I'm sick and tired of being told that I'm out of the mainstream

Just because I'm not a fundy kool-aid drinking Bushlicker

I've been around the world, that's not how things work.

Somebody ought to tell these fools that, in this world, they're only a small part of a minority.

Despite the facts, the right-wing noise machine drones on.

1. The rest of the world agrees with us

I was in Colombia over the holidays to visit my family and they kept asking me, "what the hell is up with you gringos?"

5. Our education system teaches us to be egocentrical

Most Americans grow up believing we are all that matter in the world.
That the world is dependent on the US.
But I've done a lot of traveling and realized the world can pretty much operate on its own.

7. Interesting. And what was your answer? What could you possibly say

that would explain how a nation that was a beacon of freedom and education (except for the poor, always except for the poor) in many respects, a leader in the medical field, a leader in technology, etc. turn out to be such bunch of weak superstitious bastards that would let a known coward and liar and all around thug run this place into the ground. Went from the richest nation on earth to practically a third world hellhole who's currency soon won't be worth the beads that the first white men used to cheat the Indians.

Just curious.

9. I told them I hated Bush

And that americans who voted for bush are ignorant. I also told them that I believe the vote was robbed, but the actual vote was close enough where they could swing the theft.

6. You're not out of the mainstream. Not even in America.

The people who say that to you do so because they believe the bullshit spewed out by the fascist corporate whore "media".
