Time to jam the phones and tell your reps they are risking their jobs with stunts like this:

The Protection Racket

We're from the government - we're here to help you.
The good news: Believe it or not, our Congress and President have found a way to save a few bucks.
The bad news: They're going to yank it right out of the pockets of U.S. troops.

Seriously, will someone put the ball gag back in his mouth?

Yesterday, Independence Day, Vice President Joe Biden attended a naturalization ceremony at Camp Victory in Baghdad, Iraq. During the ceremony 237 U.S. servicemen from 59 countries, including Iraq, were sworn in as citizens of the United States of America. At the conclusion of this solemn, undoubtedly moving and inspirational occasion this is what the Vice President of the United States had to say:

“As corny as it sounds,” he told the troops, “Damn, I’m proud to be an American!”

A few issues, here, sparky.

You are the motherfucking Vice President of the United States of America. You stand exactly one heartbeat away from leading the most powerful nation on this big blue marble, and you think being proud of being a member, a citizen of this nation is corny? Really? How many people flee our nation to escape tyranny, poverty, or just to seek a better opportunity?

How can you possibly think it corny to be proud not just to be an American, but to be the second-in-command? Hell, even the first wookie is proud to be an American (albeit for the 1st time in her adult life, but at least she's proud.)

I really find it hard to believe that ANY OF THE 237 newly-minted citizens, or the hundreds of people who were there supporting them, in a WAR ZONE, on Independence day, would feel "corny" to say they were proud to be an American.

I am Proud to be an American. I am Proud to say that I am a member of the society that has done more to advance the human condition and human rights than any other nation in the history of our planet.

Come to think of it, the only thing I really am ashamed of is you. And the way you behave when you are off-script.

"He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance."

-- Thomas Jefferson, The Declaration of Independence, 1776

Today is the day we declared independence, the day we said "No more!" From this day in 1776, and for the next seven years, until September 3, 1783 we then put words to actions, and threw the English back into the sea.
