Confession Time: I'm a "Bad" American! [View All]

Well, at least according to some people, I am! Why? Let me give you a list:

1. I've been paying off my debt and have very little left. I also haven't taken on any new debt in over two years. BAD, BAD AMERICAN!

2. I don't partake of TV news at all. Not in any form. On any station or network.

3. I don't even have satellite or cable. Aw, hell, let me totally fess up, but shhhhh! I rarely watch TV at all! Keep that between us, I don't want to be reported or anything.

4. I don't worship the flag. I don't have flag stickers on everything that will stay still. I don't have a flag sweater for my dog to wear. I don't own red, white and blue tennis shoes. I know it's just a symbol. The actual flag doesn't protect me. Wrapping myself in it tighter and tighter will only suffocate and blind me. WHAT A BAD AMERICAN!

5. I have religious beliefs, but I don't go to church, which means I will go to hell for being a BAD AMERICAN. Also, I don't tell people what religion I am, nor do I ask them about theirs. I don't flaunt my religion on my bumper or on my clothing or jewelry. Horrible, isn't it?

6. If other countries don't want to go along with what we want to do, that's their right and I don't get all pissed off at them and hate the whole country because they don't agree with our foreign policy. Who said they had to?

7. My home is powered with wind energy, I recycle and drive as little as possible. That's probably one of the worst ones of all!!!

8. I don't think supporting the troops means rah-rahing any old foreign policy that comes along. I think it means questioning how the government wants to use the troops and making sure they are only used in proper manners. The troops must do as they are told, but civilians can act as their voice. Now THAT'S supporting the troops. Oh and instead of slapping some magnetic sticker on the back of my car, I send care packages with things they need, like toothpaste, toilet paper, body armor.

9. I think what consenting adults do in their bedroom is their business.

10. I think separation of church and state is a good thing and should be protected to the utmost. Feel free to believe whatever you want, worship whatever you want, but don't inject your church into the government.

11. I think it's a shame that in the richest country on the planet, kids go to schools with leaky roofs and study from textbooks held together with tape and staples, parents don't take their kids to the doctor because they can't afford it, and people still live in cardboard boxes.

But HEY! We got BOMBS! :crazy:

How are YOU a "bad" American?
