I'm proud to be an American and living in the US. Even if Bush is re-elected and I voted for Kerry, there are still democrats in the senate and 4 years from now there'll be another election.

What exactly is it that you are proud of?
Are you proud that 4 years ago our system allowed a man to become President even though he didn't really win the election?
Are you proud that all the people who were so pissed off about the last election have sold out their values, turned their backs, and actually voted the bastard back into office?
Are you proud of the way that Bush has handled his war?
Fuck all that. I'm not proud to be an American. In fact, I'm embarrassed by it.
A Government of the people, by the people, and for the people? Yeah right. Get real.
Another election 4 years from now huh? Nice......I'm sure they will be just as fair and effective as the last 2.
What's so fucking great about this country? Everybody is crooked, the majority of our troops are poor kids who needed a job and the hopes of an education, and we give tax breaks to companies who send jobs out of the country.
Thinking back on history....I could swear that we fought a war to become "FREE." Now the very country that we fought has way less crime and seemingly more freedom than we do.
Proud to be an American huh? Sad.
