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:

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.

Things Every American Needs to Know

So you think you're a Good American. If you're anything like the majority of people that I deal with every day, I have some bad news, Skippy.

First off, let's talk about a few differences that most Americans are unaware of:

There is a huge difference between Rights and Privileges. You have the right to vote, own a gun, speak out against your elected officials, worship whatever imaginary being you choose and say anything to anyone. That's right, you have the right to call a black man a "nigger." But you do not have the right to complain when that same black man justifiably beats the ever-loving shit out of you because you fucking deserve it, you racist piece of shit.

You have the right to spend your money as you see fit, even if you want to buy an over priced, self-indulgent and totally unnecessary SUV. But if you go ahead and buy your ego stroking behemoth that gets horrible fuel economy, you forfeit your right to bitch about the price of gas, you selfish cocksucker.

You have the right to vote, even though you are most likely ignorant and ill-informed, having your opinions spoon-fed to you via any of the mainstream media, who coincidentally enough, are owned by the same big businesses as most of Congress & the Senate. Stop watching CNN, MSNBC and Fox "News" and learn something about the candidates, because I'm really fucking tired of your shitty choices affecting my goddamn life, you fucking sheep.

You do not, however, have the right to drive like a total asshole, on any road you like. Driving is a privilege granted to you by the state you live in, which is why you need to get a new one when you move to a different state. Even though a half retarded chimp can get a driver's license in most states, you're supposed to display a modicum (look it up, dicktard, I don't have a remedial blog) of skill to demonstrate you deserve that privilege. The state also has the right to revoke your license if you do something extraordinarily stupid, though they don't do this often enough in my less-than-humble opinion.

So explain to me why my driver's license is valid anywhere in the U.S. but my concealed carry permit isn't. And you unskilled fuckers are lucky it's not as hard to get a DL as it is to get a CCW, and I think it should be harder, if anything. After all, I had to prove to a certified instructor that I possess a higher-than-average degree of skill with a handgun in order to be allowed to exercise my right to carry one. 'Splain that one to me, Lucy.

You do not have the right to a ridiculous amount of credit, no matter how well you think you manage your finances. As a matter of fact, you don't have the right to credit at all if a bank or credit union thinks you're a shitty risk. They actually have the right, as businesses, to dictate the terms of any credit they extend to you. Want a higher limit on your card? Prove you deserve it. Can't do that? Tough shit, just sit there & suck on it, Deadbeat. Try negotiating the price of groceries the next time you go shopping, see where that gets you. You also don't have the right to max out your credit cards, get a second or third mortgage, tons of personal loans and a brand-new car(none of which you can really afford) and then fuck over your creditors by declaring bankruptcy. You're nothing more than a scammer and a thief at that point, asshole.
