The good ole USA has turned into the cry baby nation where easily offended by general phrases. I believe it falls back to the I can sue anyone for anything. Not the lawyers fault, (maybe partially) but dang, lighten up american our fore fathers would role over in their graves if they could see what we've become.
I cringe a little every time someone throws out the "forefathers card" I personally don't care how much rolling they do. We evolved. They can deal with it or not. They would roll over a lot of things. Women voting! Black people voting! and owning property!...hell, Catholics voting! Great Britain our #1 ally! Angelina's voluntary mastectomy! Anyone named Bush! and most certainly a black president! Admitting that the French finished the Revolutionary war for us!
They did their part. Then they left it with room for improvement and adaptation/evolution for future generations. They don't have to live here any longer. We do...so why feel obligated to stagnate? It's no dishonor to the forefathers that we are, despite our quirks and even Justin Bieber, still the greatest civilization ever to occur, or not only have we stayed current with modernization, but have led the way or been on top on most fronts, especially militarily. They would probably roll over wondering why we bother fighting wars, winning them and then not raising our flags there and owning those countries afterwards...but again...
