Calling this satirical song "pathetic" does little to address its criticism of a powerful cultural current in the US that equates patriotic consumerism with Christianity. Is this critique valid? Why or why not?

I'm proud of most of you MoF discussants for critiquing each other civilly, and targeting arguments rather than people you know nothing about.

This reminds me of the classic line from <i><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0325537/" rel="nofollow">Head of State</a></i>: "God bless America and no place else!" The new genre of country music that can be exemplified by the above really pisses me off. Although, given the whole cross thing, wouldn't Jesus drive a Chevy...? ahahaha! awesomeness.
