America - We're #1
I keep hearing people say, "We're number one." Exactly what are we number one in? Any idea? Let's see; we're number one in crime. We're number one in deaths by gun. we're number one in high school drop outs. We're number one in teen pregnancy. We're number one in broken homes and divorce. We're number one in people in prison. We're number one in obesity. We're quickly becoming number one in corrupt government. We're the number one most hated country in the world. We're number one in all the wrong things.
When we went to war in Iraq I saw a soldier on TV saying, "We're going to bring some western culture to the mideast. Why? Why would anyone want this kind of culture in their country? Why would anybody want to be like us?
All we have left is freedom of speech, freedom of expression and freedom to own a gun. I'd be willing to give it all up just to make the country safe.
In third world countries if you're caught stealing, they cut off your hand. That's why people don't steal in third world countries, at least not more than twice. If you're caught for rape, they cut off your penis. I'm all for that. That's the kind of punishment we need here. We treat prisoners better than we treat homeless people here. I know people who are not homeless who don't get treated as good as prisoners. They have the second best medical insurance in America next to politicians. I can't afford medical. We let people who have sodomised children out of prison to make room for more violent prisoners. Meanwhile, people who were caught smoking pot are getting life sentences. It just doesn't add up. I'm tired of being a civilized country. We certainly weren't civilized when we took the country from the Indians. Why be civilized now?
People aren't safe here anymore. People are getting killed while shopping at the mall. Our kids are getting killed on college campuses and high schools. Drive by shooting are everywhere. No one is safe. When does it stop? How do we stop it? Our government isn't doing anything to stop it. They're too concerned with gays getting married and which athletes took steroids.
It's obvious we need a revolution. We need to take our country back.
