Bad American
« on: March 11, 2004, 06:58:00 AM »
BAD AMERICAN

I'm a Bad American-this pretty much sums it up for me. I like big trucks, big boats, big houses, and naturally, pretty women.

I believe the money I make belongs to me and my family, not some midlevel governmental functionary with a bad comb-over who wants to give it away to crack addicts squirting out babies.

I don't care about appearing compassionate.

I think playing with toy guns doesn't make you a killer. I believe ignoring your kids and giving them Prozac might.

I think I'm doing better than the homeless.

I don't think being a minority makes you noble or victimized. I have the right not to be tolerant of others because they are different, weird or make me mad. This is my life to live, and not necessarily up to others expectations. I know what SEX is and there are not varying degrees of it.

I don't celebrate Kwanzaa. But if you want to that's fine; I just don't feel like everyone else should have to.

I believe that if you are selling me a Dairy Queen shake, a pack of cigarettes, or hotel room you do it in English. As of matter of fact, if you are an American citizen you should speak English. My uncles and forefathers shouldn't have had to die in vain so you can leave the countries you were born in to come disrespect ours, and make us bend to your will. Get over it.

I think the cops have every right to shoot your sorry butt if you're running from them after they tell you to stop. If you can't understand the word 'freeze' or 'stop' in English, see the previous line. I don't use the excuse "it's for the children" as a shield for unpopular opinions or actions.

I know how to count votes and I feel much safer letting a machine with no political affiliation do a recount when needed. I know what the definition of lying is, and it isn't based on the word "is"-ever.

I don't think just because you were not born in this country, you qualify for any special loan programs, gov't sponsored bank loans, etc., so you can open a hotel, 7-Eleven, trinket shop, or any thing else, while the indigenous peoples can't get past a high school education because they can't afford it.

I didn't take the initiative in inventing the Internet. I thought the Taco Bell dog was funny.

I want them to bring back safe and sane fireworks.

I believe no one ever died because of something Ozzy Osbourne, Ice-T or Marilyn Manson sang, but that doesn't mean I want to listen to that crap

from someone else's car when I'm stopped at a red light. But I respect your right to.

I think that being a student doesn't give you any more enlightenment than working at Blockbuster or Jack In The Box.

I don't want to eat or drink anything with the words light, lite or fat-free on the package.

Our soldiers did not go to some foreign country and risk their lives in vain and defend our Constitution so that decades later you can tell me it's a living document ever changing and is open to interpretation. The guys who wrote it were light years ahead of anyone today, and they meant what they said - now leave the document alone, or there's going to be trouble.

I don't hate the rich. I help the poor. I know wrestling is fake. I've never owned, or was a slave, and a large percentage of our forefathers weren't wealthy enough to own one either. Please stop blaming me because some prior white people were idiots - and remember, tons of white, Indian, Chinese, and other races have been enslaved too - it was wrong for every one of them.

I believe a self-righteous liberal Democrat with a cause is more dangerous than a Hell's Angel with an attitude.

I want to know exactly which church is it where the "Reverend" Jessie Jackson preaches; and, what exactly is his job function.

I own a gun, you can own a gun, and any red blooded American should be allowed to own a gun, but if you use it in a crime, then you will serve the time.

I think Bill Gates has every right to keep every penny he made and continue to make more. If it makes you mad, then invent the next operating system that's better and put your name on the building. Ask your buddy that invented the Internet to help you.

I don't believe in hate crime legislation. Even suggesting it makes me mad.

You're telling me that someone who is a minority, gay, disabled, another nationality, or otherwise different from the mainstream of this country has more value as a human being that I do as a white male. If someone kills anyone, I'd say that it's a hate crime. We don't need more laws! Let's enforce the ones we already have.

I think turkey bacon, turkey beef, turkey fake anything sucks. I believe that it doesn't take a village to raise a child-it takes a parent with the guts to stand up to the kid and spank his butt and say "NO!" when it's necessary to do so. I'll admit that the only movie that ever made me cry was Ole Yeller. I didn't realize Dr. Seuss was a genius until I had a kid.

I will not be frowned upon or be looked down upon or be made to keep silent because I have these beliefs and opinions. I thought this country allowed me that right. I will not conform or compromise just to keep from hurting somebody's feelings. I'm neither angry nor disenfranchised, no matter how desperately the mainstream media would like the world to believe otherwise. Yes, I guess by some people's definition, I may be a bad American.

But that's tough.

Nugent, right??

Prohibition will work great injury to the cause of temperance. It is a species of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded.
--Rep. Robert L. Henry, TX December 22, 1914 (quoting Lincoln)

Yeah, someone sent it to me about two years ago.  It is pretty good.

Don't even agree with him on a lot of things... but his outspokenness is refreshing.

I hope I can own a 2,000-pound buffalo one day.

Beautiful!

   I don't agree with everything but it seems very sincere.

   By the way, Ozzy Osbourne rocks!

   Peace!

ABSO-FUCKIN-LUTELY.  It may not be the perfect, but it works for me.  I could be in a LOT worse places.

Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves. When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the Universe.  -- My First Summer in the Sierra , 1911, page 110.

its great to see you post your opinions, sorry i thought i logged in to that one, and yes i am technically american but i am completely embarassed by the actions of my "fellow americans" and have been for some time. I am not saying that theyre aren't worse places we could all be. but thats not the point i was trying to make, there are worse places than elan so should we celebrate elan and chant the fight song. all that i was trying to say is that maybe we should take a look at both sides and maybe we shouldnt be too proud and comfortable in our excess

Unfair comparison, Elan to America.  Of course I wouldn't go around chanting the Elan song, but I WILL still sing Am. the Beautiful or the Star Spangled Banner.  I'm proud of America.  Does that mean I agree with all we do?  No, but I still think it's a damn good place to live.  It's not perfect, no society is.  BUT.....that's part of what makes it so great to live here.  If you don't like something about it you CAN speak out...speak out about it all you want, but just because there are faults with our system doesn't mean you trash the country as a whole.

Ardent advocates of prohibition were obsessed by a zeal that bordered on fanaticism. They supported politicians who voted to outlaw liquor, no matter how much of it they privately consumed, and spurned politicians who voted against prohibition, no matter how sober they were personally.

You poor fools.  America is on a collision course and everything you feel so safe in believing is disappearing before your very eyes.  You "I'm an American, and I can believe any shit I want to believe" is not going to prevent the complete destruction of our country or our constitution.  Can you say, BYE BYE FREEDOM.  Our only hope is that people will not give up their guns.  That is the one problem the "powers that be" have with americans.  If we defend our rights to bear arms to the death, we will at least have a fight.  Unfortunately, I see too many people willing to hand over their freedoms too easily.  Our government is good at scaring us out of them.  The Patriot Act!!!!!  Watch out for this one.  

You are playing right in the hands of the people trying to destroy our country.  While you keep yourself convinced that this country is yours for the taking rather than yours for the giving, you are being enslaved.  The powers that be have sold you, your children, and your grand children to a life of drudgery.  Your future  is taxed upon taxed upon taxed.  There is only one way out - deflation and depression.  (This would not be the little depression of your grandparent's, by the way.)   Purging the system of its corrupt financial institution and all its fiat currency is the only end game I can see.  However, this is not a very popular political scenerio, so inflation will continue as long as our government can pull it off.  That means more debt and more tax for you and me.  Eventually, inflation leads to hyper inflation and then you get deflation.  So, it comes back to the same end.

If anyone can find in history an example of any gevernment that massed produced fiat currency without this ultimate outcome, please let me know.  I'm open to any hope that this country can excape this fate - cheat the universe from it's natural laws.

The veils are coming off one by one, but some of us can't even see the veils.
