Superman is surrendering his American citizenship. GI Joe used to be a real American hero. In the movies there are maybe three American soldiers and Brendan Frasier doesn't count. Captain America isn't Captain America overseas, he's the First Avenger. We are abdicating U.S. exeptionalism. Not just through media (which Europe must be dancing about, along with the Spanish version of Achy Brakey Heart) but our esteemed leader. I am no fan of George Bush, but when he was President, America was still the guy you asked before you took anyone to the dance. Now, we are giving up our currency through idiotic monetary policy. Our foreign strength through preemptive surrender agreements with despots like Russia. Our morality by intervening in fights we don't belong in on behalf of dictators on one hand and...well, we still aren't sure who on the other. It scares me that Donald Trump, idiot that he is, may be the only guy with enough balls to establish American pride again (all apologies to Ron Paul, he's right on most things, but nothing he would do would reestablish pride in this country in the short term or our foreign reputation).
And so I rant a bit on this. Warning, the above is an opinion piece supported only by my incredible wit and charm and ability to place the states on a blank map with 94% accuracy, an average error of 8 miles, 47 of 50 perfect, in 342 seconds (love you, Mom).
