honestly......
Okay, I'm going to warn you all right off that this blog needs to be read with a completely open mind. I want you to rid yourselves of all preconceived ideas and to actually read what I'm saying. This being said....
Today in history class we were talking about the Red Scare that happened after WWI and how Palmer managed to get over 6000 people arrested. Our wonderful democracy beat and tortured these people, most of which were not communists, to force confessions and brand themselves as communists and terrorists.
During this time period, 1923 to be exact, the KKK had reached an all time high of 6 million members. The KKK not only despised blacks, but anyone who wasn't native born to the United States, white, and Protestant. They openly opposed Jews, Blacks, Catholics, and immigrants...even white immigrants.
In WWII, our marvelous democracy once again showed its superiority by rounding up all the "Evil Japanese" and forcing them to live in concentration camps, simply because Japan had bombed Pearl Harbor.
Our government uses the military to force their way into other countries under the guise of "spreading democracy" and "the American way."
Which brings up the purpose of this blog.
Where the crap do we get the right to say that communist Russia is looking to take over the world and that they are evil when Democratic USA barges into Iraq and Afghanistan to "save the women" and "give them democracy" and we view ourselves as redeemers?
How can we say that all of Germany was evil in WWI with their death camps and discrimination of the Jews and Blacks when in our own country we have had the very same problems with the KKK? Not everyone in America, hell the South, was in the KKK just like not everyone in Germany was a Nazi.
How are we any better than the communists or the Nazis?
Where the hell do we get the idea that the "American Way" and "Democracy" are the superior views of life?
Call me Un-American, I really could care less.
I just want people to actually think before condemning an entire race, country, or government simply based on our distorted view of history.
Americans are not perfect.
We are not the superior race.
We are not the superior country.
Our government is not the ideal government.
We need to get our heads out of our asses and actually look at other people and their ideas.
The Iraqi's culture is different than ours. Their religion is different than ours. So why should we expect them to have the same government we do?
Because we believe that we are the superior people.
And that, America, is where we have completely screwed up.
We are no better than the Nazis.
We are no better than the Communists.
We are no better because we are just as radical in our views as we think they are.
Wake up, America!
