I love America. I can’t say it is better or worse than other countries, but I speak English and I can live with my neighbors. I don’t know most of them, but they educate their children with the help of public schools for the most part, and take care of their pets and mow their lawn. I assume they are decent folks, even if it is probable that they vote for Republicans.
I would like to see a greener lifestyle. I sure like some air conditioning in the Summer here in Texas. I can take lower indoor temperatures in the Winter. I drive a little diesel car. I use transistors even though I prefer the sound of tubes.
What I can’t imagine is life for everyone in my neighborhood being turned over. Machine guns, explosions, death squads going from house to house with lists of people to murder. Everyone constantly afraid. Soldiers bursting in screaming orders and destroying my house and terrifying my family. I would sure hate that if it happened to me.
This is the life that America has provided for the citizens of Iraq. Saddam was no saint, but he ruled a secular state, and people who didn’t threaten his rule didn’t have anything to worry about. Women went to college in Iraq, and some became medical doctors or served in government. Now they can be murdered on the street for not wearing the appropriate religious garb. Thanks George.
This can happen here. Believe that these nutballs are working to reclaim America for its Christian birthright. Whatever that means. I would tell them to stick their fucking Bible up their ass, but that is just me, and I probably wouldn’t be that impolite in person.
