The most ludicrous part here is it's going to take more than "black people" to "win a majority vote in every state on" St. Obama. But they all won't "get out and vote" when, after being threatened that "the end will be near" otherwise, "that's got 'em terrified."

…if they want to "beat Coulterism," so suggest Johns Hopkins University's Samuel A. Chambers and Swansea University's Alan Finlayson. (Sweetness & Light via Chairman Ann)ut there are a few questions that need to be answered before they dirty themselves in their grotesquely mistaken desperate cause without end based on lies and deception not in our name.1
Being the generous sort, ever willing to hand liberals a really good shovel any time they set out on such digging projects, I'm offering to help them with those answers:
- Of what elements are Coulterist constituencies composed?
Buyers and actual readers of books. Known in the private sector as "the employed." (Or in Liberalese, "Christofascist, racist, misogynist, homophobic hayseeds.")
By what appeals, tropes and interests are they bound together?
Respectively life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. (If you were playing the Social Security $25,000,000,000,000 Pyramid game scheme, they'd be within the category of "Things Liberals Deem Obsolete.")
In what way does Coulterism seek to reconfigure the dimensions of political space?
Knock out the den wall and add a large family room with fireplace and new master bedroom complete with walk-in closet and bath. (In $2.5×1013 Pyramid [Scheme], it's a legal clue for the box "Try Doing That Under the Heavily-Policed Limits of Liberalism.")
Where might these dimensions be expanded?
Large kennel in the backyard for incessantly barking moonbat liberalsbirm? (Just a suggestion.)
How might these appeals be turned against it?
"That baby inside you, it doesn't need to live." — OK, not nuanced enough. — Against Coulterism Turner #2: "Give me liberty and give my fetus death!" — What? Oh, all right. — ACT #3: "Abort It... For The Children®" (Yeah, I thought you'd like it.)
How might the constituencies be broken up and reordered?
Re-education camps, of course. (That's the Liberal Way™.)

aka Demoqratiq al-Qongress“Annual U.S. oil production is about 1.8 billion barrels. The Interior Department estimates that up to 10 times that amount — about 19 billion barrels — is potentially recoverable in offshore areas that currently are off-limits [courtesy Big Green libenviral-Obamboozler whackos now running Qongress] to drillers” f, as qongressional Demoqommierat kingpinheads claim, it's indeed the case that from just the 15 percent of "our" public lands they now so graciously allow us wretched, huddled plebeians to lease out for drilling oil and natural gas, we have the potential to "nearly double" domestic production of both indispensable fuel sources, then it stands to reason that if they would so kindly deign to allow us trivial, unworthy (to them) mortals to lease all "our" public lands for this purpose, we'd have the potential to increase such production to over 13 times its current level:
| .15 PL | ≡ | 2.0 DP | | ⇒ | 1.00 PL | ≡ | 13.3 DP |
Good news is Demoilqrats® have finally come around to supporting more drilling. (You OK under the O-bus there, envirowhackos?)
However, merely doubling our production isn't going to be enough to let us do anything more than catch up with, much less surpass, the net amount of foreign oil we'll be importing afterwards.
U.S. demand for all petroleum products is 21 million barrels per day, seven million of which is being supplied by domestic production and 14 million by the refinement of foreign crude oil. In addition, we're producing about a million barrels of crude oil per day for export. Subtracting those exports from the five million total barrels of crude oil we're producing daily leaves us only four million for domestic consumption. So if we doubled domestic crude-oil production, we'd presumably still have at least a million barrels each day for export, but not more than a total of nine million for our own use: | Now |
Demand | | 21 | MMbd | all petroleum |
Supply | | 14 | MMbd | foreign crude | | 4 | " | domestic crude* | | 3 | " | other sources** |
After doubling
domestic crude production |
Demand | | >21 | MMbd | all petroleum |
Supply | | >9 | MMbd | foreign crude | | 9 | " | domestic crude* | | 3 | " | other sources** |
* Excludes 1 MMbd structured for export commitments. | | ** Natural gas plant liquids, refinery gain, alcohol fuels, etc. |
If all we want to do is become just as dependent on imports of foreign oil as we are on domestic supplies, then our country should adopt the Demolightworkerrats' Co-Dependency "Plan"™. (This of course unrealistically assumes that the crumbs lousy drilling leases they've tossed down to us are really as full of crude as they are of crap crud.)
But if we want to truly declare our independence from the dual tyranny of do-nothing Demoqrat Party terraphiliacs (when they're not busy hatefully trying to control and ruin our economy and lives in order to prop their extremist selves up) and terrorist-coddling Third World despots (ditto), we must nearly quadruple our production of domestic oil:
After quadrupling
domestic crude production |
Demand | | >21 | MMbd | all petroleum |
Supply | | 0 | MMbd | foreign crude | | >18 | " | domestic crude† | | 3 | " | other sources | |
† Excludes 1 MMbd structured for export commitments and up to 1 MMbd for expanding exports and reserves. |
Which means we must at least double the acreage of drilling leases that the Peloseri-Reamed Demoqrat Par tyrants mule-headedly want to still limit us to, given that they obviously prefer to do nothing so that, yes, they can unnecessarily and sadistically prolong our suffering. This, in turn, brings up the most important equation: How many America-loving Democrats would there need to be in the House and Senate before they have enough votes to show those misleaders of theirs how miserably failing and out of touch such mistaken Just Say No to Drilling®, (give us the) business-as-usual regressiveness is with everything the American people, in ever louder and louder voices, are now expressly demanding?
Of course, Nasty Pelooni, Scary Screed, and the rest of the status-quo Demohoaxerrat "leader"ship have already done the math here (or at least here).
And they didn't even have to worry about running out of fingers and toes before adding those figures up.

hen you know people in such high places as that Stinking Brothel on a Hill®, where prostitutes with charming names like Senator and Representative turn more tricks per week than all the ones ever turned in Nevada since that state joined the Union, it doesn't matter how much trouble you get into from your corrupt freewheeling using other people's money.
The collective madams with hearts of gold, each bought and paid for with other people's money (namely, ours), are going to shower you with more of that same people's money so you can keep right on doing it the moment the heat is off.
Except those golden showers of theirs are only going to wind up hosing us.
Fannie, Freddie, and their pleasured John Juan and Barack, meanwhile, will all get highly paid for their bailout orgy foursome "freebie," doing things that would make Eliot Spitzer blush. Courtesy, of course, our money.
Then they'll break out the bamboo and whips and use them some more on us. (Mistress Juanita likes to call it "'caining." But don't expect him her to hear anything when her victims scream the safe word "Enough!" That's because Mistress Obambi instead wants them all to yell "Assez!" — or "merci beaucoup, puis-je avoir un autre?" if he's she's wearing her crotchless bus driver's uniform and The Rev. Jesse Hacksaw isn't anywhere around.)
Enough Assez already!

So none of them can anymore engage in such morally depraved congress.

Or windmills and solar panels.ither "alternative" has the same chance of lowering fuel prices in the next few years decades centuries.
If we covered the land from sea to shining sea with the latter, they might be able to supply, at most — given only consistently windy conditions and cloudless days all across it, of course — a quarter of the electricity our nation must have for her economy to keep growing.
Even assuming we're able to build that many without entirely diverting our manufacturing output from practically every other type of production, and without astronomically increasing our national debt from all the new outlays for necessary land leases and eminent domain purchases, any hope of getting them all "online" in time to make a real difference would require the most unrealistic redefining of the phrase "humanly possible."
Which, it so happens, is exactly what Demokick-the-canic Party Politburo leaders propose we do here and again and again down the road. (Now you know which "can" they've been talking the talk about all along with their Yes, We Can Hope for Change in the Future™ blather.)
No, we can't renew-a-babble our way out of the energy "crisis."
We can't flex-fuel our way out of it, either, despite how much liberals want to see our grain food prices increase to the point where everyone besides the richest of them is forced to go on a permanent starvation diet.
Most Demoqrats (including Juan MqQain) and other liberals concede we have the ability to start bringing greater supplies of domestically-drilled oil and natural gas online in about five years. That is, if they take down the Big Green® stop signs they've put up out at sea and on faraway barren tundras which for the last several decades have been the only "man"-made things standing in the way of such drilling.
Then why haven't Demoslackers already done so? Why are they still essentially doing nothing? Most importantly, why do they keep ignoring us and what we want?
The only viable answer is that they want Americans and their economy to not only suffer but keep taking hit after painful hit from ever higher and higher fuel prices until we and it are reduced to one giant withering heap of mangled, foreign oil-dependent vassalageness.
That, they arrogantly snort, will teach you for consuming so much and expecting the world to say OK, you fat filthy capitalist!
Actually, liberals know that the only way to stop us from being a free people — the kind they can't control — is to stop all of us from growing economically. With no one other than themselves having material wealth and power, everyone will wind up slavishly dependent on their tinier and tinier crumbs of "assistance" dropped off a larger and larger government table that they feel exclusively entitled to completely and always run. Your only duty then will be to sit at the bus stop and cheerfully wave at al-Gore as he passes by in his gas-guzzling limousine. Oh, and to also never, ever complain about the larger and larger tax withholdings they'll be taking out of your lower and lower paychecks so, yes, he can keep it — and his private jets, too — always filled up.
That's why Juan MqQain and other Demoqrats tell you they're going to make you conserve oil, although their stated intention is to make you totally "move away" from oil. (So there will be more for them, obviously — to keep up with just their Importanter Than Thou's™ personal needs.)
Of course, if you're a liberal, conservation means never having to say you're using whatever it is you say you've been "conserving," even if you actually are using a whole lot more of it. Or to put it tunefully: I fill my home/ With electricity/ While average homes/ Use nine-tenths less, you see/ I fill my cars/ With so much gas.... (© 1970 AlTipp Inspirations)
However, it's not any of their taxpayer-funded silver spoons you should be worrying the most about right now. Nor is it the latest knife Juan MqGreenQoolAid's trying to stab you and the rest of us in the backs with again.
Focus primarily on the forks. Specifically, their forked tongues that demand you fork over to them a lot more of your earnings so you won't find any fork at all in that road they repetitively say they're going to pave over for you and your family with their "good" intentions any day decade now. (That is, if you can afford the extremely expensive fuel they'll be forcing you to buy just to get on it.)
But we do have a real alternative. Specifically, stick a fork in them and their unworkable do-nothing "plans." We won't be done in by either.
Instead we will be taking this available on-ramp so we can head out on the highway that lets us move much more speedily towards the only solution with truly the best chance of helping every American here and farther down the road: more and more domestic drilling.
Yes, we do. Yes, we will. And, yes, we can.

You better pray to that grotesque simulacrum of semi-humanness in the mirror you call "god" that Captain McCain can't be convinced to drop out the race so the Republican national convention will be free to nominate a state governor who's an actual conservative and who'd make your candidate's false messiah's "credentials to be president" seem as impeccable as any of the third grade holdovers' now in D.C. on a summer school field trip.
Because if, God willing, that happens, then your "inartful" invariable dismissals, insults, ridiculing, and incognizance of not just his but all our veteran and active duty Servicemen and women's heroic service to their country aren't going to be the only proofs we'll bring up again and again of your surly hate, hindrance, and condemnation of everything they amply love, support, and defend.
Unlike that New & Improved Nominee® of ours, your Obaminable snowjobman's extensively documented love of punishing taxes and invasive government controls so, yes, he can strangle and barricade our livelihoods and freedoms, support of "comprehensive" amnesty and other "free" handouts second-hand bribes for lawbreaking invaders of our country so, yes, he can buy their friends and relatives' aiders and abettors' votes, and defense of the terrorist "detainees'" "constitutional" "right" of shooting fish in a barrel making every liberal bleeding heart "judge"birm in the country cry after hearing their trained lies and misdirections aimed at infidels oh, so sad sob stories about killing our Troops and using innocent civilians as human shields "torture" so, yes, he can give them all hope and a better chance to get out and back to the battlefields and kill and maim more of our Troops and us — just for starters — are exactly the types of things Obusthrowyouunder,grandma can't say "aren't what he used to know" once Americans start recoiling from him in horror after we extensively remind them of his love, support, and defense of these and all the other things which together clearly show he's neither trustworthy nor able to lead or protect us or this country.
No, he can't, regardless what he contrives to "prove" his "patriotism" to a "frustrated" people he's personally tried and convicted of bigotry, xenophobia, and "clinging" to their worship of God and protection of self wholly out of "unsurprising bitterness."
Nor can we bring any of these up as effectively while the Panamanian-born foreign deals-making, tax cuts-reviling, First Amendment-hating, amnesty for invaders-billing, anthropogenic global warming KoolAid-drinking, Americans' gun shows-eliminating, ANWR oil-obstructing, Senate gangs-leading, and bring the terrorist enemy on U.S. soil-advocating — just for starters, unfortunately — Juanita Shamnesty MqQain III is the Republican's apparent(ly) Demoqratiq nominee because, yes, he can't stop himself from respectively loving, supporting, and defending the very same things.
But whether or not this señior Demoqrat señátor of Mexico can be convinced to drop out of the race for the good of both the country (i.e., USA) and her two-party system, no one and nothing is going to let you again get away with trying to sully the good name of our Heroes in uniform, no matter how much you spin it as something other than still another example of your chronic maligning of their deeds accomplished in defense of our nation.
Neither does it matter that Captain McCain's record of unquestionable valor, like that of Continental Army General Benedict Arnold at and before Breymann Redoubt, is overwhelmed by his subsequent and repeated betrayal of the American people. Awe-inspiring individual military records such as theirs will always reflect well on the Service, because they never could have established those records without it.
So when you belittle or dismiss either's honorable deeds in uniform, what you're really trying to demean are the deeds of all those wearing it at the time too who — physically or in spirit — truly and faithfully stood alongside him: the subaltern who brought a unit of riflemen up just in time to cover the general's charge, the corpsman who examined the lieutenant commander after his release, the private who stood watch while the general planned the next day's attack, the brother officer who stood over and comforted the commander during what appeared to be his last night on earth, along with all those manning the posts or the ships, requisitioning or delivering ammunition and supplies, recruiting or training volunteers, reporting to or appearing before the Congress, and the many, many thousands of others also in uniform then and there who indisputably assisted them all.
You better hope you never forget that, Disserats. Because, yes, we can guarantee every time you show you have, everyone who indeed supports our Troops certainly will never forgive you.

–Johnincompoop (pun very much intended) MqQain MqMexiqaino - U.S. salmonella probe expands to Mexico: CNN
Fri Jul 4, 1:26 AM ET
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The investigation of a salmonella outbreak in the United States is shifting to the southern border to encompass produce imported from Mexico, CNN reported on Thursday.
U.S. health officials are struggling to find the source of the outbreak linked to certain types of tomatoes.
There have been at least 922 reported cases of salmonella food poisoning in 40 states and the District of Columbia since mid-April, CNN reported.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has alerted growers and brokers handling their products that, starting on Monday, inspectors will stop shipments from Mexico of ingredients common to Mexican cuisine, CNN reported, citing sources familiar with the investigation.
Cilantro, jalapeno peppers, serrano peppers, scallions and bulb onions are among the products to be examined, it said.
Tomatoes continue to be the primary focus of the probe but officials have expanded the investigation to include produce commonly eaten with tomatoes.
An FDA spokesman was not immediately available for comment.
ast month it was both salmonella tomatoes and E. coli Romain lettuce:
- A Second Source Says: "It Must Be Mexico"
June 9, 2008 by Salmonella Lawyer
Bob Drobatz is president of operations for Petaluma Market in Santa Rosa, CA. He told the Santa Rosa Press Democrat that the tomatoes he was pulling from grocery shelves came from Mexico.
Mexico is one of the biggest suppliers of red round tomatoes and the country was conspicuously absent from the FDA "safe" list, Drobatz said....
So, where the Hell did the Salmonella Tomatoes and E. coli Romain Lettuce come from?
[Marler blog's Bill Marler] also asks: In the days of the risk of bio-terrorism, and with the advent of computer technology to pin-point where our books from Amazon are, you would think we would be able to trace-back contaminated tomatoes and lettuce a bit quicker?

- Jalapeños Probed in Outbreak
Tomatoes No Longer Seen
As Prime Suspect for Salmonella
By JANE ZHANG and JANET ADAMY
July 5, 2008; Page A1
WASHINGTON -- Officials investigating the salmonella outbreak now are looking at jalapeño peppers as a leading suspect for spreading the bacteria that has sickened hundreds across the U.S. over the past three months, according to people familiar with the probe.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention initially blamed tomatoes. That led to industry losses of hundreds of millions of dollars, according to the National Restaurant Association, as consumers cut down on consumption and restaurants pulled them from menus.
But as the disease continued to spread, the investigation turned to other foods commonly eaten with tomatoes, in particular to other ingredients used to make salsa. Besides jalapeño peppers, officials are looking at cilantro and Serrano peppers....
Salmonella is a feces-borne bacterium that can cause diarrhea, fever and abdominal cramps. Most people recover without treatment, but in severe cases the infection can cause death. The Saintpaul strain may have contributed to the recent death of a Texas cancer patient. That's the only publicly known fatality linked so far to the current outbreak.
The Food and Drug Dung Administration is trying to flush its Made in Mexican-feces findings down the toilet because the s***'s going to hit the fan once American consumers find out NAFTA has been responsible for poisoning them?
Nah. Never. John Juanita just got back from MqMexiqaino City and would've found out and told us.</sarc>

In this 233rd year of the Independence of the United States of America, may We the People continue to firmly rely on the protection of divine Providence.
In CONGRESS, July 4, 1776.
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.__________We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.__That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,__That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.__Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world._____He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good._____He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them._____He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only._____He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures._____He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people._____He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within._____He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands._____He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers._____He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries._____He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance._____He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures._____He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power._____He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:__For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:__For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:__For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:__For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:__For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:__For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:__For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:__For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:__For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever._____He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us._____He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people._____He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation._____He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands._____He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions. In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people. Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our Brittish brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.__ We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do._____And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.

While the storm clouds gather far across the sea
Let us swear allegiance to a land that's free
Let us all be grateful for a land so fair
As we raise our voices in a solemn prayer
God Bless America
Land that I love
Stand beside her
And guide her
Through the night with a light
From above
From the mountains
To the prairies
To the oceans
White with foam
God bless America
My home sweet home

O beautiful
For spacious skies
For amber waves of grain
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain
America, America
God shed His grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea
O beautiful
For pilgrim feet
Whose stern, impassioned stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness
America, America
God mend thine every flaw
Confirm thy soul in self-control
Thy liberty in law
O beautiful
For heroes proved
In liberating strife
Who more than self the country loved
And mercy more than life
America, America
May God thy gold refine
Till all success be nobleness
And every gain divine
O beautiful
For patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears
America, America
God shed His grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea
| O beautiful
For halcyon skies
For amber waves of grain
For purple mountain majesties
Above the enameled plain
America, America
God shed His grace on thee
Till souls wax fair as earth and air
And music-hearted sea
O beautiful
For pilgrims feet
Whose stern impassioned stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness
America, America
God shed His grace on thee
Till paths be wrought through wilds of thought
By pilgrim foot and knee
O beautiful
For glory-tale
Of liberating strife
When once and twice for man's avail
Men lavished precious life
America, America
God shed His grace on thee
Till selfish gain no longer stain
The banner of the free
O beautiful
For patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears
America, America
God shed His grace on thee
Till nobler men keep once again
Thy whiter jubilee
