Except For The Socialists, America Is Great

[debrand]

I like to read Future Fathers because the young man is a little older than my son, Chris. I doubt that they would have much in common. My son is going to college and considers himself a Deist.

Anyway, I thought the remark that the writer wrote about socialists was humorous.

Damn you, socialists. ;)

OK I wrote this a few hours ago but I had some trouble posting it. Sorry for the delay.

Well I hope everyone is having a great Independence Day. While I know that everyone probably knows this, I just want to remind everyone to take time today to remember why we celebrate today and to thank God for giving us this country. Even though we have lost much at the hands of the socialists, we still have it better than any other country in the world. I wouldn’t trade this country for any other and I never will.

As Daniel Webster once said, “I shall know but one country. The ends I aim at shall be my country’s, my God’s and Truth’s. I was born an American; I live an American; I shall die an American.â€

I don't know about you but I cannot begin to explain how much I love my country. God Bless you all and God Bless my country the United States of America. Have a Independence Day!!!!

Hehe I find this comment: "better than any other country in the world", to be remarkable and just as funny as anything. Better in which aspect? Better than which countries...?

I don't think that he has every lived outside of our country so how would he know?

This so reminds me of Sean Hannity's Sunday night program (I'm not interested enough to even know the name of it, but have seen it while channel surfing) where he states, in his most definitive high-pitched voice, squinty eyes squinting even more, that "America is the greatest, best, free-ist nation that God ever put on the face of this earth" or words to that effect. I can just imagine all those right wing religious nuts standing and saluting while he says it. I'm not certain if or when we topped any category of measurement, but I can assure you that, since 2000, we have not been best in any of them.

Socialist? No, most of the damage was done in 8 years of Republican rule. These people are pathetic. I had a teacher tell me in 1982 that the scariest thing happening in this country was the hijacking of the Republican party by the religious right, and I had no idea what he meant at the time. Now he seems positively prophetic.

I'm glad my socialist leanings are destroying these people's happiness. I hope that I and my feminist, pro-government regulation, pro-social welfare, pro-national health care, pro-education self make them miserable and frustrated for decades to come.

You, too, huh? Ironically, though I'd consider myself agnostic these days, I developed a strong social justice view point from.... going to church. :lol:

YES YES YES!!!!

These people sure hate the big ebil socalist government, but I'll bet they like clean drinking water and not living next to a nuclear waste dump!

This country has the weakest socialist movement in the West! What the hell are the socialists supposed to have taken away from them?

Oh, yeah. MAH TAX DOLLAHS. Because I will never get an illness so expensive that I can't afford treatment. I will never lose my job and discover that the only jobs available pay diddly and come with guaranteed physical danger due to crappy industrial plants. I will never be too old and sick to keep my house and if that happens I will have rich relatives who can take me in. Yup. :snooty:

Most USians learned about the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire in school, I think. What most people don't know is that less than a month before all those people died, they proved that they were ebil socialists by trying and failing to form an ebil socialist union to address, you know, locked fire escapes and the rest of the good upstanding capitalist cost-cutting measures that got them all killed.

Hahahaha! I always want the writers of such screeds to take the JFC Socialist Tour (also known as the Magical Mystery Tour but far less exciting.) You will be driven around in a beat up Fiat Punto and the driver will play the Ballad of Joe Hill on repeat.

First stop: a meeting. It will be held in somewhere enticing, like a Burger King. It will also be held at an hour which is entirely incompatible with the working day. I haven't yet decided whether a Socialist Workers' Party or an Anarchist Federation meeting would be more appropriate. Anyway, expect a two hour debate on the most minor theoretical issue known to mankind before adjourning to the pub.

Second stop: the pub. You will be kicked out at closing time while the comrades are still drunkenly debating about the role of the peasant army. They will assure you there is a night bus. There is not. Pack stout walking boots.

Third stop: the picket line. You got in at 2am. You will get up at 5am. You will be issued with a hi viz jacket and an "Official Picket" armband. Brace yourself for four or five hours of attempting to stop scabs crossing the line and handing out leaflets. Also, if you're very unlucky, battling not only a hangover but police and management... who are paying close attention.

Fourth stop: it's the same as the first stop. Rinse and repeat.

Then come back and tell me "the socialists" "rule America" or anywhere else for that matter. LOL. I wish.
