Still stands for liberty. Even if there’s a long damn road to getting that for everyone.

Not if you’re queer, obviously. Or poor for that matter.

I’m just not much of a patriot. I’ve never accepted the notion that just because the U.S. engages in wars, that somehow, those troops are fighting for our freedoms. I think the only war in which that concept can even apply is the Second World War.

I don’t view our rights a citizens stemming from the blessing of an invisible super-creator-deity either.

When I see someone screaming platitudes about America, about our god given rights, I tend not to think very highly of that person’s beliefs.

Whatever.
