A Magical Moment..............
Setting partisan bickering and name calling aside for a few minutes, I thought this would be an appropriate thread for the Sandbox!
It is my understanding, Neil Diamond flew from California to Boston yesterday and showed up unanounced at Fenway. He asked if he could help in any way. The youtube video tells the rest of the story:

In light of the disastrous events of the past 7 days, I hope this makes you as proud to be an American as it does me. Way to go Neil, you're the Man!!!!!

Sentimental, meaningless bullshit makes you proud to be an American. Liberty is dying everywhere, but a rich guy has-been uses a tragedy to get publicity makes you proud to be an American. As long as there are fireworks on the 4th of July, you're happy. Never mind the collapse of what made America great. Good god.
I think I have located the problem.

Getting misty-eyed at a sanctimonious charade of patriotism is not what makes you an American. Standing up for your rights which are inherent to all humans, in the face of tyranny, is what makes you an American.

It's a fucking song at a fucking baseball game.
Get over yourself and pull the stick out of your ass. Stop acting like Neil stabbed your mother.
Not everything is political, OK? Not everything needs to be responded to with end-times predictions and prophecies of doom.
You're just jealous that Neil won't ever come to Wichita and sing for you.

You have trouble understanding things, don't you, ExWhatever? BiSex was making a big deal out of this. I was explaining why it wasn't.

We live in a fool's paradise - people search for meaning in the littlest of things, desperate for something to take their mind off the decline of the empire. Mimicking all the PR agents out there, they blow up a poorly sung song at a baseball game and try to imbue it with importance, trying to create a "great moment" out of thin air.

How exactly did BiSex make a "big deal" about it? He essentially said he found it heartwarming and felt proud as an American. What's the big deal? Why couldn't you have just let it go?

You didn't "explain" a damn thing. Here is your response to him:

Exactly, what was "explained" in your insults above?
And is there really a limit on the number of things that are suitable to make someone feel proud to be an American? Are you in possession of an approved list of reasons to feel proud? You sure act like you are.

OK, so I assume that's one item on the master list. Are there others?
How about the Apollo landing on the moon? What about that nation's prosperity? Those are not quite standing up to tyranny are they?
Can you please post the list so we can consult it from time to time to know if we should feel proud to be American?

Ok. I get it. Mindless patriotism makes you an American. Defending Liberty makes you a whacko.
I got it now. Thanks, guys!

Painting yourself as a victim is a left-wing trait. Stop imitating them.
And BigTex said the song/video made him "feel proud to be an American". You have somehow dropped the "feeling proud" part and morphed the discussion into what "make you an American".
The last time I checked, being born in the US or being naturalized is all it took to make someone an American.
It's a low threshold. Bill Ayers qualifies. So does Neil Diamond. So do you.
