The Freeper Anthem

[MichiganVote]

Political Science
by Randy Newman

No one likes us-I don't know why
We may not be perfect, but heaven knows we try
But all around, even our old friends put us down
Let's drop the big one and see what happens

We give them money-but are they grateful?
No, they're spiteful and they're hateful
They don't respect us-so let's surprise them
We'll drop the big one and pulverize them

Asia's crowded and Europe's too old
Africa is far too hot
And Canada's too cold
And South America stole our name
Let's drop the big one
There'll be no one left to blame us

We'll save Australia
Don't wanna hurt no kangaroo
We'll build an All American amusement park there
They got surfin', too

Boom goes London and boom Paree
More room for you and more room for me
And every city the whole world round
Will just be another American town
Oh, how peaceful it will be
We'll set everybody free
You'll wear a Japanese kimono
And there'll be Italian shoes for me

They all hate us anyhow
So let's drop the big one now
Let's drop the big one now

1. Now I want to go watch "Blast From the Past" n/t

2. I know first hand there is a significant number if "the Young" who will

just live elsewhere in the world as America declines. Those who can afford it will leave. Why bother with something that is so broken that there is no desire to fix it? That's what some people think.

3. Have you seen this?

Flash animation of the song, well done:

It's a truly terrifying thought that a good number of people wouldn't consider this satire, but actually think this way.

4. No, this is the Freeper anthem:

Amerika, Amerika über alles,
Über alles in der Welt,
Wenn es stets zu Schutz und Trutze
Brüderlich zusammenhält,
Von der Potamac bis an die Columbia,
Von der Appalachians bis an den Rockies
Amerika, Amerika über alles,
Über alles in der Welt.

Amerikaner Frauen, amerikaner Treue,
Amerikaner Wein und amerikaner Sang
Sollen in der Welt behalten
Ihren alten schönen Klang,
Uns zu edler Tat begeistern
Unser ganzes Leben lang.
Amerikaner Wein und amerikaner Sang.

Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit
Für das amerikaner Vaterland!
Danach laßt uns alle streben
Brüderlich mit Herz und Hand!
Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit
Sind des Glückes Unterpfand.
Blüh' im Glanze dieses Glückes,
Blühe, amerikaner Vaterland.

5. One small problem.

The vast majority of Americans, Freeper or otherwise, are monoglots -- and not in German.

7. They don't have to know what it means!

Just have Bush* declare it the anthem and they start singing it!

8. hmm.

The language aspect aside, the song is widely misunderstood.
