I kinda like it. But I'm thinking I would really like a custom version:

"I'm sorry my president is an idiot - but you should've seen the other guy."

[Anonymous]

most of the chickenshits americans I know already have there own way of "protecting" themselves from anti-american harrassment in europe - they stick little canadian flags on their backpacks and shirts.

[Tim Stich]

It still comes across as some sort of ass-sucking sentiment. The shirt should read instead:

Yeah. My president is an idiot. What damn business is that of yours? I'm from TEXAS! Yeahhhaaaaa! Sumbitch!!!! yeah!

[joe]

Given the pathetic turnout in this country, and the demographic breakdown on nonvoters, perhaps the second sentence should end with the word "vote."

[Ken]

Anyone who wears this, regardless of what you think of Bush, to pander to people in other countries deserves a yankee doodle beat down.

[Anonymous]

wouldn't this one fit y'all better:

"I am embarrassed by my Constitution"

[tonio-k]

how about: "at least we're not french"?

[Todd Fletcher]

How about "I'm American, go fuck yourself if you don't like it"

[Anonymous]

it should continue "but add least I had the choice not too, unlike with your unelected President of the European Union."

[tonio-k]

nice pick, Anon. and the EU Constitution is full of positive rights. It is the Liberal's/ Libertarian's nightmare.

[erf]

It's comment groups like this that make the libertarians look like a bunch of idiot wackos.
What's amazing is Americans' pride at being an American, just something one happens to be born into - pure luck, no accomplishment. The sense of entitlement is remarkable.

Hey, erf, you might have come from a long line of trailer trash, long enough to look askance at your citizenship, but my folks came here in the 50s and it IS a big deal to be an American.

[digamma]

"What's amazing is Americans' pride at being an American, just something one happens to be born into - pure luck, no accomplishment."

That's true, but the same should apply to shame at being an American.

[erf]

Ira, that's my point - I was born here. But my grandparents came here with nothing and struggled and survived and made something, and I have them to thank for it. That's something to be proud of, very proud. But personally, being born an American doesn't mean as much to me. I love America and I am glad I was born here, but pride to me comes from accomplishments earned. American pride should be based on working to make it better. Otherwise I'd be proud of being white, right handed, and brown haired.

[Anonymous]

I'm not exactly proud to be American either, but I'll be damned if I'm going to apologize to anyone, let alone to Europeans, about it.

[Anonymous]

i hate my neighbors, community and family, hence i have no pride in America

[Jack]

What I like about it is that the text omits the President's name, so you can wear it administration after administration, ad nauseam. Believe me, you're going to need it for the next few decades.

[Ken]

Hey Erf, maybe if you pitched in you'd have more pride. This country's given me a lot that other people take for granted and I gave back by serving in the Coast Guard. We saved people's lives, not just Americans, but from many different countries. We didn't care where they were from because they were in trouble and needed help. Hell, we even treated a Jamaican sailor because he hadn't pissed in two weeks. That's where a lot of my pride in America comes from (no, not pissing Jamaican sailors). Working with people from all over the country who are working together to help others. Maybe if you pitched in now and then it would do you a lot of good. Knowing people are alive because of my time in the service means a lot to me and it's a great source of pride (well, not the machine gunning of drug boats, but still). At least go donate some blood, deadbeat.

[Douglas Fletcher]

Wasn't "Aufrecht" was the the punch line of Hitler's favorite joke? I think I heard that somewhere.

[Barf]

Here in Europe, we have no entitlements. We have to work hard for everything we get. We have to defend our borders with our own military, and it's costing us a fortune!

What amazes me is Americans' pride at being American -- just something you happen to be born into; pure luck, no accomplishment. This sense of entitlement is remarkable.

You Americans can get by with a 40-hour week, but here in France, we have to work 50, sometimes 65-hours-a-week just to make ends meet.

And we make sure we don't have meeleetant Muslims populating our towns, our cities, our parliaments, like you guys do in the U.S. We don't have any bureaucracies telling us what to do or how to live. We're independent; not centrally controlled like you are. And our healthcare system is second only to Canada's.

So you may call me a Euro-burro if you want, but my pride is genuine, not phony, like you Americans.

[Jim]

Barf jests.

Gratitude is the most exquisite form of courtesy.
