Now, here's another slogan you run into all the time.

Once again, respectfully, I say to myself

Politicians say it at the end of every speech,

I guess they figured if they leave it out...

Somebody's gonna think they're bad Americans!

Let me tell you a little secret about God folks:

God does not give a flying fuck about America, okay?

He doesn't care. He never cared about this country.

He never has, he never will, he doesn't care about this country

any more than he cares about Mongolia, Transylvania,

Pittsburgh, the Suez Canal or the North Pole.

He simply doesn't care, okay. He doesn't care.

Listen, look, there are two hundred countries in the world now,

Do these people honestly think that God is sitting around

Why would he do that? Why would God have a favorite country?

And why would it be America, out of all the countries?

18 delicious flavours of "Classic Rice-a-Roni".

It's delusional thinking and Americans are not alone

Military cemeteries around the world are packed

who were convinced God was on their side:

Americans pray for God to destroy our enemies.

If people wanna say: "God bless America!"

"God loved everyone", that's what he said,

he loved everyone and he loved them equally.

to do something that went against his own teachings?

You know what these "God bless America" people ought to do?

They ought to check with their Jesus fella they're so crazy about.

They're always talking about "What would Jesus do...

They don't wanna know so they can do it, they just wanna know

Well, I'll tell you what Jesus would have done.

I'll tell you what Jesus would have done,

"God bless everyone around the world forever and ever,

That's what Jesus would have done, and that's

what these people should do or else they should admit

that "God bless America" is really just some sort of an

empty slogan with no real meaning except for something vague like..

"Good luck, America... You're on your own!"

... Which is a little bit closer to the truth!

Here's a civic custom that I don't understand - maybe you can help me -

Taking off your hat when a flag passes by,

or when some jackoff at the ballpark starts

What the fuck does a hat have to do with being patriotic.

What possible relationship exists between the uncovered head,

and a feeling that ought to live in your heart.

Suppose you have a red, white and blue hat!

Suppose you have a hat made out of a flag!

Why would you take it off to honor the flag?

And, what's so bad about hats that you have to take 'em off?

Or your shoes! They tell you that at the airport.

So taking off your shoes could be patriotic too!

I started to question all this stupid hat-shit

when I was a kid. When I was a kid I was Catholic.

At least until I reached the age of reason, okay.

So, I was a Catholic for about two, two and a half years..

And during that time, one of the things the told us was

he had to remove his hat in order to honor the presence of God

But, they already told me that God was everywhere!
