This article rules, babe (or doesn't, because you don't want to rule anyone :P)!
Yeah, it's hard for me to see people waving a flag around and ignorantly saying things like "this is greatest country on earth"?
Huh? Do you know what those words even mean? Do you know what a country even is? What the governments of most countries spend their time doing? What thousands of this country's own veterans have suffered because they found out what they were REALLY following orders for (pure evil)?
Yeah, I was once the average american clueless kid, but I grew the hell up. I think anyone who is using their brain should at least, by now, have some clue that 1. government isn't interested in our freedoms, and 2. The U.S. government is an out-of-control war machine built by psychopaths.
Patriotism isn't love for a country's government. It's love for the country. You can hate the government and love your country at the same time.
Agreed...
