Can't Wash America Out of My Hair

Here in my somewhat leftie neighborhood there's a huge banner hanging on the side of someone's house. It says:

America Sucks the Oil-Filled Dick / No War for Sanctimonious Pricks

Other than the gratuitous swearing, I don't know why this sets up my back. I'd probably be happy to see it if I were still in the States — if only as a contrast to the 5 billion American flags I saw when I was back in Little Rock during the holidays.

For me, America is like an irritating loud-mouthed relative that you're stuck with. She annoys you, you abuse her constantly, but as soon as someone outside the family talks smack about her, you inexplicably get defensive.
