Another Lesson in Differences

OK, the election is finally over, and the American sheeple at least showed a bit of common sense for a change. Although I still don't feel Obama is the best man for the job, he was certainly the best choice we were presented with. I happen to agree with the thought that the man who wants the job the least deserves it most. Hopefully Obama can live up to his obvious promise, but (almost) anyone would be an improvement over a semi-retarded evangelical cunt like Bush.
I just couldn't imagine the Antichrist as VP, either. Just the fact that she thinks we're in the end times and would do everything in her power to accelerate the coming Apocalypse is more than enough reason to vote against the Republicunts. I feel that people like Palin & Mike Huckabee should be excluded from holding any meaningful elected office just to enforce the separation of church & State anyway. I am so fucking sick of narrow-minded ignorant fuckstains making decisions that affect my life.

Anyway, that's not really the purpose of this post. I really want to educate & inform people of important differences between what they think about certain things. As a previous post dealt with the differences between Rights and Privileges, this post will deal with the difference between Nationalism and Patriotism.

Let's start with Nationalism. According to the Merriam-Webster online dictionary, nationalism is: loyalty and devotion to a nation ; especially : a sense of national consciousness exalting one nation above all others and placing primary emphasis on promotion of its culture and interests as opposed to those of other nations or supranational groups. That's definition #1, and will suffice for the purpose of this post.
That is what most people in Amerika consider patriotic: unwavering support for their country & its leaders, regardless of what those "leaders" think, do or say. A bunch of drunk fratboys bleating out chants of "U S A" & "We're Number One" while certainly embarrassing, is neither true or patriotic. Blind faith in anything just means you're willing to abdicate responsibility for your actions to someone you don't even know. That doesn't make you anything but a fucking sheep, which explains the repetitive bleating.

I can't put it more succinctly than that. Of course, the corporate media that spoon feeds most Amerikans their misinformed opinions on everything these days wouldn't dare make such a proclamation, the FCC would shut them down for disagreeing with the powers that be.
Rampant nationalism is also what allowed a fucking animal like Hitler to come to power in Germany, and he wasn't even fucking German! The same mob-mentality that brought us the Nuremburg rallies and the Holocaust has brought this once-great nation to a morally and intellectually bankrupt state. Not to mention having the Patriot Act crammed up our asses, the systematic elimination of our basic rights, and the institution in all but name of a Police State in what's supposed to be the most free country on the planet. Don't take my word for it, visit any of these links & see for yourself:

1:Looking Back in Disgust

2:Information Liberation

3:CQ.com

So the next time you're feeling Patriotic, try submitting a Freedom of Information Act request on what's really happening in Iraq or Afghanistan, waterboarding or other forms of torture carried out by the CIA & others, or any of the myriad Bill of Rights violations perpetrated by the worst presidency in history. Then let everyone know how that works out for you until the Goon Squad serves you with a no-knock warrant & "accidentally" kills you at 3 A.M.

Islam is a Religion of Peace, Just Like a Crackhead Would Be an Excellent Babysitter

I am so fucking sick of hearing every fascist, limp-dick, mysogonistic closet homosexual saying their religion preaches peace and tolerance just hours after someone blows up a restaurant, bus stop, abortion clinic or shopping center in the name of their imaginary friend, or his son, cousin, gardener, etc. Fuck them.
It should have been a dead giveaway almost 20 years ago when islamofascists decided Salmon Rushdie deserved to die for writing The Satanic Verses, which is the islamic equivalent to the Apocrypha in the judeo-xian religion. Basically it's a bunch of text that was edited out of their holy book by some ancient asshole who thought islam was too liberal and allowed too much free thought. Since nobody did anything about islam then, it has gotten totally out of hand now. Don't take my word for it, read about what Denmark is facing from islamic immigrants.
They laud the efforts of terrorists who indescriminately kill women and children, but go totally batshit crazy because someone draws a cartoon that basically calls them out on this issue. Or when a teacher asks her class to offer a name for a fucking stuffed animal and they come up with Mohammed. To call for this woman's death for giving a toy a name is so disproportional to the perceived offense defies any explanation.
Then there's Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a female author who lives under constant threat of death for making a stand that someone should have made almost a generation ago. She had the audacity to think that women should be treated like people! God fucking forbid. Next she'll want women to be able to dictate the course of their own lives! You can make donations to help pay for her rather expensive security measures, which she is currently under 24/7, by following this link.
Not to make light of their horrid treatment, but I think I would rather have been a Jew during the Holocaust than a woman in an islamic country today. I can't understand how people can use religion to justify such disgraceful treatment of another human being. I also can't understand how anyone anywhere can tolerate or excuse this kind of shit, especially in supposedly "enlightened" societies.
If I have offended anyone of the islamic faith, tough shit. If you don't want to be called assholes, then stop acting like assholes, assholes.
And all you right-wing Neo-Nazi xians out there, you're no fucking better, so wipe that sanctimonious smirk off your face before I pistol-whip you into adult diapers, you hypocritical cocksuckers.

Here it Comes

The Dystopian nightmare envisioned by George Orwell is right around the corner, except he didn't have right-wing Nazi, bible-thumping cunts running things. If you enjoy your freedom of speech, and I certainly do, you need to be aware of the rapidly approaching Theocratic Police-State hegemony (look it up) in this country. I, for one, can't stand being told how to live, let alone how to think & speak. These Bills are as close to thought-crime legislation as it gets without coming right out and calling them that. This article from the John Birch Society even called them that. No sense sugar-coating it.
I personally don't relish the idea that some gov't goon is allowed to come to my home, paw through my stuff, confiscating whatever they want, for no better reason than I said mean things about their boss. Personally, a Ruby Ridge-style standoff with the New SS, I mean BATF, does not appeal to me at all. I have a family to worry about. (You get a good zombie outbreak, I'm your guy all the way!)
Linda Milazzo has written a very good article in the Huffington Post about it, and I think you should take the time right now and read it. Do it goddammit! For a more detailed description of the Bills, the Center for Constitutional Rights has an excellent factsheet posted on their site. And don't just read the articles, write an email to your representatives as well, because they still work for you, for the time being anyway.
Here is the letter I wrote to my Senators:

Dear Senator ____________,

I am writing to voice my concern over Resolution 1959, the Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007. This is as frightening a piece of legislature as anything I've ever seen, including policy papers from Nazi Germany and the U.S.S.R. under Stalin. It sounds suspiciously similar to the sedition laws enacted by the British prior to the Revolutionary War.

This is a totally unwarranted attack on our Constitutional rights, specifically the First Amendment as I understand it. Correct me if I'm wrong, Sir, but isn't voicing a dissenting opinion the very definition of freedom of speech? I personally put a very high value on our freedoms, and those who protect them for us.

Please do everything in your power to persuade others that supporting this resolution is utterly wrong and counter to the Constitution they (and you, Sir,) swore to defend.

I have the utmost confidence in your ability to shone the light of rationality on this corrosive issue.

Thank you for your time,

And if that doesn't work:
