venting plasma from the nacells

last night i really, really upset a friend of mine by declaring that i wasn't proud to be an american. well, i'm not. there is so much shit wrong with this nation and all we dumb apes do is make it worse every day through our inaction, ignorance and lack of empathy. children go hungry here, there's no universal health care coverage, people are homeless (and their numbers are rising), the government has way too much power, our infrastructure is collapsing and rich people lord it over the rest of us poor schmucks who are too goddamn retarded to see the game is rigged in favor of those with money and political connections. so there. my friend on the other hand is fiercely loyal to america. she loved george bush and thought he was just tits as president (never mind he was never lawfully elected), thinks obama hates america (thanks a lot you right wing douche bags) and is red, white, blue, baseball, mom and apple pie. good for her. i'm happy she can look her nation in the eye and be at peace with all the shenanigans, darkness and filth. me, i can't do that. i was raised with morals, virtue and charity. when i see wrongness i must speak up and out. when i see what an abomination we have made of the lofty dreams of our founding fathers i get so angry that i feel like i'm being raped in the face. when i see the poor, the hungry, those wearing tattered clothes or left to fall between the cracks of our 'compasionate' society i just go mad with disgust. this is not the america the founding fathers wanted. hell, it's not even the america you wanted. this is the america corrupt politicians and greedy, rich, white folk want. to them america is just a means to an end that makes them richer. greedy, rich, white people and politicians don't love america, they love it's money. these covetous fuckers don't share our values, our ideals or our love for this nation yet they have done just a fantastic job convincing you idiots that they do. in fact many of you have your noses so far up the asses of the rich and the political that you don't love america any more than they do. you don't cherish our constitution or the bill of rights, you've turned your back on freedom and justice, you have betrayed all that this nation was founded on for a few greasy fucking dollars. and so here we are. rich versus poor, the real culture war. naturally the rich trumpet how great it is to live in a majority rules democracy and many of you buy this lie and are okay with it even though majority rules is another name for repression and tyranny. we are a republic (or we're supposed to be) and in a republic the minority is always to be protected from the fickle whims of the majority! but that's not true here is it? we have shucked off our proud, inspiring heritage for a couple of bucks. we have sold our birthright like esau and for what? what have we gained by selling the soul of this once great nation? why are we such bad stewards of our constitution and our heritage? yeah, i'm not proud to be an american. there are literally more freedoms in canada and free health care. just call me a canuck and get me the hell off this sinking ship we call the united states. fuckers.
