For all who are not aware of the Washington D.C rally schedualed for
Sept.24, 2005 you are aware of it now.
I was amazed and disappointed at the response I received from a number of people I've asked in the last few weeks, if they were going to the big anti war rally. Many said : "What rally?" or "What?"
or "Washington D.C?" Others have said,
"It's not worth my time!" or "Why do
you want to go there?" Some just gave
me a blank stare as though they were
afraid to answer or didn't hear the question. I wasn't being overly aggressive, I knew most of these people. I have to admit what surprized me
was many of them were professionals
that should be aware of what is
going on in the world. They grin and back
away before they say anything
political either right, left or moderate. It's
not because they want to be politically
correct ; I am convinced it is because they do not care enough to be informed enough and realize they are better off keeping their mouths shut;
rather than be found out that they know
nothing at all about the anti war movement.
For my international audiance I will
preface the next sentence by stating
that in the U.S there is a late night television program on called the Jay
Leno Show. Jay Leno will often take
his microphone and go to the streets
of Los Angeles or Burbank California
and ask people walking by certain questions about American history and
current events. The segment of his show
is called "Jay Walking" The segment is
amazing. Nine out of ten people he
speaks to are average Americans walking
on the street. He will ask them basic
questions such as "Who is George Washington? Or Who is George Bush
or Who is Tony Blair or Where is Iraq?"
The amazing thing is most people he
asks haven't a clue of the correct answer.
This is America. This is the country
I live in. These are the majority of
Americans who voted for G.W Bush
and wave the flag and swear at Anti
War activists. These are the majority
of Americans who have not a clue as to who wrote the Declaration of Independence or what it was written for,
or who their founding fathers were , much less who Halliburton is or KBR
or even Dick Cheney. They might have
heard of Saddam Hussein, but they
think he is really Osama Bin Laden.
This is America. I am willing to bet
that three quarters of all the men and
women now serving in the American
armed forces would fail a fifth grade U.S
history test. Most Americans cannot
read beyond a fifth grade level.
The most popular newspapers in the
U.S are the New York Post the
Daily News and the National Enquirer.
None of these papers are written for
readers with IQs of over 80. Other papers like the New York Times delude
people and themselves into believing that they have anything relevant to say,
to the extent that they allow
there reporters to write pure fiction
in place of real news. The results of
this mass disinformation is what happened recently when I spoke before a class of high school seniors in a U.S History class . 25 students all having reached the 12th grade and average age was 18. I asked them if they new what a constitution was and if they could describe what the Constitution of the
United States was. To my complete
amazement not one of them raised their
hand. Not one student in that classroom
of high school seniors knew what a
constitution was or were able to define
what the U.S Constitution was.
This is America. This is why George
W. Bush is the president. This is why
Rush Limbaugh and Fox News are
listened to and believed. An immigrant
applying for citizenship in the U.S
knows more and is required to know more about U.S history than the vast majority of American high school graduates . It is a national
disgrace that the U.S is made up of a vast majority of complete idiots.
The poor immigrant crossing illegally
over the southwestern borders have a
better understanding of America's promise than most American's who were born and raised in the U.S. It is frightening, shocking and a national disgrace.
Yes, God Bless America. Land of the
Moron president. Land of the fat burger, Mayor McCheese, Mc Congress, Mc Movies , Mc Mansions, the abridged versions of everything. Souped up, SUVed,medicated,obese, loud, greedy, arrogant and ignorant. How can the
world look to us for leadership, they
cannot. How can they expect aid from
us? They cannot . America has lost
its way and is too stupid to know it.
I am going to D.C this week end to meet
with all the American Patriots. All
the Americans who know and understand
what is happening to their country.
People who are desparately trying to
salvage honor, decency and
respect for themselves and for their
country in the eyes of the rest of the
world. We must let the World know
that there are living breathing thinking
human beings still left in the U.S and
with the world's help we can take back
our own country and become leaders
and partners again with our old friends
and allies. Those in D.C this weekend
speak for the true American who believes
in the grand ideals of freedom and liberty
and will never accept tyranny.
