve one drop of sweat, much less blood that our Marines Sailors, Soldiers, or Airmen have shed for your worthless hide. You should be deported to Cuba where they give a $% what you feeeeeel. #31 - Posted by: don on September 28, 2007 02:15 AMToo much? #32 - Posted by: don on September 28, 2007 02:17 AMussjc; I would be wounded (were I not a Texan). Remember that was a character played by R. Lee, not R. Lee himself. You must seperate the role from the man. Texas holds a special place in conservative America. We execute murderers, every pick-up has a gun rack, early leader in passing concealed carry, big, beautiful, and still wild. And as a traditional conservative you have not lived until you sit on an open air restaurant balcony on Sixth street in Austin (our state moonbat sanctuary), drinking cold beer, eating tacos, and observing the hippie/freak parade. The more beers, the more commentary. A very worthwhile hobby. I once had an opportunity to tell Jim Hightower what a complete leftist moron he is, bringing him close to tears and raising the ire of (rest in moonbat heaven) Molly Ivins. It doesn't get much more enjoyable than that (or at least more satifying). #33 - Posted by: Alamo on September 28, 2007 07:55 AMI used to like watching NYC get smashed in various movies until 911. Since then I have felt protective of New Yorkers because they are us. We conservatives look after and protect our own. Even the clueless moonbats who think of the rest of the nation as "them". #34 - Posted by: random m on September 28, 2007 12:22 PMBrag and bluster all you like, compared to Macedonians, you guys are severely lacking in national self-confidence. #35 - Posted by: isembard kingdom brunel on September 28, 2007 04:06 PMI must be confused. Macedonia? From what I can tell they're real good at joining organizations but not so good at getting alone with each other. Lots of in fighting between groups there. But I'm sure they're just lovely people with a proud and rich heritage and culture. Really. #36 - Posted by: seanmahair on September 29, 2007 02:26 AMI just wish THEY would go join the rest of the world instead of trying to bring the rest of the world HERE... #37 - Posted by: Strnj1 on September 30, 2007 08:09 AMThat was a great piece, Frank. And I'm in the lower rungs! America is awesome, and, yes, WE are awesome! #38 - Posted by: Brian the sailor on September 30, 2007 01:08 PMThe USA is greatness personified. Katie's hot in a ten beer sort of way. She needs to keep her pie hole closed though. How about a nice warm glass of 'shut the hell up.' #39 - Posted by: Lazlo on September 30, 2007 10:46 PMWow, great article Frank! :o) #40 - Posted by: Corona on October 1, 2007 08:39 AMPost a comment
