Great nation......Huh?
This nation still has freedom of speech.

A person is free to criticize the President, and not go to jail over it. In fact, worse has been said about the President. Are there things in this nation that need improvement? Of course. However, to say that the USA is turning into a turd, well, that is a matter of opinion. What is fact is this. We have freedom of speech.

Why don't we just put a hammer and sickle on there and call it good. We might as well put the president of Greece on there. Come on people, it has to be someone or something that inspires confidence, security, trust, financial strength and stability. No poor people, no socialists, no wimps, nothing that shows even the slightest hint of weakness.

How about a series of notes featuring military hardware?

F-16 series, Saturn V rocket, ICBM missile, Huey Helicopter, Drones, Air Craft Carriers, Submarines, Normandy Beach Landing, Bikini Mushroom Cloud.

I'm leaning for the phallic quality of the ICBM.

Sorry, we don't recognize losers in this country, especially loser rebels.

I'd be fine with that. Much better than some of the left-win wackos that are being put forth.

I say let's not change it, but if so Chief Joseph would be my vote.

There are more conservative nations where the fecal content may be more to you liking. Nations like Saudi Arabia, Iran and Uganda.

The other idea is try having a debate on the issues instead of stomping your foot.

What makes him a hero? He was instrumental in the deaths of many Americans and delayed the inevitable Union victory and just caused unnecessary deaths.

He was a great general, but that doesn't make him any kind of a hero.
