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.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Well your overwhelming intellect is too much for me to handle, you've have no idea who any of the people on here are, and already begin to stereotype them. I don’t think anyone on here jumped on the patriotic band wagon; however we sure as hell didn’t jump on the "Allah Bless America" wagon. I would consider veterans to be the most patriotic people there are, and they sure as hell don’t wear shirts like that, and if I remember correctly i don’t either. If you truly care about the people in this country a shirt like "Buddha bless America" would be more suiting for the situation. It would still express your views, and wouldn’t piss on 4,000 people that died because of some towel head that wanted to kill them in Allah's name.

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!

Pro American????? Yep so using that logic, if you have no allegiance to America (or to nobody) Osma would be America's biggest patriot. As for the sticker sporting anti-Americans, yes it's sick that they are jumping on the "patriotic" bandwagon, but how sick when compared to a kid wearing an "Allah Bless America" shirt. I rest my case.

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.

American Deaths from 911: 4,000 +
Muslim deaths from Americans pissed off by 911: 0? 1?
You're too easy to forget just how pissed off people were by the attacks, they just took their anger out in the wrong way. But at least they didn’t strap themselves with C4 and run into a crowd of Muslims.

Obviously you don't, read up on your history. Muslims aren't fleeing the country by the thousands, nor are they being sent to concentration camps, and if I recall correctly 6 million haven’t been executed.

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..... <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Tell you what shit face, if you are wont say the Pledge of Allegiance because the word "God" is in it, how bout you boycott all money also. After all not everyone in this country believes in god, yet they still use our money. So why not bitch about our money also? Stop using it; it has the word God on it. Until you do, you're just another hypocritical protestor, and a whiny little bitch, who only wants to complain about something that doesn’t hinder his life in any way.

that's all, i gotta go practice with my pro-america, pro-diversity, pro-tolerance, and open-minded band. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Yep, good idea for two reasons.
1. Your band sucks, your music sucks, you obviously need the practice.
2. Your arguments are flawed, illogical, and above all obnoxious, and unpatriotic.
