I Love This Country

"One of the most startling revelations of moving back to the U.S. is the ubiquitous friendliness and I’m rolling around in it like a dog in fresh grass....none of which could really explain this truly awesome bit of reverse culture shock for me.

It’s not that Europeans are exactly un-friendly, especially Italians, who are in fact very polite and kind to strangers, and warm to friends and family, but I lived in Texas for 15 years before moving to Europe and being openly friendly to complete strangers was (is) deeply part of my personality,....

Obama is Kenyan, Communist, Muslim and generally full of hate.

He and his masters want nothing more than to see this country, where he got a free ride+ from, destroyed.

He WANTS the USA to be at the level of Kenya or worse. No food, no water, no electricity, no anything.

He is not American; he doesn’t know what an American is nor what it means to be an American.

He belongs in the desert, eating raw monkey meat and sh*tting in a hole in the sand.

The problem with remakes that I have seen, with none being listed on that external site, then changed the channel is that there is always the U.S. conspiracy and the negativity attached to the ‘evil’ Americans or the ‘evil’, greedy, imperialistic Americans.

And the fact that we haven’t stomped them into the dust is a testament to OUR compassion, tolerance, and patience as a people, as a nation.

I agree with your entire rant, but I would have tempered this statement a bit.

In fact, we should never have looked upon their Communist/Alinskyite agenda with compassion, tolerance, and patience.

We should have irradiated and slashed out this cancer aborning.

We have allowed the lying hysteria of maniacs to "fundamentally change" the Shining City on a Hill to a Socialist worker's paradise full of death and corruption.

We have come so far down that road that there is very little chance of correcting our error in our lifetimes.

Although, when we repent and turn our faces back to God, even though we may not live to see it, He will restore our country if He wills it.

True, dat.

Those are the people who don’t even know that it’s leaving.

A stat I saw on Drudge: 61% still believe in The American People.

“...we should never have looked upon their Communist/Alinskyite agenda with compassion, tolerance, and patience. ..”

I agree entirely.

However, these people played on our sense of “fairness” and “giving the other guy a shot at voicing his opinion”, etc., hiding under First Amendment protection.

They actually LISTENED to Alinsky, and stopped openly calling for the violent overthrow (which is a crime) and instead advocated infiltration of every facet of society - becoming the law, in effect, wherever they could, so that by the time Americans started waking up, we were already subverted.

They became judges, cops, lawyers, delegates, and elected officials.

And here we are.

“...61% still believe in The American People...”

And that’s 61% more than anything or anywhere else. And we can work with that and rebuild.

Takes time, determination, and dedication... and it’s worthwhile.

The other side has been diligently indoctrinating their little apparatchiks for years... we should show MORE diligence in TEACHING our children about the America that these empty scrotums want to steal from them.

I mean, after all... what else are you going to do with the rest of your life anyway, ya know??? :^)

Of course - the Americans (white men) are the real evil. They are the oppressor, the bigot, the taker.

Or, like in most TV shows and ads, they are the stupid clown, subservient to the assorted females, children, minorities and sexual deviants who are superior (and have the moral high ground) to him.

The (usually white) male is there to pay taxes (work), buy things and to be laughed at and ridiculed.

And here we are.

There were Russian ex-pats and deserters who tried to spread the word here, YouTube videos laying out exactly what you have just described.

Scared the bejesus out of me, but apparently they were too far into their infiltration of our hallowed institutions for any good to be done about the clarion call.

As I said, we bowed to the hysterics of maniacs. Political correctness, rampant racism, the poor, the children, all little straw men with rapacious leftism behind every crusade.

If I hear the words “fair share” one more time... Sigh... I’m not crazy enough to do something crazy.

Bravo NF, that is what I call telling it like it is!
Nothing to add, you said it all.

Screw the expats and their snarky nonsense, we have bigger idiots to concentrate on, they are worthless.

I know someone who went to Siberia and the Ukraine. Came back with stories of people not knowing about Tylenol and Band-aids.

Now, THAT’s scary.

No doubt all the remakes will star Channing Tatum. He’ll play “Carrie” as transgendered and will kill all the intolerant right-wing -phobic haters with his, er, her, telekinetic rage. Sounds like a wiener, er, winner to me.
