"God Bless America" commentary by George Carlin

[RSherman]

"Politicians say it at the end of every speech as if it were some sort of verbal tic that they can't get rid of...They should admit that "God Bless America" is really just some sort of an empty slogan, with no real meaning except for something vague like 'good luck'. 'Good luck, America, you're on your own' which is a little bit closer to the truth."

1. Just a canned response like "Thoughts and Prayers"

Or "How are you doing?" when you don't really care and the other person isn't really going to tell you.

"How are you doing, America?" Much better now, thank you!
