Oh such a shame it is to see so many of The United States youth shunning and booing its country. For shame. To Smurf: Of course none of us ever fought in the great war for independence. Or even the second. We didnt help England and France Triumph in World War 2. None of us have ever fought even our own countrymen, and shed their blood for our beliefs. But you know what? We havent had the chance. We have not had to work hard to maintain our freedom, and THAT is one the MANY things that we celebrate on the 4th of July. You even claim that you take all of these rights that have been HANDED to you, that you have had to do NOTHING to achieve, for granted. You then continue to say that everybody EVERYBODY else does this. This is another one of the many things that we celebrate on the 4th of July. We are thanking those that have fought for us, and died to make this country what it is today. It is true that people only act on their freedom one day a year. Would you like us to set off fireworks, and have fun, and be joyous, and get exhausted once a week? Or perhaps every day? Currently, right now, we have over 1500 troops in the middle-east fighting for us. Fighting to make America a better, safer place, and you slash their efforts with your slandering and insults of how patriotism is corrupt. [Quote]
Lost, alone, cold. But at the same time I dont see. I see green fields and wildflowers. That was twenty years ago. I see a barren wasteland now, all that is left of my earth and my mind. I think, but everything is distorted. I am mesmerized by mindless propaganda, my thoughts are not my own. I am mechanical. I speak what I am told. I walk in the direction of the masses. They tell me to keep walking, dont look back. Ten thousand banners wave in my face. They mean nothing to those who wave them. They see red, they think freedom. I see red, I think blood. They see blue, they see the success of their beloved nation. I see blue, I think of drowned individualism. Programming. They see white, they see a new start for all. I see white, I see a mind wiped clean. Programmed to the standards of the masses. I see violence. Trying to
do right. But even thoughts of right are always wrong. I see the fighting
men as they die for something they dont understand. I dont
understand. They tell me that they are right, and I believe. My thoughts
are not my own. Images flash before me. Flowers, fields, smiles, rain. Hate, Death, Violence, Shame. But it means nothing to me. I am programmed. Irreversible. I am a child of industrialism, capitalism, patriotism, propaganda. Made in the USA. I am a product of America. [/Quote] I have but one thing to say to this: You are what you choose to be. Nobody can tell you who you are, what you can be, or who you will be. This is up to you and you alone. The 4th of July is not only to drink, party, and play with fireworks. The 4th of July is to Thank the soldiers who have
shed blood for us and our rights. If you lack the heart to love your own country, then visit Washington D.C., and I guarantee inspiration. But until then, consider yourself no friend of mine, for I love my country. |
