hello warsaw, this is robert lugo. first off, everyone has the wrong opinion of me. i am not at all anti-american. i am probably more patriotic than anyone talking trash on here. i care about the country and the people within it. i don't put on my patrioticism (if that's even a word) in the morning. it's always there. if anyone would have been paying attention to the lyrics and listened with an open mind, they'd have realized that the song "Allegiance to None" was a patriotic song, and it's PRO-AMERICA. i think the reason why it's recieved such bad criticism is because the critics feel guilty because the song attacks them or people like that (you've got a sticker of a flag, you've got an nyfd hat, you're more american than me 'cuz you act "patriotically, but don't give a damn about the country. that's the thing about you that disgusts me.) that should be a dead giveaway!. duh warsaw! about the shirt. you talk about the 4000 deaths of the 9/11 incident with such a passion, and are quick to point out that the attackers were of muslim faith. but you aren't quick to point out that shortly after fervent news coverage and investigation of the ordeal, many "patriotic" groups (and everyday working joes) were brutaly attacking muslim communities in large cities across the nation. (does anyone remember the holocaust?) all because of a few bad muslims. everyone should take the time to think with a clear and open mind, be a little more tolerant to new things. that's basically why we talk about what we do. you also fed into my hands. the first line (i used to get kicked outta class for not giving pledge to the flag, i wonder what they'd do to me if i praised allah publicly.") i wore the shirt to get reactions, obviously. well i got exactly what i wanted, you people make yourselves look stupid. just like those group of muslim'bashers, you are attacking me for being different. i am not at all sympathetic with any terrorist group or idea. i am merely trying to state that we promote jesus, but not allah, or any other god for that matter, when in fact we should because the usa does not solely consist of anglo-saxon christians. there are all types of people, and the separation of church and state sure seems to be infringed on god bless america. in a time when diversity is the enemy and anyone with a skintone is a possible enemy, the community and people of america are like nofx says "shutting their doors and closing their blinds...we are a country of mental midgets regaining unconsciousness." that's all, i gotta go practice with my pro-america, pro-diversity, pro-tolerance, and open-minded band. later warsaw, see you on the 25th, and be sure to check out our debut of our song "Murder of A Generation" in memory of David Fribley. My condolences to any of his friends or family who might read this, even though i never knew him.
