Patriotism? Oh REALLY??

I'm so sick of that word it actually makes me slightly nauseous.

IT'S THE 21ST FUCKING CENTURY, PEOPLE. The world has shrunk to the size of the largest IP address.

Dust from the Sahara lands on the midwest.
You can measure isotopes from Chernobyl on the South Pole.
EUROPE, who couldn't even bring together "The Common Market" has forged "The European Union."
NOTHING is made here.
CHINA owns a substantial portion of the National Debt.
Global Warming is just that: GLOBAL.

HELLO??? Anybody home?

You want to know what keeps the third world from coming over here and WRENCHING the food out
of your wife and kids' mouths (besides the Armed Forces)?

The Oceans
The Mojave Desert
2000 miles of Canadian prarie.

THAT'S IT.

We are geographically isolated, and that's the only thing left besides bombs that keeps us able
to throw away more food than we eat, burn more fuel than the rest of the world combined, and
live in a manner that the rest of the planet can only be shocked and marvel at.

You know what Patriotism is? Sanctified Nationalism. Every Nation has had it, from the
Greek City States, to the Roman Republic, to the City States of the Renaissance, to the
French Republic to Our Republic, to the Imperial Germans, Even the IMPERIAL RUSSIANS
considered their revolution an act of Patriotism.

Hooey. Baloney. Self righteous and self deluded nonsense.

TIME TO WAKE UP, PEOPLE. "We must all hang together or we shall all hang seperately..."
MUST be applied GLOBALLY, or we might as well let the Pig Bush and his minions find their
excuse to bring on the Nuclear Rapture.

We are demonstrating what happens when crazy powermad sociopaths take over the most powerful
goddamned empire the world has ever seen. This CANNOT keep happening. KLAATU is NOT coming
down in a saucer to save us from ourselves.

My opinion? Business as usual. And when, in the darkness of night, I allow myself to think
about this monstrous BULLSHIT, I get anxiety attacks the ZOLOFT can't even SCRATCH.

When I hit 60 in a few years and start lying around for a living, I'm going to grow POT
in my garage attic and stay STONED until I'm DEAD, because this shit is NOT going to change.
It's only going to get worse, as that is the only evidence I'VE seen in 53 years.

is little more than high school rah-rah shit. At least that's what the Freepers think, and what they project.

A little honest patriotism, in which one tries to make the country better, and the world better, too, is a concept all too foreign to them.

I think that's also why so much government energy, money and time goes into promoting sports to everyone starting at a very young age. It gets people used to rooting for a team, even if the connection is totally arbitrary. Once you start think in terms of my team and their team it's a short political step to nationalism.

THEY are all ganging up to beat the economic cream cheese out of US.

Maybe it's about time.

- Schopenhauer

A concept that I totally agree with.

just like the rest of the TERRITORIAL and BREEDING RIGHTS oriented species do, draw BORDERS around our pissing ground, run up a flag and say GOD BLESS US.

GOD is probably LAUGHING his eternal ass off with Kreuschev.

Makes me think that the person marches in the parade in Williamsburg wearing a revolutionary war costume. Otherwise it has no meaning.
