It's Monday and that means it's time to talk shop. It was 4th of July this past weekend and for you non-Americans on here, that is the day when we celebrate our spanking of the British many, many years ago. It's a very patriotic holiday with fireworks and parades and TV tributes to "America: Then and Now." So in honor of our great nation's birthday I thought we could have an America!-themed Monday showdown. And yes, that exclamation point was intentional. Because this isn't a day to celebrate America. This is a day to celebrate America! You might even follow that with a rousing "We're #1! We're #1!" A lot of pro-America music is very nuanced and balanced; taking the good with the bad and celebrating the many things that make this country great while not overlooking the things that make it awful. But we're not interested in that today. No, for this Monday Showdown I want to know what you guys think is the most obnoxiously pro-America song out there. I've selected two to choose from (with a tongue-in-cheek nod to this gem). Which one is more obnoxious?
God Bless the USA - Lee Greenwood

Yeah. The Toby Keith one is pretty ignorant. The pictures that go with it make us Americans look even more obnoxious/arrogant.
