god bless america is close to the stupidest and most arrogant thing a human can muster.

Allah wills it ranks up there.

at least they aren't shouting for allah to bless a man-made geographical area. that is just such a stupid concept to me.

Don't get me wrong... I'm not in disagreement with you.

Makes me cringe as well.
"And may God continue to bless the United States of America." Obama, 1/10/17

yeah, I get the heebie jeebies no matter whose mouth it comes from.

sometimes I wonder how many politicians (democrats) hate saying that, but have to, as they'd be villified if they didn't.

well you seem to hate America and Americans, so this isnt a surprise. God Bless Canada to , eh....

I don't hate America. It's the nation into which I was born and still live, but I dislike politicians referencing mythical characters and hoping those mythical characters will somehow bless this country. Why not call on Zeuss or Hades or someone? And why America? Why not bless the world so that we can move past petty nationalism?

what an idiotic statement. as I have stated repeatedly, it is impossible for any reasonably intelligent person to hate a country. I like visiting America, and some of my family are Americans.

Maybe it would be helpful if you understood the meaning behind the phrase and the song before calling it stupid or arrogant. Should we dissect all countries phrases, songs, ideals, etc?

sure....

it's the same moronic statements that fans say to Ed (or anyone) that he hates america because he criticizes the government, and he should love it or leave it. it's just so stupid. if america fails, we all fail. I want what's best for america as that directly impacts what's best for the rest of the world.

your interweb banter has nothing to do with eddie vedder. but you can keep believing that. ed... i love it.

huh? I was just using it as an example. the whole bushleaguer thing.

yeah, because that's the context people use it in today. spouting god bless america after a person is sentenced to death does not invoke what was intended when it was written.

I agree. That doesn't mean it's stupid or arrogant. Saying God Bless America to a death sentence and singing it at his execution; completely stupid. It's about the context and the person using the phrase. Our soon to be president has made it clear how much difference there is in the meaning of "some words when spoken" by different people under different context.

I would say the same if someone in Canada said something similar. I am not a patriot. I am happy to live in Canada and know how fortunate I am to do so. But I think nationalism and patriotism are odd. we're all human.

i bet if you were American you'd be a patriot.

nope. but you go on believing your imaginary lines are better than someone else's.

stay fluffy my friends....

patriotism was created, like a religion, to brainwash people into fighting for their country. simple as that. it only exists in countries with a vast military interest.

now, back to Roof.
