Proud to be un-American
Editor:
Congratulations, America.
Congratulations on voting for the first amendment to actively discriminate against U.S. citizens. Congratulations on exploiting the two party system to pervert the system of checks and balances that is a key pillar of our government.
Say goodbye to the strength of the American dollar. I hope you weren’t looking forward to retiring any time soon. I hope you didn’t want to keep most of that paycheck.
I hope you weren’t enjoying your privacy and freedom of speech. I hope you don’t mind more teen mothers and an increased death rate from botched “back-yard” abortions.
It’s all ok, though, right?
Of course, because you have successfully forced your moral views on everyone else. At least everyone in America is going to your Heaven, and is still free to love whoever you approve of. We don’t need the support of the rest of the world, because we have your God on our side. Too bad if an American citizen doesn’t believe in Him, looks like they will be following His rules anyways. Since when was your God a key concern of my government? Somehow I had missed the fact that I
was living in a theocracy. I was under the impression that I lived in a land free of oppression and bias, regardless of race, gender, religion or sexual preference. I thought this “great nation” was a “land of the free” and “home of the brave.” Now I see that it is truly a land of oppression, hate and bigotry with a population consisting (as proven by
popular vote) mostly of the blind and the cowardly.
Am I being un-American? Am I betraying this country which I used to be proud to call home?
Yes, I am, and I don’t try to hide it. I am proud to be un-American, because America has betrayed its own roots. The only ringing I hear from freedom is that of its death bell sounding in the United States of America.
