BAD AMERICAN

A few might view some of us to be "Bad Americans", but the truth be known, more than a few would proudly place themselves in this catagory. While someone else kindly contributed this article, it is very close to Van's opinion. See how close this article parallels your own feelings.
I May Be A Bad American
I like big
cars, big boats, big houses, and naturally, pretty women. I
believe the money I make belongs to me and my family, not some
mid-level governmental functionary with a bad comb-over who
wants to give it away to crack addicts squirting out babies. I
don't care about appearing compassionate.
I think
playing with toy guns doesn't make you a killer - I believe
ignoring your kids and giving them Prozac might. I think I'm
doing better than the homeless. I don't think being a minority
makes you noble or victimized. I have the right not to be
tolerant of others because they are different, weird or piss
me off. This is my life to live, and not necessarily up to
others expectations. I know what SEX is and there are not
varying degrees of it. I don't celebrate Kwanzaa. But if you
want to that's fine; just don't feel like everyone else should
have to.
I believe that if you are selling me a Dairy
queen shake, a pack of cigarettes, or hotel room you do it in
English. As of matter of fact, if you are an American citizen
you should speak English. My uncles and forefathers shouldn't
have had to die in vain so you can leave the countries you
were born in to come disrespect ours, and make us bend to your
will. Get over it. I think the cops have every right to shoot
your sorry ass if you're running from them after they tell you
to stop. If you can't understand the word freeze or stop in
English, see the previous line.
I don't use the excuse
"it's for the children" as a shield for unpopular opinions or
actions. I know how to count votes and I feel much safer
letting a machine with no political affiliation recount when
needed. I know what the definition of lying is, and it isn't
based on the word "is" - ever.
I don't think just
because you were not born in this country, you qualify for any
special loan programs, gov't sponsored bank loans, etc., so
you can open a hotel, 7-Eleven, trinket shop, or any damn
thing else, while the indigenous peoples can't get past a high
school education if they can't afford it.
I didn't
take the initiative in inventing the Internet. I thought the
Taco Bell dog was funny. I want them to bring back safe and
sane fireworks. I believe no one ever died because of
something Ozzy Osbourne, Ice-T or Marilyn Manson sang, but
that doesn't mean I want to listen to that crap from someone
else's car when I'm stopped at a red light. But I respect your
right to. I think that being a student doesn't give you any
more enlightenment than working at Blockbuster or Jack In The
Box. I don't want to eat or drink anything with the words
light, lite or fat-free on the package. Our soldiers did not
go to some foreign country and risk their lives in vain and
defend our Constitution so that decades later you can tell me
it's a living document ever changing and is open to
interpretation. The guys who wrote it were light years ahead
of anyone today, and they meant what they said - now leave the
document the hell alone, or there's going to be trouble.
I don't hate the rich. I help the poor. I know
wrestling is fake. I've never owned or was a slave, and a
large percentage or our forefathers weren't wealthy enough to
own one either. Please stop blaming me because some prior
white people were idiots - and remember, tons of white,
Indian, Chinese, and other races have been enslaved too - it
was wrong for every one of them.
I believe a
self-righteous liberal with a cause is more dangerous than a
Hell's Angel with an attitude. I want to know which church is
it exactly where the "Reverend" Jessie Jackson preaches; and,
what exactly is his job function. I own a gun, you can own a
gun, and any red blooded American should be allowed to own a
gun, but if you use it in a crime then you will serve the
time.
I think Bill Gates has every right to keep every
penny he made and continue to make more. If it pisses you off,
invent the next operating system that's better and put your
name on the building. Ask your buddy that invented the
Internet to help you. I don't believe in hate crime
legislation. Even suggesting it pisses me off. You're telling
me that someone who is a minority, gay, disabled, another
nationality, or otherwise different from the mainstream of
this country has more value as a human being that I do as a
white male. Hell, if someone kills anyone, I'd say that it's a
hate crime. We don't need more laws! Let's enforce the ones we
already have.
I think turkey bacon, turkey beef,
turkey fake anything sucks. I believe that it doesn't take a
village to raise a child - it takes a parent with the balls to
stand up to the kid and spank his butt and say "NO!" when it's
necessary to do so . I'll admit that the only movie that ever
made me cry was Ole Yeller. I didn't realize Dr. Seuss was a
genius until I had a kid. I will not be frowned upon or be
looked down upon or be made to keep silent because I have
these beliefs and opinions. I thought this country allowed me
that right. I will not conform or compromise just to keep from
hurting somebody's feelings.
I'm neither angry nor
disenfranchised, no matter how desperately the mainstream
media would like the world to believe otherwise. Yes, I guess
by some peoples' definition, I may be a bad American. But
that's tough!
