My next book is also set in the eighteenth century. It's about the Revolution, with the focus on the year 1776. It's about Washington and the army and the war. It's the nadir, the low point of the United States of America.

Miss America
You were the apple of the publics eye as you cut the ribbon at the local mall
A mirage for both you and us. how can it be real?
We love your body in that photograph, your home state sure must be proud
The queen of the united states, or have you lost your crown
Well arent you miss america
Dont you miss america
Wont you miss america
Our love
Well are you really who we think you are
Or does your smile seem to wear you down
Is the girl who you once were screaming jump out
And the dream that you must live - a disease for which there is no cure
This roller coaster ride youre on wont stop to let you off
Well arent you miss america
Dont you miss america
Wont you miss america
Our love
Miss america, miss america
Miss america, miss america
Well its true just take a look - the cover sometimes makes the book
And the judges, do they ever ask to read between your lines
In your cage at the human zoo, they all stop to look at you
Next year, what will you do when you have been forgotten
Well arent you miss america
Dont you miss america
Wont you miss america
Our love

The oath of renunciation and allegiance is a solemn vow taken by thousands of immigrants each year to become a United States citizen. The oath is the fundamental statement of allegiance to the United States, and this allegiance is what unites America.
It is time... to end the long-standing and unproductive methodological debate over 'originalism' versus 'dynamism' or 'evolution' and focus instead on how, as a substantive matter, we should interpret the Constitution in the twenty-first century, and what it has to say on questions unimaginable to our eighteenth-century Framers.

The land where my fathers died,
And where I lay my fate,
Declaring independence from big ol’ Britain,
When they came to take us back they got an ass kickin’.

Been living it up since 1868.
We got our freedom, we got the right,
If they try to take it back then there’ll definitely be a fight.

Of the red, blue, and white.
In a havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
A home and a country should leave us no more!

The United States of America have taken their name from the United States of the Netherlands.
America Is Not... Is
America is something far greater
beyond the borders of the united states
America is not made of rock land or sea
America is not the country
we were fooled into
mistaking it to be
America is not a monger of war
not a preacher of nationalism
America does not exploit
the weaknesses of humanity
America has never been
represented accurately
or depicted properly
by those career manipulators
America is not a place
where one man can reject
the presence of another
America is raw unearthed potential
freedom truth beauty equality!
America resides in the heart and mind
America is home of the human spirit
America is a dream of potential earth utopia
America is something we all cherish and long for
America, its time we redefine ourselves
rethink our concept of who we are.

Small Town America,4th of July
Small Town America,4th of July
A young boy with bottle rockets just shot out his eye
Meanwhile in the kitchen his mother makes pie
And in the back of the trailer his dad drowns in rye.
In 1776 they fought for our right
to shoot out our eyes with fireworks in the night
Blow off your fingers, your hands, your feet, and your toes
The more you blow off, the more your patriotism grows
The 4th of July is time to reflect on our forefathers
They killed the Redcoats and Hessians for bombing Pearl Harbor
Because of them we are free and democratic
Because of them we can own a semi automatic
So take out your guns today and fire them for no reason
Shoot your neighbor or your dog for surely they have committed treason
George Washington wrote the Constitution on this day
Let us celebrate and beat up a gay
Blow things up, get drunk, eat ranch sauce, feel fine
Look back to 1776 and party like it's 1999
Small town America,4th of July
Bring back the electric chair and let someone fry
There's not a liberal America and a conservative America - there's the United States of America.
