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.

So Much For Leaving The Dark Ages

I find this news article to be alarming, to say the least, yet I can see this happening in the U.S. if White Trash America elects another religious/fascist asshole to the White House. I'm talking to all you ignorant fuckwits who support people like Mike Huckabee and Mitt Romney this past year. As a matter of fact, if McCain picks either one of those cocksuckers as his running mate, I don't care if the Democrats nominate a turnip, I'll be voting for that turnip.

First of all, just the simple fact that Suckabee stated aloud that he thinks the U.S. Constitution should be amended to align more closely with his favorite version of a fairy tale that just won't go away should have meant instant dismissal from any public office. And Romney isn't any better, because the only thing worse than a religious asshole is a religious asshole with a shitload of money, just like Osama bin Laden.

Don't believe Amerika is headed for this type of oppression? Here are just a few examples of the current Emperor's New Clothes regime blatantly fucking over this country:

Passing fascist-state legislation that would make George Orwell sue them for plagiarism.

Slight-of-hand character assassination to distract people from real and far more important issues.

Just plain petty abuses of power.

The current presidential candidates are just going to be more of the same. In fact, we should be calling it an "Erection Year" because no matter who wins, we're going to get fucked.

To be honest, none of the candidates still in the election at this point are fit to lick Ron Paul's ass. The deplorable treatment Ron Paul received from the media in this country is just one of many reasons I don't watch TV news or read newspapers and I get my news from the links on this page, which is why I put them there in the first place.

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.

I Can't Believe This

I don't understand how someone so FUCKING STUPID could make it to adulthood, let alone live outside an institution without a fucking helmet! I found this article yesterday and had to write about it. I know human stupidity knows no bounds, but god damn! This just really solidifies my "view" of television programming as a whole. I really hope this is just some ratings ploy, because otherwise it's just sad.

Ignorance is not Bliss, it's just a vacuum in your head

I found this while stumbling and it's a real eye-opener...

50 things you aren't supposed to know

WTF!?

If my kid came home with this note I think I would have stopped whatever I was doing and find this asshole and beat him into adult diapers. It's probably a good thing I don't have kids. This kind of attitude is just totally reprehensible in anyone, let alone a fucking teacher. Alex's parents need to do everything they can to get this guy fired. Go Alex!

Imagine Where We'd Be...

without the Dark Ages? They weren't called the Dark Ages because the sun never came out, it was because religion controlled 99% of the distribution of knowledge. And these same types of illiterate fuckstains want to go back to these so-called good-old-days of intellectual persecution here in America!

Abortion, Gay Rights, Atheism, these are just a few of the moral issues that have been politicized so some lazy cunt can keep their cushy government job by appealing to barely literate glassy-eyed religious zealots. The government has no right to tell anyone how to live their lives. Religious organizations can stay the fuck out of politics until they start paying taxes.

Brilliant!

Math teacher attaches McDonald's applications to failed tests!

That's BRILLIANT! We need more teachers like this!

The Orwellian/Bush Version of Patriotism

I found this HERE. And guess how I feel about this shit. Fuck those oil whores, dissent against tyrrany is the definition of patriotism!

Ignorance

Today's word is ignorance. Being ignorant is not, as most people believe, the same as being stupid. Ignorance is just a lack of knowledge, whereas if you don't know what stupid is, I can't help you. I'm not talking about stupid yet. Most people who know me think I'm pretty smart, but there are a lot of things I am ignorant about.
If there were ever a social ill with an easy fix it's ignorance. If you've ever seen an apostrophe used to indicate a plural, someone using a word in the wrong context (to many instead of too many,) that's ignorance. For the record, simple spelling and grammar mistakes will make me abandon a website when I shop on the web. If they are that careless about the presentation of their website, I just assume their customer service skills are just as bad. Am I wrong to make assumptions about people I don't know? Probably, but if they slept through that many English classes, I certainly don't feel they deserve my business.
What's the easy fix? Read. That's right, read something every day no matter what it is. One of my best friends was on his honeymoon years ago and they stopped to eat. His wife was reading a book when the waitress came over to take their order and asked, "Whatcha readin for?" Get used to being poor, Honey.
How many times have you heard "Knowledge is power?" Knowledge does not fall from the sky and take up space in your brain. Knowledge must be acquired. Pay attention to the world around you. There are so many interesting things out there. Learn something every day, it doesn't even have to be useful knowledge. If there's nothing that interests you, I don't know what to tell you except you may as well cash in your cosmic chips, because you're just taking up space.
