There is something terribly, terribly wrong with this country when Oprah Winfrey and Walt Disney are considered "greater Americans" than George Washington or Benjamin Franklin.
Okay, let's stack them up against each other, we'll do Oprah versus Washington and Walt Disney versus Franklin.

1.) Okay, what has Oprah done?
She has a talk show.
A fuckin' talk show.
How does that compare to leading a country to victory in the war for independence and then becoming the first, and possibly greatest, president in history?
We wouldn't even have a country if it weren't for this man.
Literally, this country would not fuckin' exist if it weren't for George Washington.
Honestly, how does that compare?
I don't get it.
Really, I don't.

2.) Alright, now explain to me how Walt fucking Disney is a greater American than Benjamin Franklin.
Walt Disney made some cartoons and a couple of amusement parks.
And anyhow, it's all a moot point, because despite all those anti-nazi propaganda cartoons that Walt made, the man in all actuality was a fucking nazi sympathizer!
Besides, his head is still sitting around in a fucking refrigerator!
How does that compare to signing The Declaration of Independence and The Constitution and pretty much inventing, I don't know, everything up to Edison's time? It's safe to say that Franklin at least invented pretty much all of Philadelphia.

I don't understand this.
This bothers me a great deal.
