"Determine why your weaknesses have led you to most closely relate to organizations like Amnesty International, a worthless institution at best, instead of recognizing the real source of problems throughout the world today - Muslim Fundamentalism and Islamic Terrorism."

In the paradigm of the Ugly American, standing with an organization which struggles for the "worthless cause" of universal human rights is a weakness. Only the rights and welfare of a particular segment of American society count in the perverse philosophy of this breed of human. To acknowledge that all people deserve rights and dignity would be an admission of their consent to murder and genocide. Rather than acknowledging that both the US government and Islamic extremists have, and still are, committing homicidal acts, they discount the millions of innocent civilians slaughtered by American state terrorism while focusing on the relatively few Americans who have died at the hands of Islamic extremists. Don?t forget to look at the plank in your own eye?

"You people are are bunch of sick puppies and don't quite get the drift that there are Good Men and Women dying for the likes of you and you ilk. Get a life. America is the Greatest Country this world has ever seen and a bunch of no accounts and self hating (because you have never done anything worth while in you life but live off of others misery that you help create with your stupidity) will never see the day that Real Americans will let you pull the sh*t you did during Vietnam, what you did then cost the lives of thousands of Good People (unlike you) and are attempting to do now."

The Good People to which this Ugly American appears to be referring were used as pawns (by murderers like Johnson, Nixon and Kissinger) to massacre 3 to 5 million Vietnamese civilians. The range of the number of deaths is so wide because the US military "doesn't do body counts". Our ruling elite sent 59,000 of these Good People to their deaths to perpetuate the military industrial complex and the US push for hegemony. Fortunately for me, I do not have what it takes to fit this reader's definition of a "Real American", nor do I suffer from the delusion that ?America is the Greatest Country this world has ever seen?. Like other nations, the United States has faults and is guilty of moral transgressions. In fact, the power it wields magnifies the consequences of its transgressions to a devastating level.

"Until the Darwinian evolutionists can intelligently and convincingly explain WHY apes stopped advancing into mankind and WHEN apes stopped advancing into mankind then there is plenty of room in our schools to teach alternate theories including Intelligent Design.

Do you have the answer to my question above? If you do then please continue along the same vein and answer for me what specie did the Bengal Tiger and African Elephant ascend or descended from as well? No science and no politics please just common sense please."

America, the alleged "leader of the free world", is quite lonely amongst its "constituency" of industrialized nations in its suspicion and outright rejection of science. While the Ugly Americans condemn Islamic nations for their alleged religious extremism, they continue to pit a mythological tale (which has no supporting evidence) against a scientific theory which can be traced back to Lamarck in 1809, has survived scientific scrutiny for almost two hundred years, and is accepted as valid by an overwhelming majority of scientists. A children?s bedtime story called (ironically enough) Intelligent Design, is slowly making its way into the US public school system. I need some clarification now. Who is under the influence of powerful religious extremists?


"There are thousands of cities in this country. We are one of the most economically viable countries in the world and anyone that wants a job can find one; maybe that means one must leave New Orleans....regardless, the opportunity exists. To blame the President for the fact that these people refuse to get off their asses and move into the workforce is not his fault."

Many Americans struggle to find work due to lack of skills and education. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, the current US unemployment rate is 5% (so much for ?anyone? being able to find a job), and many unemployed Americans are untracked for a variety of reasons. The federal minimum wage has remained at the pitifully low $5.75 per hour since 1997. Of those "fortunate" enough to land a job at a "benevolent" corporation like Wal-Mart, they receive grossly inadequate wages and benefits. Opportunities are much broader for some than they are for others. This Ugly American also assumed that all of the victims of Katrina populated the welfare roles, which is false.

Consider this excerpt from http://www.clasp.org/publications/workforce_final.pdf

"Many of the newly unemployed victims of hurricane Katrina have the skills and resources necessary to rebuild their lives, but others lack marketable skills. Prior to the disaster, educational levels were low in the region. In July, the unemployment rate in New Orleans was 5.6 percent, and nearly a quarter (23 percent) of residents were poor. The median household income for the Biloxi-Gulfport-Pascagoula area was nearly $8,000 below the national average in 2004. Many low-wage workers in the region?s service-dominated economy were just a paycheck away from poverty."

"LBJ created the NO situation with his war on poverty creating a vast useless dependent group of people. It was so evident went the little child was interviewed on TV demanding "his help" unable already at an early age to think of anything but Washington giving him his "help" LBJ's welfare created this mess and people like you keep it going!

Your the racist and white people are the one's you hate! "

Justifying the perpetration of slavery, murder, and obscene discrimination against an entire race of people by attacking the victims is a typical tactic of Ugly Americans. Projection of their own twisted beliefs (like racism) onto others is a powerful psychological defense such people employ. In this case it is enabling them to reconcile their inner conflict between their conscience and their perverse value system. Ironically, millions of white Americans are unconsciously racist, and this individual is obviously one of them.


"I believe the only people who truly have a problem with the Patriot Act are those who have something to hide. I, for one, do not mind giving up a few freedoms, or privacy, to ensure the safety of my country as a whole. The very privacy laws that groups like the ACLU support are used by terrorist and criminals to hide their actions. Those who hide behind our liberal laws have done so long enough; it is time they were reigned in."

The ACLU exists for the purpose of preserving the rights guaranteed to all Americans in the Bill of Rights and subsequent Constitutional Amendments. Privacy is only one right which the ACLU defends. The Patriot Act represents a significant threat many of our civil liberties, including privacy (http://www.aclu.org/files/openfile.cfm?id=11812). The Bush regime loves loyal subjects like this one who are eager to surrender their rights in exchange for the "security" offered by Big Brother.
