We Aren't So Bad (An idiot pushed my button today)

We Aren’t So Damn Bad!
The idiocy of the so-called educated people of the world absolutely amazes me at times. From kindergarten through college the socialistic leaning teachers and professors indoctrinate our children into believing like they do. They have a captive audience with malleable minds which they mold to fit their idea of the world. So many of the good teachers and professors go unheard, drowned out in the babble of those that find fault in each and everything America does. So many of the young men and women never shake off this mindset and actually see the world for what it really is.

The buzzword these days by the so-called educated elite is that America is evil. We only fight for oil and money. They also cry that we are the biggest polluters in the world. Try visiting the socialistic paradise of China. Ask the Polish people what the utopia of the USSR did to their rivers and lands. Go to Cuba and enjoy the Socialist paradise there.  Move to China and various other countries and spout your hate. They will welcome you with open arms unless you say something against them. Tell them about how great the killing fields were. Tell them how wonderful the ethnic purges in the Middle East are.  Let them bask in the glory of gassing hundreds of thousands of their own people . Tell them how wonderful they are to hate Christians, Jews or even different factions of their own faith. They will welcome you with open arm. Tell them how wonderful they are for killing gays, stoning women to death because they got raped and brought dishonor on their family.

The old USSR had a plan which was to infiltrate the free societies of the world and conquer from within. This was to be accomplished by subverting certain people, among which was teachers into their mindset. This in turn would give them an inroad to indoctrinate innocent minds into believing that socialism was the right way. Does this sound familiar? It should because that was the same tactics used by the Nazis and by the ever so great hero of these type people, the Chairman, the great (puke) Mao Tse Tung. The sad fact of the matter is that it has worked in so much of the world. Control the minds of the children and control the country. Even here in the USA we have whole generations of children and adults that believe so. In Europe and Asia, Australia, South America and many other places there is a growing belief among the younger generations that this is the way.

Never mind history, to them history needs to be re-written. Isn’t it funny, that someone who loves his country, even if he sees the flaws, is called a jingoist? That word is a favorite of people who hate anyone who does not believe their way. Usually these people believe in Marxism or Socialism, so if you don’t you are a jingoist. They complain that Americans are “like strutting peacocks” overseas. Strange, every Frenchman I have met over here thinks they are God’s gift to the world. Every British person tends to look down their nose at us. Each German I have met tends to be so class conscious that he is superior or inferior to anyone else. The people I have met from Middle Eastern countries expect you to honor their dietary needs and do not want to be offended by seeing you eat YOUR cuisine of choice, but WE are arrogant strutting peacocks. To top it all off, they call us Yanks which I find offensive. Yanks or Yankee was a term King George’s men gave to us. They even made up a song to disparage us,  Yankee Doodle. What did we do? We took their damn song, turned it around and threw it in their faces. I am an American, not a Yank no more than Australians are Limey’s.

Did you ever wonder why Socialism has never worked? Of course you haven’t. You are conditioned to believe that the democratic regimes of the world have always brought about its downfall. The truth is that socialism does not work. I’ve heard them hold China up as a shining example. Even there, the Chinese government found out that pure socialism cannot work. They have now allowed ownership of property and allowed people to start and run businesses.

If socialism works so well, then why are they always bent on conquest and suppression of human rights? Ever wonder why the first thing that is suppressed is freedom of the press? Ever wonder why the next thing that is suppressed is religion? The first suppresses knowledge of what is happening; the second suppresses hope. That way they have total control. The next thing they do is threaten families, neighbors, communities into believing that anyone who would say anything against them is a danger. They threaten you or your family with torture or imprisonment if you don’t report it and are found to have known about it. If socialism is so great then why is it that you always end up with a few in power? Why does everyone live in poverty except for the few who are capable of running things and controlling the populace?  Why do they wind up living a life of luxury while those that are subject to the tyrannical rule struggle just to stay alive? Why does the government want to have control of every aspect of your life?

They control your food supply, your travel, your learning, your healthcare and THEY not YOU decide what is best. Isn’t it supposed to be that “From those with the ability to those without”? Didn’t you ever wonder what that really means? It means that if you have knowledge, ability and the drive to succeed, the fruits of your labor don’t mean anything. It means that nothing, not even your knowledge amounts to anything. It belongs to the person who sits on his ass and doesn’t even try. Didn’t you ever wonder why the old saying in the USSR was, “standing up or sitting down, it all pays the same”? Do you really understand the meaning of that? It means that if you work you get no more than the idiot that doesn’t know one end of a shovel from the other. Why work? Why exert yourself? Why learn anything? Why work to the best of your ability to produce a crop, a new vehicle, a revolutionary new approach to designing or inventing a way to do something easier and more efficiently? Why do anything since it doesn’t mean anything? Why do countries with socialism as their premise almost always end up with terror as its motivating force? Because they are afraid of anything they do not have 100% control of. They are afraid someone might have an original thought. They are afraid someone might learn something that isn’t part of their indoctrination.

Down the USA, call it evil, call it interfering, and call it decadent! Frankly, I don’t give a damn! We have made mistakes. One of our biggest was feeding the Soviet Union when the people were starving. We should have kept our food for ourselves. Socialism is so great that they didn’t give a damn. The wonderful Mr. Stalin didn’t have any qualms about killing thousands upon thousands of his people. Why should we worry about it? Every soviet dictator that followed didn’t give a damn if they starved, were shot, imprisoned, murdered or just plain tortured. Why should we worry about human beings? Call us evil, I don’t give a damn. Our second mistake was entering WW I. We should have let Europe fend for its own damned ass. We should have let all the assholes that are quick to condemn America perish under the yoke of tyranny. Instead we came to the rescue sacrificing lives and money to help them win their freedom back only to see them spit on us. Our third mistake was WW II. We stayed out until we were attacked. We should have stayed out period. Instead, we mobilized our people and industry and within a few short years with our help an end was brought to the conquest of Europe and the South Pacific. We bailed the great French out of the takeover of their country and how were we repaid? DeGaul told President Eisenhower that he wanted all Americans out of France to which President Eisenhower replied that, “I would love nothing better than to get all Americans out of France, but it will take quite a while to dig all of them up”. Again I don’t give a damn! South Korea would be living under Communism this moment if not for the USA. Vietnam, we could have kept free except for the damn Socialist left in our own country that ended up making it impossible to fight. Hanoi Jane is held up as a hero by the Communist regime. That is really something to be proud of. So many lives lost for nothing!


As far as I am concerned the USA should turn its back on every one of these damn fool nations that scream for our money and our aid in time of crisis then spit in our faces. I say spit back and walk away. When there is a disaster someplace, the USA is the first to help and these people scream that America is the great evil. Where are these people when a disaster strikes us? I never see a damn one of them offer us help. Well, I don’t give a damn. Let them starve; let them drown in their own socialistic utopias. Suppress the news, suppress religion, suppress knowledge, suppress travel and control all industry and each and every aspect of their lives. Let them live in poverty and drown in the tide of their own stupidity. Develop our own oil and industry. We have more oil in the USA than Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates combined. Use it instead of playing footsie with all these damn countries that hate us. Close our borders, keep the damn fools out. Deport the idiots in our own country that believe in this stupidity. Let them bask in the glory of mediocrity. Let them call everyone that doesn’t believe in their idealism, jingoists, stupid, wrong and evil. Let them see true unadulterated evil first hand. I don’t give a damn if they like me or not, I’m at the point where I just don’t give a damn about them. Use the damn brains you were born with and do real research, not this damn pablumated crap the socialist's love to feed the ignorant. Learn, use your minds for once and really learn the truth of the world.

Haven’t you ever had the sense to wonder why you are always pointed toward books and documents that support their thinking? Haven’t you ever used your brain enough to understand what their agenda is? Have you EVER tried to disagree with one of them? Haven’t you ever noticed that if you disagree with them their response is to attack and attack and attack? Haven’t you ever wondered why they try to twist history with words like “well only the victors write history”? All I hear everywhere is how evil George Bush and Dick Cheney are. No one has sense enough to realize that when you get down to brass tacks, it is the Congress and the Senate that really run the country. What do the brainwashed American people do? They vote in a liberal Democratic Congress who is going to do something about rising gas prices and promise to restore our credibility to the world. Now we have record high gas prices. Their solution to the higher gas prices is to try to pass a windfall profits tax on the oil companies without a damn bit of sense as to what that would mean. All they want is more and more money to support their liberal socialist agenda and have you pay for it. They don’t even know where the term “Windfall Profits” comes from because the infiltration of our schools by liberal socialists doesn’t want them to learn it.

We listen to people who support terrorism and claim we are the fault. We listen to people that think being subservient to some petty dictator will give us security. We listen to people that think we should coddle and understand criminals who rape, maim and murder because they are just a victim of the social climate. If we let these people have their way the world will have a return to total fear and total slavery, not only of the body, but of the mind as well. We will be totally incapable of defending ourselves or anyone else. We will be unable to make enough food to feed ourselves much less the hungry of the world. If we keep listening to them we will wreck the economy of this nation by staying dependent on foreign sources of oil and refusing to use and develop our own.

If we listen to them and their great myth of global warming and radical environmentalism we will become a third world nation while the other ones who don’t will flourish. If we listen to them, not only will there be no freedom of religion, but no freedom whatsoever. Now ask me why I support my country even with the faults and mistakes we make? The reason is a very simple one. It is one most do not learn in history books in school anymore. It is simply that I value my freedom. My freedom of body, my freedom to speak out when I think something is wrong. I value my freedom to learn and to believe as I want to believe. I value the freedom to look at my neighbor without fear that he may report me as being subversive.  I value the freedom to make of myself what I will, to know that my children are not dependent upon the whim of the powers that be from cradle to grave. It isn’t always pretty, but we aren’t so damn bad!
Most assuredly, I am respectfully,
