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.

I couldn't agree with you more, however there ARE countries where you would be killed for saying these thing. As bad as America will be for the next four years, it COULD be a lot worse.
