I get annoyed with the whole anti capitalist "the United States is the root of all evil" message, and needs to be replaced. Replaced with what? The guys in Anti Flag couldn't run a popsicle stand let alone a business, if they ever got into power, we'd have an economic meltdown.
Speaking of The Clash that reminds me to do another album review.

Yeah the US sucks in a lot of ways, but we're still a step up from pretty much any other empire in history. I don't see us as a city on a hill or whatever the ****, but I guess we do more good for global stability than we do evil with our self-interested military operations. Maybe the world doesn't need a "world police" anymore, but I don't know that it would be a good idea to test that theory.
And most punk bands who bitch about us just come across as ignorant utopians who might have valid points, but are too into being counter-culture whiners to have any appreciation of pragmatism.
