I like that they show how some American's have some intelligence. Though if you notice (most) were younger, sadly they pick on the older people who function off Religion still.

I just got home from Boston, well Connecticut I suppose is where I spent most of my time. Everyone I spoke to was very helpful and considerate. (fake or not) The friends I was spending time with are awesome and all follow my view points. (which are fucking brilliant, no matter how bad I spell <.<) Anyhow I don't hate American's, I hate over Patriotic self obsessed cock suckers who are afraid to admit or at least argue in a form of common sense that their government and it's ideals are bullshit.

A true patriot is someone who believes in the country and not in the government. We all live in our homes, set on specific countries, and many of us have never emigrated elsewhere ourselves, so it's only natural that we want to protect our land, protect those that we care about, and attack those who would harm us, be it in defence or offence.

Patriotism is NOT worshipping the government or its past figures. These are all people places on a spotlight, and the only thing separating these leaders are two things;

One: How tentatively they step in regards to issues of international importance. Basically, whether they bother to even listen to any outcries and acknowledge them when they make a decision, and that leads us on to;

Two: How these leaders listen to their people when they are thinking about a decision. Gone are the days, it would seem, where leaders are either respectful or fearful of the people they 'rule' that they would actually allow said people to pass a vote on each and every step of its governing.

Seriously, these people are voted into power by our own hands, minds and hearts, and yet so many seem quite happy to blindly lie to us for every fucking step of their shitty terms! I understand that not everyone knows what's best for their country, as many don't even bother looking outside their borders or beliefs, but at the very least there should be a vote for anything vitally important to how we live our lives. I'm English, and I'm sure the American's here have had something similar, but our last PM saw fit to just do what he wanted and tried desperately to prevent us a say on many matters.

I care about the people in my country, but only those who work, do as they need, pay their own way, pay their taxes that actually go towards providing the services that make our lives easier, don't attack others for no other reason than to seem 'hard' or 'tough', who know the value of respect and how to both earn and give this respect.

Send those ignorant fucks to slave encampments and fuck them in the ass for eternity.

That'll give them some essential human intellectual quality.

The way I see it. A lot of what our elected officials tell us may be lies. Those elected officials led us to believe all the shit about Saddam and hid WMD's. Sadly it turned out that this information was poorly researched and possibly fabricated. Those elected officials led us to believe that we were in Iraq to help liberate them from Saddam's regime. Sadly that information was false too since we're still in Iraq fuckin around. Those same elected officials would have you believe that they make all of their decision's with our best interests in mind. I think it's a bunch of crap.

The patriots are the lambs led to slaughter by those in power.

Last part made me all warm and fuzzy :D
Its not about worshiping ex-presidents and such but their actions that contributed to the founding of this great country.
