America the Beautiful Contradiction

I love America. I really do. A country where a woman is not free to get an abortion whenever she wants because it's murder according to many state legislatures and her life is worth less than the unborn fetus. A place where children are raised to be independent thinkers and told they can be anything they want. Then they watch Hillary Rodham Clinton lose the primaries on Fox News on TVs made in non union shops. Where there is separation of Church and State, but only when Big Brother is not watching and moderately at best in the Northeast and parts of the West Coast. You can purchase condoms at any age, but are not considered an adult unless you give birth as a teenage mother or reach the age of 18. Yet, it will be three more years to chase the cigarettes with vodka. Where African Americans are still second class citizens and Latinos continue to be reminded English first.

So, why should I be concerned that George W. Bush reminded people of the American dream and encouraged home ownership and here we are in bankruptcy hell. He expected Americans to act morally after he spent his youth coked up with his wife who killed another human while intoxicated and daughters who couldn't keep their hands off fake IDs and the booze. His friends the banking industry now lectures Americans on morals. Same folks who took stimulus money at super discounted prices, jacked up credit card rates for little or no reason at all of their customers, paid back the money the American people lent them, but left the increased APR rates, some at a rate of more than 25% in tact. Average Joes, stop doing that!

Americans are free to do what they want so long as it's good for the Republicans and big business. Otherwise, put your head in your bible and be a role model because nobody wants those who enslaved much of the poor, many of the uneducated, and very often the hardest working segment of American society to act like their owners. Slave owners do not want the competition when it comes to screwing over citizens and residents.
