You have to wonder if all these "patriots" who sneer when they use word "yankee" are the types to cringe when Yankee Doodle Dandy is played. George Washington and all the other revolutions were sneered at and called "yankees" by the Brits and every American-hating foreign body likes to use the word "yankees" in a similar condescending, sneering tone. They should move to France or Mexico, they'd be right at home with all the other "yankee" haters.

Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, John Adams, Henry Knox were all "Yankees." Where would the nation be without them?
