| | The best rant ever!!! Everything you said was dead on a bunch of spoiled brats was perfect. It is our corrupted media in my opinion. It blows my mind that there was like 80% of us were for the war after 911, then when americans start to die "what are we doing their". People die in war and it cost money big suprise i guess. Amaerica has its issues but i love this country and wouldnt want to live anywhere else.
Anyways great rant

| | he was right on how americans are and that we have a pretty awsome lifestyle.
but he didnt say that bush isnt protecting us from anything, and definantly not "terrorists". what he is doing is bringing america into an economic decline. americans need to wake up quick to whats happening or we wont be swimming in our things much longer with our overspending and crashing dollar. weve been conditioned with this media and yes we should turn it off or let alternate news back into public eye and not monopolized bullshit franchised news |

| | We dont have it that awesome-granted we have the most creature conforts in the world, but alot of other countries have followed suit and have there little perks too. Swizterland, Amsterdam, Etc.
I personally think that the jewish media is trying to start a race war in America by keeping the majority constantly scared of the minority. really think about it next time your watching the news.
Maybe im just too high to contiplate all this LOL

| | The unhappiness probably stems from the NWO and how we have more people incarcerated for nonviolent crimes than any other country, not to mention our country is in the decline. |

| | Excellent post, FF. On the crime issue: Yes, we have more of our citizens in jail and prisons than ever before ... BUT violent crime is down 25%. See ... there is a brighter side to every issue. California, where I live, has the Three Strikes Law. Be convicted of your third violent felony and you get 25 to life. Sounds about right to me. Vi
