There are these people that seriously truly believe America is some fantastic fabulous place AND (not OR) the rest of the world is some 3rd world back-water place that can't keep up with the awesomeness that is t3h aM3rica~!

    When you travel a lot, you see it more, and it's mostly prevailant in the elitist entitled American-types (not saying it's not any other country - it just seems more rampant since it's brain-washed into you that NOTHING is better) who push and shove on how their country is the best (while IN other countries) and refuse to adhere to the rules of their visiting country.

    Mostly, it's the elitist entitlement people of America she's referring to, not the patriotic... but they tend (overall) to go hand-in-hand.

    Personal experiences only.
    Oh I know..thats why I said I knew what she was trying to get across...I'd just hate for the non americans on here to get the wrong idea!! Elitist and Patriotic are NOT the same!!! I love America(the way is it SUPPOSED to be) which is why I hate what is being done to it and how it is being run at the moment.
    I cant STAND those types myself. And it isnt just Americans(though I'm sure they are one of he worst offenders). I've met a TON of Brazilians and Eastern Europeans who go on and on about how they cant WAIT to get back to their country(after making all their money here of course) and how America sucks and their country is SOOO much better. Bleh. Go home then.

    Those types arent patriotic..they're just idiots!
    I'm sure there are a TON of countries that are as great to live in or better then America...it all depends on what makes you happy. That said...I've always dreamed of moving to Australia....some day I hope to be able to at least visit there!

    Heyyy.

    *throws shells at you*

    I love America (and hey, I love texas!), but I just wonder if the current administration knows that we are kinda like...the laughing stock of the world right now. It's gonna be hard to get back any respect after all this.

    Just because Pink is blatantly using the words and themes of political reference, it doesn't mean she is the only artist out there speaking out for peace, equality and justice. Sometimes we have to dig deeper into the meanings of songs to find political messages. She's just making it more obvious. I'm glad she is too, because some people just won't get it otherwise.

    Patriotism has very little to do with waving a flag. It is having a genuine interest in doing what is right for humanity. I love America. I also love other countries. We are all just people. It would be interesting to see what the world would be like with no borders.

    It is slightly hypocritical, but hypocracy isnt always a bad thing. Sometimes people will only listen to those with power. I hate to say it, but a lot of entertainers have power and people will listen to them.
    Therefore people will hopefully listen to her song, hear the lyrics, and pay attention, for better or for worse, because Pink is in a position of power.
    I liked the song. I think it has a lot of truth in it.
