I am very proud to be an American. Let me just get that out of the way. It will help you to understand my feelings and where I'm coming from.

I also truly believe that America is the greatest country on the planet and the greatest country that ever existed. Now, before all you foreign peoples get all your panties in a bunch, let me explain to you what I mean. I'm not referring to our Republic and our voting system. I'm not referring to our elected officials or even our army and our advanced military weapons. I'm not even referring to our cities or how large our population is. Basically, all I'm talking about is "mom and apple pie".... Not literally you morons.

See, a bunch of us Americans may be overweight, lazy and annoying fucks, but we stick together like stink on a monkey when we need to. Unfortunately last Tuesday, September 11, 2001 we needed to more than ever before. Let me stop myself right there. Yes, the 11th was one of the worst days EVER for the citizens of the U.S. of A. I still can't believe that the images of those two airplanes flying deliberately into the World Trade Centers are real and not some kind of sick special effect. But the disasters of that day brought out the best in the people of this nation. We reacted the exact opposite from how bin Laden expected us to. We didn't cower. We didn't piss our pants. We came together and immediately began helping one another.

Within mere minutes of the Trade Centers' collapse there were firemen and civilians doing their best to dig out survivors from the pile of debris. A few brave people even lost their lives after falling into holes in the rubble. But the rescue efforts never stopped. Seriously, can you see Frenchies doing this? If Paris fell the rest of the country would just walk away and pretend nothing happened just so they wouldn't have to dirty their hands.

We were in shock, sure. New York, D.C. and West Pennsylvania were in pain. But the rescue effort kicked it into overdrive within minutes of the first attack. Over 300 firefighters gave their lives in order to try and save a few more people in New York when the first Trade Center tower collapsed. U.S. citizens began lining up to give blood (from coast to coast) within hours of the televised travesties. Companies and everyday Joes started organizing money drives to help the Red Cross and the victims of the attacks. As of this writing (less than a week from all of the destruction and death) Amazon.com has had over $6million donated to the Red Cross' disaster relief fund through its site alone. My local fire department has collected over $30K for the families of the firemen who gave their lives to help others inside the Twin Towers. Microsoft (that big evil corporation) even gave several million out of its own pockets. Sports teams and entire sports leagues have gathered millions upon millions of dollars to help those in need. But what makes me smile the most is that everyday people are offering up their own tax refunds (hundreds of dollars in some cases) to help their fellow Americans. U.S. flags are hanging everywhere and red, white and blue ribbons are on the shirts of most everyone I pass on the street.

We've come together, not apart.

Okay, my point has been made. I hope. Now to get on with what this article is truly about: Patriotism, or lack there of. I've showed you some great examples of American Patriotism in the above paragraphs. No other country on Earth would ban together so completely as we did. Face it. I can't imagine any other country having citizens who would donate as much as our masses have to relief efforts on their own. Even if their governments forced them to, there's no way that any other peoples would throw in a helping hand as fast or as completely as my fellow Americans have. Most countries I can think of would wallow in their own self pity for a few weeks while they waited for the U.S. to step in and dig them out.

If you live in a different nation than the U.S. and are pissed off at my comments right now, I have this to say to you: "How many goddamn times have Americans come to your aid when bad shit happened to you? EVERY SINGLE TIME! How many countries have ever done anything more than jack squat for us? I personally can't even think of one."

Yeah, some countries have "Expressed their deepest regret" over our losing several thousand innocents in the worst attacks of terrorism EVER. Some have even lit candles..... but that's it. No extra "people sniffing dogs" sent to New York to help find survivors. No bonus professional rubble removers. No much needed foreign whores to keep the morale and energy up of our own diggers. Nada. Nyet. Nothing.

Look at this picture to the right. This is Chicago during the moment of silence that took place at noon on the Friday following the attacks. That's a shitload of people there. And they're all banding together. They're not running away in fear. They're not cowering under their beds in shame. They're standing together and basically telling the terrorists to "Go fuck yourselves!" Granted, I'm paraphrasing, but I'm sure that's the point they wish to make.

Oooooookay, so I rambled on a bit more than I wanted to. NOW to get on with what this article is truly about. Despite most Americans putting on red, white and blue clothes, donating blood and money to the disaster effort and going on about how much of an evil baby fucker that Osama bin Froinlaven is... despite all this I still heard some people saying some pretty "politically incorrect" things about my Nation. Now, these comments and rants that I'm talking about are not some of the anti-p.c. stuff that I love to join in on and make fun of all the time (stuff that makes light of retards, midgets, feminists and liberals). That normal un-p.c. stuff is always fun even in times of national emergencies. No, the comments that I heard were anti-American. That is just wrong.
