America is not the greatest country in the world, that's my opinion.

The NEA is a loser. It's only a penny of our paycheck, but

But he can hit you with it anytime he wants. It doesn't cost money, it costs votes, it costs time and columns.

We're part of the worst generation ever, so when you ask what makes us the greatest country in the world, I don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

We stand up for what's right, we fight for moral reasons.

We pass laws and repeal laws for moral reasons. We fought the war on poverty, not the war on the poor.

We make sacrifices, we care about our neighbors, we put our money where our mouth is, and we never pat ourselves on the back.

We have built great things, made incredible technological advances, explored the universe, cured diseases, and we have produced

the world's greatest artists and the world's greatest economies.

We look up to the stars and act like men. We aspire to wisdom; we don't diminish it; it doesn't make us feel inferior.

We don't define ourselves by who we voted for in the last election; we're not so easily intimidated. By those who are great, those who are respected. The first step in solving any problem is recognizing that there is a problem.

America is no longer the greatest country in the world.
