true. and isn't america supposed to have a separation of church and state? and all this talk about being a patriot. remember the McCarthy era? o what? you don't think like us, you must be a communist and communist are our enemies. o what? the us government is reading the communist manifesto over the airwaves to russians so they know what communism really is? well that's just supporting communism we can't do that. and now it's the same thing. o what? you don't think like us, you must be a terrorist. the government is just using this as a means to control the masses. there is a difference between being patriotic and being idiotic. you know what i think is patriotic? it's trying to stop the country i love from becoming any worse than it already is. it's recognizing mistakes and corruption and standing up and demanding corection. it's not standing back and watching the government go to shit and letting people in charge commit crimes with impunity and saying o, well i'm patriotic so i support the country no matter what.
