    Why I Hate the American People: REASON #1

    I’d like to think of myself as a person who doesn’t judge. I hope that when I’m around someone, they know that I’m not judging them. That’s not my job. My job is to be as kind as I can possibly be to that person.


    However, it doesn’t mean that I DON’T judge. I’m human, damn it! I judge people from the moment I look them in the eye. And then I remember, “Wait a damn second! What the hell? I’m not any better than this person!! Step away from the horse!”


    And then I go on my merry way.


    But I find that sometimes, there are people who refused to move out of the way. They keep bitch-slapping you with their stupidity, and then you're stuck with a headache. And I hate headaches.


    I have a headache right now. Why? Because of the stupid opinions that some people have taken up. Funny thing is, all these people seem to live in the United States of frikkin’ America. These opinions have to deal with the speech that President Obama will be giving to Wakefield High School in Arlington, VA tomorrow [ his speech can be read at http://www.whitehouse.gov/MediaResources/PreparedSchoolRemarks/ ]. Now I have personally gone and checked this speech, just to make sure that he wasn’t trying to brainwash these kids into thinking he was Christ reincarnated... thus making him evil… thus worthy of being shot in the face before Jesus sends us ALL to hell.


    AND HE WASN’T DOING ANYTHING BUT TELLING THESE CHILDREN TO WORK HARD IN SCHOOL FOR THE FUTURE OF THEMSELVES AND THEIR COUNTRY.


    He was letting them know that in order to get out of the cycle of blameblameblame, we gotta start standing straight on our own two feet and work hard. Because if we work hard, then we can solve the problems in the world. Like cancer. And AIDS. And poverty. And stupid opinion-ism.


    If you read it, it doesn’t look political. It looks as though this man genuinely cares about the children of this nation. He has two kids of his own, so you KNOW this man cares. He continuously tells these children to stay in school and work. He continuously tells these children that it's hard work, but to never give up.


    And then you have people who are now going around stirring up trouble, saying that this man is trying “to foist a political agenda on children” [http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5ib8qja0qqnnbZFsHF7kP6GV9XVfQD9AG43GO0]. GOP chairman Jim Greer believes the President’s ideology is that of a socialist. Oklahoma state Sen. Steve Russell even compares this "situation" to N. Korea and Saddam’s Iraq.


    And this is when my judgmental attitude comes in. Seriously? Telling children to work hard in school makes President Obama like Saddam Hussein?! You ignorant-ass, stupid mother-fuckers! Are you KIDDING ME?! Why does EVERYTHING in America have to be political? That’s like me going around and saying that every person who utters the word hi to me is a racist.


    This really needs to stop. This freedom of speech has gone too far. I don’t think that the America today is the America the Founding Fathers had when they wrote the Constitution. I’m pretty sure if they saw the America of today, they would have written into the Constitution that every person who takes things too far has a right to be shot in the face.Then resurrected so they could be shot in the face AGAIN.


    Please, go and read President Obama’s speech, and give me your honest opinion. Do you think that he was trying to prove a political point, or was he, as I think, just trying to get these kids to stay in school for the sake of themselves?


    [I know that not all Americans are idiots, and so when I talk about Americans being stupid, I'm generalizing]
