fake patriotism

I hate the masses. I hate how we suddenly become patriotic in the last few years. don't get me wrong I am not against patriotism but I am against following the masses in showing patriotism. I really hate people who say they are patriotic but do nothing to prove it. and I do not mean putting a flag on your fount porch. I mean real patriotism. no I am not talking about joining the military or the national guard. you do not have too to be patriotic. don't tell me you love your country and yet do nothing to help it.

don't you dare tell me your patriotic because you sent some candy to the military during the war. your not. that is a patriotic act but only a minor one time act. even if you donate many times that still not enough. you have to ask your self and be honest why are you doing this act. if you are truly honest then most of you will say "because everyone else is doing it". would you still send food and candy if the general opinion about the war is like what the opinion was during the Vietnam war. an honest answer is no. the true patriot act would still send even if he or she hated the war.

they are still our people dammit. most of the military did not sign up to kill and die. most did not know that being in the military means indentured servitude (a slave). I know that sounds stupid but its true. would you sign up if someone told you that most of your right you were born will be taken away and that you have a very good chance that you are going to die violently and painfully. Oh and your pay is sh!t. No I didn’t think so. Most of them just want a better life than what they had before. they are just like you but unlike you they may die so that you can go on watching your friggen reality TV shows on MTV and bitch about the Dixie Chicks.

I hate the bumper sticker remember NYFD or NYPD. what about the people in the friggen planes who died. what about the people in the friggen pentagon who died. yes we have TV specials on the pentagon but ask a average person what 9/11 was about they will go on and on about New York and nothing about DC. the pentagon is our symbol of our friggen military, people. the one who you are giving 10 to 15 % discounts to. Half of the friggen building was blown up. what about the people who died in the buildings when the planes exploded. all the buildings in New York and DC. what about the friggen USS Cole that was bombed killing Navy personnel. no one cries for them except the military and there families. so don't you dare tell me you are patriotic because you sent some deodorant to a faceless military person.

I hate people who were anti patriotic before 9/11 but after 9/11 they were the first to start waving the flag. wtf. I hate the people who have American flag bumper sticker on their cars. these people do nothing but put them there and sit back and congratulate themselves on how patriotic they are. I hate that people think "that is all there is to being patriotic". its not. how you show patriotism is by doing something for your country. vote dammit. even if only local elections. at least there your vote counts. we all hate jury duty but come on that patriotic. if your too lazy to do these things then help out your fellow man. help the children or the elderly who some are true patriots in that they fought for your ass. even the ones who did not fight they still deserve your help. help the sick. understand and help the poor but don’t let them leach off you. doing your taxes does not count as a patriotic act. you are forced by law to do that. f@ck, do something no one is forcing you to do. help out your friggen country and its citizens.

Before you think I am pro government let me set you straight. I hate how we are responsible for the current middle east problems. I hate the fact that we have been causing the middle east problems for decades because we do not want competition. if the Middle East ever united they would rival the united states for power and wealth. we control the worlds food they control the worlds energy. who would win i wonder? I hate the fact that our president has change so much since coming into office. for an example he was against a police state policy as a governor yet as a president he is all for it. WTF

I hate the patriot act. I hate the loss of our personal friggen freedoms. why do we need home front protection. That is what the FBI, CIA and civil authorities are for. so they screwed up badly. find out how and why they did and fix it. don’t waste all that tax money telling me our threat condition is orange and will be forever. The only good thing that has come out of it is finally good security personel at the airports, well at least they do not looking like they are falling asleep . Yea for civil testing.

I hated the war with Iraq. I do not hate the people who are serving there I just hate the government decision to wage war. I served not too long ago and have good friends who are coming back now. they are all ok, thank who or whatever, but they all have stories about how someone they knew got hurt or the horrors they witnessed. I hate that.

don't you dare be swayed into following the crowd by the friggen media. they say they are not biased. ha, right, they are biased in extream. just look at the reporters who tried to show how heroic they were by being close to the battle fount. they wanted to be the news not report it. how bias can you get. bahhh. they follow public opinion and amplifiy it based on ratings. just look at what they were saying before the war. they were so anti war one would think pres bush was the antichrist. and how they change there opinion when we started to win the war. now they are so for the war that my teeth hurt. I hate how they were praising some of our artist for their anti-war statements before the war yet condemning them now for their opinions. wtf. I really hate how the news changes on public opinion. hey its ratings not the news. sorry I forgot.

being patriotic means loving the country even if you hate the current government. it means having an opinion of your own and not one that the masses tell you to have. it means doing something that is not forced on you by anyone to better your country. even if its to protest something you truly think is wrong. even if you do not have an opinion on the government, volunteer. think, do something dammit. don't let others do the thinking for you no matter how lazy you are or how caught up in your everyday life. THINK. BE PATRIOTIC. DO SOMETHING!!!!!!
