Pfft, America isn't dying, a fat man with bleach blonde hair, wearing early 2000's NorCal fashion and backwards sunglasses is making the best food show in the world. That's the thing America should be most proud of.

The modern-day proliferation of talentless child stars and attempts to create more of them via social media has finally helped me find empathy for Pontius Pilate.
 
. . .

I feel dirty after listening to that, but mostly because it was just dumb. The thing is, taken as it is on paper, the song isn't in any way shape or form controversial, hell, you could say the same thing on the left as the right. The only reason that there might be a right wing/tea party INSINUATION is because of the use of the use of jingoistic imagery and quotes from the founding fathers.

And even THEN, the quotes chosen are as boringly safe as possible, only talking about how awesome "freedom" is and how we have to work for it. There's nothing special nor interesting about it, and thus utterly forgettable.

Yeah it is so bad that I did not even know the point of view of the kid. His family could be left wing nuts just as easily as right wing nuts from those lyrics. I do not even know why he is crying and dying.
 
Meh

I just don't like it when people stare into the camera when they aren't really singing. IT FUCKING BOTHERS ME.

Other then that, song sounds like it's written by a child of a tea partier(party-er?). Which means its fucking terrible.
 
Even Bruce Willis couldn't save this song or this kid. Horrible song. Maybe he will get better with practice but he need sto throw that song in the trash. Some news network will probably pick this shit up and make it into a new anthem with a rap remix or something.

It's clearly because he's an adolescent boy. To be fair, I remember the songs I wrote in high school and they pretty much all sucked. I'm writing music for my band at 22 and I'm shocked at how much better it is.
 
"I'm dying for America"? With your warm home, good nutrition, comfortable clothing, and America-bashing YouTube music video? You are dying for America? There are not enough lulz in the world.

T-Paine and Abe Lizzle would bust a rhyme up and down that candy ass.
