Shame on us! We allowed fear to take over our minds, gave up our freedoms for supposed "safety" that never materialized, and let a bunch of Republican fascists tear up the Bill of Rights without so much as a peep of protest. Those who did have backbone enough to cry out were silenced with the threat of more "terror" attacks should we remain free. And we fell for it every time! We cheered our drunken president on when he called for war against any countries who "harbored terrorists", cheered as our troops murdered their way through Iraq because that liar told us Saddam Hussein was behind 9/11! We cheered when he proclaimed we had to right to depose any foreign leader we didn't like---under the despicable euphemism of "Regime Change". Of course, all Dubya did was to make public what our CIA had been doing privately since the 1947 National Security Act, but we knew we couldn't "win" the Cold War without cheating, right? Saddam Hussein was our boy, the School Of The Americas (another euphemism! It only taught how to kill and other lovely stuff) taught him everything he knew. So was Osama bin Laden! And we're so shocked to learn that our wonderful, democratic government now considers us to be the terrorists? Hell, we're the ones running Al Qaeda now! Google it. Go on, I dare you.
No, I can't be "patriotic" anymore. If there were any other country where I could go, I would. Truth is, the whole world has been f***ed over by us, so there is nowhere else now. Go, celebrate your mindless nationalistic paganism, you fools, but don't expect me to bend my head while some damned idiot on a podium intones a prayer as the national rag goes up (made in Taiwan, I bet!). God isn't on our side, and never was. We're not on his side, either---not after all we've done. If he ever comes back, we'd better hide. And if we ever want to be America again, we'd damn well better get off our knees!
