I am Patrick Perdue! I am bad for you!

I was just reading the Greensboro News and Record, as I do sometimes, and this is the title of one of today's articles. It continues:

"What does your country mean to you? It may be hard to put into words, but we would like for you to try — to put it into four words, that is.
Tell us in a four-word phrase what makes you most proud of the United States. We’ll use some of your phrases in the July 4 edition of the News & Record
and on news-record.com."

And here are my four words for the nation:
I HATE THIS PLACE!

Here are some alternate suggestions:

1. Please go die now


2. not this thing again


3. are we done yet


4. No, don't do that


5. mind your own business


6. you're one to talk


7. stand in the corner


8. go play in trafic


9. you should be ashamed


10. shove off an die

What are they talking about? IT's easy to express my views on this country, or at least it's current state, or maybe just the state of North Carolina in just four words!
Yep, that's me, Mr. Patriotic. After all, Patriotic is almost, but not quite my middle name, in the truest sense of the word.
Just rip out everything after the i. Oh, look, even more irony, how cute!
