You Can't Go Home Again...
Political bullshit follows in this post. If you're gonna read it, you might be offended. If you ARE offended by it, I warned you. This is my blog, I rule it with an iron fist. That said, read on, if you wish...
"Editor's" note...This is not one of the posts that I mentioned I was working on. It just happened to make me...Well, read on and find out...
Taken from an ABC News Original report titled "Some Say U.S. No Longer Feels Like Home," full text is here...
So, predictably, there are some whiny assholes out there who, because they didn't get their way during the recent presidential election, have donned the sackcloth and ashes (and begun the wailing and gnashing of teeth) and are ACTUALLY contemplating LEAVING THE COUNTRY because the U.S.A. "no longer feels like home."
Good, get out...
Whatever...It seems that It's always the same crap from people like this, gloat and celebrate if they win, but cry and whine and moan when they lose. Their statements reflect such things as "I can't live among people who are OBVIOUSLY so much STUPIDER than I thought...I mean, I KNEW that I was MENTALLY SUPERIOR, but HOW STUPID ARE YOU, AMERICA?" This venomous attitude is reflected well in the ABC report by Leora Dowling, a college professor, and her "husband." In the report, she spat the following words from her festering pie hole:
After the election, my husband and I asked ourselves, 'How could our country be heading backward? How could so many people miss or choose to ignore the obvious failures of the Bush administration?'"
Heading backward? What makes YOU, of all people, the "keeper of the steering wheel" for all of America? These two whiny liberal losers are planning to make a move to Italy where, apparently, people are more free and more intelligent than those of us who make up the unwashed masses in America. The pathetically fake show of sadness (also: despair) continues in the report with the following statement about the "couple":
...there is a broader concern. They say they feel the United States is changing in ways they do not like, and they feel powerless to stop it.
Newsflash, morons! DID YOU GET OUT AND VOTE? Hell, if you did, then you did the bare minimum. If you feel THAT strongly about how the country is doing, why don't you get off of your spotty liberal asses and try and effect social change? We still all have the first amendment on our side, no matter who we voted for, so quit wringing your damn hands, feeling sorry for yourself, lamenting about how "painfully stupid" the rest of America must be and GO DO SOMETHING! But noooo, your dumb asses are simply going to run away because, dammit, You and "America" don't get along anymore! Good riddance, get out. If you can't appreciate the freedom that living here affords you, you don't deserve it. I hope you have a lousy flight to wherever the Hell in Italy feels most like home...
The report drones on, too, giving way too much creedence to the following dimwit who's decided that he knows EXACTLY what's wrong with America...His name is Brian "putting the sin in" Sinicki. He lives (for now) in Laramie, Wyoming. He vomited out the following sentence for ABC's report:
"We were leaving anyhow, mostly because we want to start a family and we don't feel our children can get a decent education in the United States,"
So, where the Hell were YOU educated, Brian? And where you gonna go, buddy? Japan?
It gets better (worse), though...Brian goes on to say...
...America's schools fail children by not teaching subjects like philosophy and civics, subjects that he said would give Americans not only a deeper understanding of the world, but an appreciation for why they should be more actively involved in the political process, not only voting but staying informed...
What the FUCK!? Brian, perhaps YOU simply didn't pay attention in school, but they taught these things to me and, last I checked, they're STILL teaching these kinds of things. Granted, due to the fact that politicians, who have no business shaping education in the first place, have tied funding to standardized tests, things aren't ideal, but it's not the SCHOOL or the TEACHER who's "failing" your (obviously ADD) future child, it's YOU! What the Hell, Brian!? Do you figure that once your sperm has fertilized your wife's greasy egg, your job is done? Get over yourself, asshole. If you feel that your (future) child isn't getting enough out of school, it's probably got a significant amount to do with YOUR parenting skills and YOUR kid's attention span! Figure it out...
Finally, the report had this to say about ol' Brian:
He also criticized the media, and television in particular, for the way news is covered.
Well, holy crap...We actually agree on something. The media IS becoming more and more self absorbed everyday, not presenting news so much as presenting controversy simply for the sake of controversy, whether it's real, imagined or manufactured. In fact, I'm not sure that most major networks could tell the difference between "real news" and "sensationalism." Case in point?
This whole stupid report...
