Anyone who claims that their country is "blessed by God" or "under God" or that they're better for being from a certain continent or country is nothing but a nationalistic racist. So many people are guilty of it which is why there's so much tension and anger in the world. I'm no better than anyone because I happened to be born in the United States. I don't salute the flag because I choose not to pledge my allegiance to a corrupt government or a land mass. I love that I'm apparently not the only one who feels this way, seeing as this song pulls no punches in that regard. I'm not an atheist, but I love Bad Religion because they actually THINK instead of follow blindly (in the music video people are blindfolded while holding crosses and chanting "One nation, under God" - great symbolism there) without ever questioning the things and/or people that/who so desperately need to be questioned.

@pleasebeatme92 Would that include the Israelis and Muslims? You didn't consider them, did you? Toolbag.
