Patriotism: A Right or a Privilege?
Page

Yes, I'm guilty of making fun
of the President every once in a while. But it's just so damn
easy. It was fun with Clinton cause he was such a louse, and
it's a riot with "W" because he seems like he was just
a "daddy's boy" riding the coat-tails of his predecessor
to the White House. But in the end, he is the President. He is
our leader. Even if (thank Christ it didn't happen) Al Gore was
elected, I would be giving him the same support. That is what
being an American is all about. Even if your candidate did not
win, you SUPPORT the guy who did. He becomes your leader. Accept
it.... Wait, no. That's just stupid. Forget I said that. Yeah, don't blindly follow and support the president JUST BECAUSE he's president... BUUUUUUT, to all you retards out there who won't even give the guy a chance, don't NOT support him just because you DIDN'T vote for him. That's just as, if not more, stupid as saying "he's the prez, seig heil!" What the fuck was my point?....
To back track a little bit more, that's something that other
countries still don't fully understand about our system. Most
of the world thought that we would end up in a civil war because
the last election was so close. Sure, it took a long time to
sort it all out (and Al Gore's people were cheating bastards),
but we never even fired one bullet in protest or revolution.
Now, back to my complaint. On the day of the terrorist attack,
9/11/2001, just a half hour after the Twin Towers were hit, I
posted the terrible news on a message board that I used to frequent.
Within minutes of my post somebody that I know posted a hasty
reply that took a verbal punch to our nation's leader. When several thousand people died in an instant
for no reason.... This person was trying to make his/her/its
political agenda known. Christ! This person probably backed up Bill Clinton when, a few days ago, he stated that we brought this attack on ourselves. That's right, our ex-president claimed that it was 100% our fault the terrorists killed several thousand of our own citizens.
I was pretty pissed off about the whole terrorist thing to
begin with at that point, so I made my feelings known to said
person and gave my opinion about the situation. An apology that
wasn't really an apology was given in return, and talk
of the tragedy continued throughout the day.
(Rossman break.
I just wanted to point out to you that I am aware of the fact
that the greatest and bestest thing about this country is that
you CAN say whatever the hell you damn well please whenever the
fuck you want to say it. That is a great right to have. Most
countries in the world don't allow that. But just don't abuse
it.
You might really like that "freedom to say anything"
part of the Constitution, but without the rest of the document,
or the fact that we have an elected official who runs things
for us, you would not have that right at all. I understand that
he may not have been the guy that you personally voted for, but
ya know what? I don't give a shit. He's your leader now. That's
how it works. Did you think that I liked that slime-ball, Clinton?
Or her husband? But, did you ever hear me bad mouthing him and
not following his national decisions? Yeah, I joked about his
private life, but he was my leader. And I was, am, and will always
be an AMERICAN.
Yoooooooo JOE!!!!!!)

The
Stock Market began ticking again today after being closed all
of last week (the longest closing since the crash in 1929). It
dropped a little, but it will be back. World War I, the Great
Depression, WWII, Korea, 'Nam, the Gulf War, the bombing of the
Twin Towers in 1993.... none of them stopped the market. All
of those events only hindered it for a bit. Fuck you, Osama! |
That was most definitely not the end of it though. After we
learned about the Pentagon, the flight over Pennsylvania and
the collapse of both Trade Towers, most everybody I talked to
and heard from that day was in shock and almost in tears....
Except for another acquaintance of mine, Dick Sucker (not his real name, but the name I will
call him from now on). That pud. That total jizz gargler. What
did he have to say? Nothing except shit like what Clinton would later hang his head low and say. Comments like "We had it
coming to us", "we deserved this", "my blood
boils hot whenever people claim that this is the greatest country
in the world when it is one of the worst", "capitalism
sucks because it makes other countries do this to us" and
"if only we didn't just worship the dollar and if we gave
all of the food that we have to starving nations and saved our
forests and endangered species the world would be alright.".......
This set me off like a motherfuckin' bomb. |
