Your earlier post suggested there might be some difficulty. Perhaps your post was just coloured by your obvious dislike of Springsteen. If you do understand the lyrics are the fictional narrator's opinions and not necessarily Springsteen's, then that is fine and dandy.

Right. And your posts "suggest" you might be a pompous @ss.

I suppose you were in Springsteens head when he wrote the song, right? Perhaps he claims as you do so as not to appear Anti-American.

I actually don't care one way or the other about the man. I was just trying to make a point. The only reason I am replying now at all is that you are extremely annoying.
