"The biggest cause of trouble in the world today is that stupid people are so sure about things, and intelligent folks are so full of doubts."
The dark underbelly of America contains numerous warts, boils, and cancerous tumors, inflicted by that loathsome grimoire of madness that the elected leaders of our nation have become.
Well, I'm FedUp and I'm not taking it any more!

Proud To Be An American

Liberals got women the right to vote.
Liberals got African-Americans the right to vote.
Liberals created Social Security and lifted millions of elderly people out of poverty.
Liberals ended segregation.
Liberals passed the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act.
Liberals created Medicare.
Liberals passed the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act.
What did the ignorant conservatives do?
They opposed them on every one of those things.
Every damn one!
So when you try to hurl that label at my feet, 'Liberal,' as if it were something to be ashamed of, something dirty, something to run away from, it won't work because I will pick up that label and I will wear it as a badge of honor.

My work presents the "dummied down" every day. I'm appalled at the lack of comprehension most Americans possess.
I thought maybe I was just getting smarter as I age however I look into my past and never was I "dumb". Nor were my peers. We were outspoken and analytical in our daily lives.
Today instant gratification reigns rampant. This is partially because of the internet. People have to do less to get information and merchandise.
What shocks me is that most people do not read the information available on the internet. When browsing a website a glance at the homepage is as far as one goes.
Entering credit card information is done thoughtlessly. Easy come, easy go is the attitude of credit.
Why is this the way? Consumerism. This is why we accept disposable junk from China. Consumerism.
Our newest generations have been bred to believe that he who has the most junk wins.
Remember after 9-11? Bush said go shopping. What did shopping accomplish? Corporate profit, record breaking credit card debt.
Now we look at our economy and feel the damage. Has the "dummied down" stopped to think about this?
Have any of the parents you know said "no" to their kid when they ask for the latest piece of junk? Absolutely not. "No" is no longer a part of a parents vocabulary.
So you see not only have the new generations been bred to consume, parents have been conditioned to go into debt for this excessive consumption.
Do you see any of this changing in the near future? Will Americans stop thinking that a University degree is all that is needed to become "smart".
I don't see any signs of hope. Maybe it's just me, I talk to people all over the world. Maybe I get a better view of people than most. I know this is harsh, but even conversations where there is a language barrier, I find it easier to have a meeting of the minds with the disadvantaged than with some Americans I talk to.
Come on Americans, its time to wise up. Think outside of the box. Actually put some thought into the things you do.
Americans first, America first
