Am I abbandoning my country?
Now anyone who speaks out against the goverment is a traitor and terrorist blah blah blah. Well given the lack of important news lately, I have come to a conclusion. I am No longer proud to be an american. People can say how dare you!, or Go to Iraq then. Or im a terrorist. It strikes me funny that someones immdediate reaction is hate and anger. Just because I have lost faith in my country and its people means I should leave? Maybe it means things need to change, maybe it means I dont give a fuck about Don Imus or the basketball atheletes he was speaking about. Noone else gave a shit about them in the mainstream until they were labeled "ho's" First of all it was not , I repeat, NOT racial. He is a nasty person and he shouldn't have said those things, but Anyone can be a nappy headed ho. Hurtful words suck , but they aren't ILLEGAL. but back to my point.
Sometimes we think doing great things can shield us from being completely irresponsible, who am I going after here? Oprah. I just learned that shes having the Rutgers women and the coach on her show...WHY? to make it even more obnoxious and racial related? How many shows have you done about war Ms. Winfrey? The media is playing into the goverment and the government is controlling the media, and until people wake the fuck up and follow the ideals meant to keep us sane and free, I am denouncing America and its practices.
What am I then you may ask? I am a human. I am a human who seeks truth not propaganda. A human who seeks love and wants to share it with anyone willing to accept it. Wether you are iraqi, african , north korean, whatever. America is killing and concealing, and I cant and wont be associated with that. The ideals behind America are great but have been abandoned.
The president is a criminal. The president is a terrorist. The president wants you to believe we are killing them before they kill us. How many of you have known anyone killed my an iraqi? none until we went to war. Those who believe we are fighting terrorists need to wake up or shut up. its stupidity that is affecting us. Truth is all we have and until we reach for it, every patriotic rambling uttered means jack shit to me.
I am lucky to be born into a prosperous country, and I am thankful. The fact that folks seem to think theres nowhere better fills me with rage. Right now as we sit here we are members of a terrorist, torture promoting nation. Does that make you proud to be an american? I am not proud to be an american, I am not proud of our leaders or our media. I want a world flag. There is no longer room for the american flag in my home.
I have been struggling with this for weeks now. Wether I really hated the country or I was misguided. I always said I hate the government but love the people. Now I see it doesnt matter. its an individual judgement. Some people are leading with good intentions, those people are true americans. unfortunately there aren't enough for me to rally behind. I would never betray my country, until it betrays me. and well....here we are.
*I'm editing this coz its sounded so angry. I'm really all about peace. I know no country is perfect, but we are falling fast here people.
