America is an angry country. It always has been. Those who came before us cleared out the locals by any means necessary, then sanitized the genocidal slaughter as they self-immortalized their deeds into the stuff of legend.
After the sun dried the corpses, we set upon each other. Our history is splattered in blood and steeped in unrestrained hostility toward all living creatures.
People in countries all over the world trip out on America. Not only do we make films the rest of the planet flocks to see — we are living in them as well. America is so larger-than-life, our reality kills millions of us each year.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m not complaining; I’m just saying that part of what the rest of the world considers to be exceptional about America is our ability to bring the pain over great distances at a high rate of speed, and our seemingly insatiable lust to do it again and again.
America has defined the size of the world. For now at least, things are as we make them.
Americans are hard on every possible thing in America, from our natural environment to city infrastructures. Our greatest contempt and top-shelf brutality, however, we reserve to unleash upon ourselves and one another.
Even after all the science, advances in medicine and technological breakthroughs, which have brought about possibilities that were once almost impossible to imagine, many of us long for the pungent ooze of a stagnant past. Ideas of equality and common decency often are seen as being weak or an abomination. Why? I don’t know. It’s one of those things that makes us exceptional.
When you think about it, some of the greatest examples of American music are, in many ways, blood diamonds. You think blues, gospel and soul came from everyone getting along and living comfortably? Billie Holiday’s tone came from all the hugs and free breakfasts? Jazz, America’s greatest single cultural export, came to be because Jelly Roll Morton didn’t spend most of his life being made to feel like a second-class citizen? To listen to this music, conscientious people might have to accommodate what they are unable to overlook and accept that which they cannot change.
Being an American is to understand where you come from and choosing whether you want to repeat the past or invent the future. A huge number of us have chosen the former. The proof is everywhere.
There are not just a few people opposed to same-sex marriage in America. There are millions and millions.
During the president’s recent visit to Oklahoma, protestors stood across the street from the hotel where he was staying, waving their Stars and Bars flags. Not racist; it’s a heritage thing.
Countless Americans see the recent efforts to neutralize Iran’s nuclear ambitions as mere Neville Chamberlain–esque, Kenyan trickster commie-islamofacism — the workings of an arrogant, Israel-hating tyrant who despises America and wants to open the borders for all his buds in ISIS to stream in by the busload. In fact, they’re probably already here, draining your wallet to buy lobsters, steak and extra Qurans with SNAP coupons, thus robbing your children of their subliterate future.
This is who we are. The world outside of America gets it. Some of them think we’re cool, others think we’re violent morons, but they all know we are not to be ***ed with. We are armed, we are dangerous, and we will come over there.
Every country needs a leader. A leader who not only personifies the spirit of that country but one who epitomizes it. It can’t be Obama, right? Biggest American blunder of the 21st century! All that peacemongering and compromise. America does not negotiate with terrorists — and almost every country in the world is run by terrorists! (Not Canada, although we could beat their asses and take their $#*+ by next weekend. We’d be treated as liberators!)
So who’s it gonna be for 2016? Hillary the crim (probably a lesbian) and her lying, adulterer husband? She personifies the greatest nation on Earth? She is a billboard for our values and dreams? No way! If elected, she’ll build a mosque on the front lawn of the White House on day one and start on the concentration camps the next! No! Not Hillary!
In a nation of hundreds of millions of people, there is one man born to lead. A man who stands head and shoulders above the rest. A lone alpha who burns incandescent in a vast wasteland of darkness.
When asked to serve in Vietnam, he said no and took a deferment. He took a few of them, actually, because he is his own man.
He got married. The merger didn’t work. She was fired. So was the next one. It’s business, not personal — like America!
He has overcome adversity. Like bankruptcy. And with an almost Michelangelo-like genius, he conquered the K2 challenge of his hair.
He is what America needs. A man with so much self-confidence that, if you put him in the Oval Office, some of it will no doubt trickle down to you.
Who is this man who will put all other world leaders in their place? The same man who just read a cellphone number, allegedly Lindsey Graham’s private line, out loud so the world could hear. (Hey, I laughed.) This man is America.
So bend over, relax and hold onto something solid, because here he comes — here comes Donald Trump 2016. And when he puts it in, you’ll know who your daddy is.
It’s from LA…..
Who cares?
Just wow.
Henry......lay off the weed The Booze The Red Bull..The Coke...and whatever else is rotting your mind
The boy doesn’t look like he’s right in the head. He has that Norman Bates look. I hope he can’t buy a gun.
The best thing Rollins ever did was get his head smashed through a sliding glass door in “Heat”.
And Black Flag sucks.
This jerk is saying “How dare you object to the ruin of your country. Bend over and enjoy it-without any lubrication”.
This was inspiring.
This man needs JESUS.
I liked Henry way back when, personally, but he was Black Flag’s worst singer.
He has become a caricature blowhard, not really ever making sense.
The only Americans bending over have been the working people. They’re paying for people to set on their ass and collect taxpayer’s money. They’re paying for illegals and refugees here for the freebies off the sweat of taxpayer’s brow. The working class taxpayers are paying for Obama and the GOPe to hand down trade policies that send American jobs overseas.
I believe the ones that will be bending over will be those that have been sticking to the working men and women of this nation. It’s past time they get their just reward.
It’s past time that someone speak up for the working class families of this nation. Trump has been doing a good job of that so far.

Yes, that pretty much nails it!
I think it’s Little Miss Morford.
satss he a member of some “group” named BLACK FLAG?/ ISIS inspired PERHAPS???
in a wierd sort of way he makes a lot of sense....
Comments?
I am almost always grateful that liberals are so shallow, transparent and predictable.
I can usually figure out in the first sentence, sometimes the first three words exactly what a liberal is going to say. Exactly. This guy took five words. But you could ask me his view on ANYTHING, and I could nail it, hands down.
It isn’t even difficult.
I manage to generate some level of gratitude towards brain-dead liberals like this one, because they have saved me so much time due to their predictable stupidity, I am sure it has added years to my life.
Guys like him are the best, because he is so straightforward. It is the obtuse ones who try to get scholarly that really irritate me. They try so hard to sound impartial (sound impartial, not BE impartial, an important distinction) that they muddy up what they are trying to say, and you end up reading a whole paragraph, sometimes even more, which completely sucks.
It is time you can never get back.
In the case of this turd, I only felt gratitude.
That is how I feel about this.
, but they all know we are not to be ***ed with. We are armed, we are dangerous, and we will come over there.
He says that like it’s a bad thing................
Henry definitely has a unique way of phrasing things.
I read his comments because they always make me laugh.
Whether I agree with them or not.
D-R-U-G-S. Can’t imagine it’s anything else.
Personal attacks from the left.
Not surprised.
Not shocked.
10 things , strike that, 1 thing I need to know about this election. I don’t need advice from the pseudo intellectual punk alt world playing the outcast while banking millions Mr. Rollins.
He can voice his opinion in shocking terms, all while criticizing someone else for ... voicing their opinions in shocking terms. Imagine if someone told the dear Mr. Rollins he needed to apologize for an honest opinion. Further imagine if they told him it’s not so much the opinion but his tone that was a problem.
Ridiculous.
It’s now cool on the left to hate Trump. Fine. It’s also cool to hate Cruz. And lest you forget, allow me to read mind you how they treated the media darling known as Sen McCain once he was actually the nominee. War hero? Didn’t matter a lick 8 years ago. Same for Gov. Romney. Nicest guy on the planet? Doesn’t matter - he once fired bad employees and scared a dog.
** Note to all of the GOP candidates. The left hates you all. Every last one of you. They just pretend to like some of you in off years so they can get good copy. This time next year WHOEVER is the GOP nominee will be treated with contempt, derision, and in many cases outright hatred. Count on it. It’s as predictable and regular as the sun rising in the east. This cycle just tends to last about 1400 days instead 1.
