inalienable
RIGHTS.
We have rights! We're Mericans. We have the right to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We have the right to wage war on Tarror.
We will spread democracy if we have to kill every one of em. Then they'll be free! And the world will be safer. We'll have the right to drive a Ford Gargantuan or whatever. We'll take what we need and what makes us rich because it makes us happy. We have the right.
Why aren't we "Americans" spreading Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness? Where does it say in the Declaration of Independence that we have the right to arrogance? That we can force our views and beliefs on all those who differ or who have the oil?
Our forefathers decided to break from England because we had developed an identity of our own. Something that worked for us and it was different. We embraced the diversity of folks from all over the world with dreams and vision. We refused to tolerate the ideals of a Nation remote and removed from us telling us what to do, how to think and why. We were willing to die to the last to be free from this.
What is so different for Iraq? Look out Iran and Afghanistan. You're next.
On this day of independence and freedom I'm saying a prayer for those whom we are "Americanizing", for the blockheads who decided this is necessary and of course for all the people over there dieing in the senselessness of it all.
When ever I hear that song, "I'm proud to be an American..." initially I want to smash the radio...then I wonder would the artist still sing those words?
I wouldn't....would you?
