What gets you fired up about being an American?
And I said "fired up" so don't answer, "I get teary eyed when..."
For me, it's this NSFW video courtesy of Team America:
The "Beef, it's what's for dinner" commercials.
When I drive by the hill of crosses in Lafayette I get MAD! Too many dead soldiers, just sickens me that we are still fighting this stupid war.
On a serious note, I live in Kansas City, where we're the unhappy hosts of the notorious Phelps family, nationally known for picketing military funerals, and recently winning a court battle that upholds their right to do so.
They hold frequent protests in KC, and while I vehemently disagree with their actions, I can't help but love my country for still letting people speak their minds.
@woothulhu: That reminds me of Michael Douglas's speech from "An America President." Best presidential speech I ever heard, too bad it came from an actor :-)

@wootbretz: you mean freedom fries right?
@murph929: I said this, censored a bit, on one of the bin Laden "deals." It was deleted. Awesome vid.
The perpetual line at In-N-Out Drive-Through
@ohcheri: will it be over? Can no more blood be spilled? Bring 'em home our men and women in Uniform, as many as can be safely brought back, and soon. Sadly, I don't think the end of this war is over.
@bmw66x: The cynical side of me says as long as corporate America can make money the war will continue. As we all know, it's greed that makes the world go 'round.
@ohcheri: ever since that Wall Street movie, the quote rings true. So, so, sad we are so petty. Money is NOT everything, people. It is only a part of us, but all we need is love. Right?
Gordon Gecko: Greed, for lack of a better word, is good.
@ohcheri: Ronald Regan was an actor. and a President. Great speaker, though. I remember his funeral. Sad, sad day.
@all: These aren't exactly the lighthearted, "Woot! monkeys riding bison while lighting off fireworks" answers I was expecting. Regardless, it's nice that we have the right to turn conversations in any direction we want. Well, any direction allowed by some electronics-peddling, wine-swilling Texans from a company called Woot!
@murph929: You had me at Team America...no way to top that!
@bmw66x: Just so you know. Ronald Reagan was president.
@shrdlu: I know that. I'm not an idiot. He was President yes, ended right before I was born. I can remember Clinton growing up.
/read my post, please.
American women are God's perfect creation.
@bmw66x: Never implied you were an idiot. Implied that you couldn't spell Reagan. Lighten up. You spelled it "Regan" instead of "Reagan". Just so you know.
