We are supposed to have separate church and state. (Although nowadays it’s getting blurrier and blurrier)

I’m glad you brought this up, though, because back in the days when I used to attend Catholic mass, they would sing patriotic songs around this time of year and even way back then, it seemed wrong to me.

And after Orange Idiot was elected, I would cry, too, thinking of how I was no longer proud to sing about my country.
