It’s starting to get a bit depressing to say you’re from America, when people in Russia ask you. I almost always have to qualify the “yes,” in the past it was, “I too think George Bush is an idiot,” but now we have moved on to a president of parallelism, “I too think Obama is an idiot!” Then with added assurance, “We got what we voted for and that is the state of affairs in the U.S!”
What’s most depressing about America these days is that folks are either too scared to stand-up for the beliefs (e.g. Liberals) or they are so strident and fundamentalist as to sound almost crazy (e.g. Dick Cheney and the whole Conservative neocon movement). It’s gotten so scary in America that the neocons would say that this blog post is anti-American…
Sorry, but I’m not anti-American, I’m just anti-neocon America (i.e. the ideology that America is “the best” and that it’s the job of the American government to pursue its interests regardless of the cost)…
If you are silent and hiding behind your door, you condone all that is happening and as the saying goes, “If you are not a part of the solution, you are a part of the problem…”
What the hell happened to my America that I once knew and loved? That America that the whole world loved and admired is gone. America is falling apart at the seams…
