OpEdNews - Page 2 of Article: Proud to be American

The thing here is that even though things are produced for pennies on the dollar they still sell for the same price as if they were still being made here with Americans doing the work. I will give credit where it is due. I have used and drove and rode Japanes cars and bikes and used Japanese tools that far exceed American in quality. At one time this was not true, back in the time when Japan was making cigarette lighters from our beer cans.

Then along came 9-11, just when the President had polls showing that his standing with the American People was going into the tank. What a political Heyday it was. All the politicians running their mouths looking for photo ops.

We have another airplane supposedly go down in a field commandeered by terrorists but the debris is scattered for miles.

Another one slams into the Pentagon, this is a Mystery Plane, small hole, big plane with no photos of it though there were cameras aimed along where it hit. Then there was the story of all the money that disappeared from the Pentagon. Seems the area that was supposedly hit is where this money was.

Then we are back to The Towers and how they magically imploded and then the same thing happened to another building that had not been hit. This was a disaster like we had never seen or experienced. Still I have heard that the Towers was more of a White elephant and they were having problems renting out space in them.

One thing I would like to know, of all the people that lost their lives that day, I would like to know how many of the upper echelon never showed up for work that day.

Now we have Homeland Insecurity, The Patriot Act. Illegal wire tapping. An illegal war against Saddam in Iraq. Thousands of people being killed including Americans. All On Lies. We are also in Afghanistan, supposedly to capture Ben Laden who was supposedly the Brain behind 9-11. But he conveniently was allowed to escape time and time again.

Since that day we have seen even more of the Constitution, According to Bush "That goddamned piece of paper ". Pretty good coming from a Goddamned Deserter. Go down the drain.

More and more we have seen Corporate America come to light.

What we once took as news on radio and TV we find that there is NO NEWS, we are getting a steady diet of Propaganda all the Bush/Rove View. You hear more and more right wing hardliners like Limbaugh, O 'Reilly, Hannity, Coulter, Fox News, Novak and on and on, Even to televangalists like Robertson and his ilk.

The sorriest thing I have heard is time after time when I hear that the men in Iraq are fighting to protect and save us. What a dose of Bull, they are doing the job for Corporate Oil and now finding out they are stuck in a Viet Nam type thing. Fighting something they cannot win. In fact they are in a country now fighting those that did not have a chance of even being there when
Saddam was in charge.

We have seen the Cluster F--- that they called Katrina. A Natural Disaster, one screw up after the other as people perished. American People that America could not Protect through Incompetence. Then we saw Bush show up for his usual Photo-Op and Praise one of the incompetents. Who happens to still be hanging around along with Chertoff of Homeland Insecurity.

What would it have been if it had been an enemy attack?

We have a couple more Elections come and go, both of them a repeat of 2000, this time with the aid of voting machines that can and were tampered with. Lost votes, disenfranchised voters. More dirty tricks and slight of hand. We end up with Bush for another four years. He helped give half the country away the first half so now he has time to get rid of the other half. All the time expecting the American to Suck It Up and do more, while they rich sit back and grin as they get richer.

I made mention earlier of the people that came to this country looking for a better way of life, those that worked and waited for years to become citizens. Now we see Mexican Illegals crossing the border illegally and marching in our streets demanding that they be given Rights, we have had to support them for years one way or another.

In this day and time if an American went to the streets like the Mexicans chances are you would see a lot of broken heads and people going to jail. We see the programs that benefited the American People stripped and done away with or cut so drastically that they are not recognizable and here we have Mexicans making demands that the American don 't even have.
