Proud to be an American???

[brian]

Well spent some time in the car driving today and decided to listen to the news radio. Heard something that just, well for a lack of a better word, pissed me off. Mrs. Barrack Obamma stated the "for the first time since I was a child I am proud to be an American." You have got to be kidding me, what the hell? This family has enjoyed all the freedoms that this country has to offer. All the opportunities that are available to a person that is willing to put forth the effort. Our military have fought and died for her to be able to say the crap that she is saying. We may not have the perfect country, but show me a country or government that is better! Mr. Obamma stated that one of his relatives (I think father) sat in front of his T.V., in Uganda (spelling not right) and stayed up till 5 Am waiting for the preliminary results. And that people hungered for what we have.

Out of his mouth comes, people are starving for the freedoms that we have, to travel without fear, to be free. Yet out of his wifes mouth comes, I am finally proud to be an American. I don't know about you, but this seems like a contradiction in terms. Lets see hear, if they think it has been so bad here in the Land Of The Free And The Home Of The Brave for the last thirty or so years, how about they trade places with a person from a war torn country. Lets see how proud they are then. Excuse me for ranting, but this ticks me off when a person that has obviously benefited from this country and its freedom of religion, speech, capitalism, etc. says that they are just now proud of their country.

WHAT WE HAVE HERE IS A HISTORY LESSON ENJOY...............

Your history lesson of the day:

Humans originally existed as members of small bands of nomadic hunters/gatherers. They lived on deer in the mountains during the summer and would go to the coast and live on fish and lobster in the winter.

The two most important events in all of history were the invention of beer and the invention of the wheel. The wheel was invented to get man to the beer. These were the foundation of modern civilization and together were the catalyst for the splitting of humanity into two distinct subgroups:

1. Liberals; and
2. Conservatives.

Once beer was discovered, it required grain and that was the beginning of agriculture. Neither the glass bottle nor aluminum can were invented yet, so while our early humans were sitting around waiting for them to be invented, they just stayed close to the brewery.

That's how villages were formed.

Some men spent their days tracking and killing animals to B-B-Q at night while they were drinking beer. This was the beginning of what is known as the Conservative movement.

Other men who were weaker and less skilled at hunting learned to live off the conservatives by showing up for the nightly B-B-Q's and doing the sewing, fetching, and hair dressing. This was the beginning of the Liberal movement.

Some of these liberal men eventually evolved into women. The rest became known as girlie-men. Some noteworthy liberal achievements include the domestication of cats, the invention of group therapy, group hugs, and the concept of Democratic voting to decide how to divide the meat and beer that conservatives provided.

Over the years Conservatives came to be symbolized by the largest, most powerful land animal on earth; the elephant.

Liberals are symbolized by the jackaZZZZZZZZ.

Modern liberals like imported beer (with lime added), but most prefer white wine or imported bottled water. They eat raw fish but like their beef well done. Sushi, tofu, and French food are standard liberal fare.

Another interesting evolutionary side note: most of their women have higher testosterone levels than their men. Most social workers, personal injury attorneys, journalists, dreamers in Hollywood and group therapists are liberals. Liberals invented the designated-hitter rule because it wasn't fair to make the pitcher also bat.

Conservatives drink domestic beer. They eat red meat and still provide for their women. Conservatives are big-game hunters, rodeo cowboys, lumberjacks, construction workers,farmers, firemen, medical doctors, police officers, corporate executives, athletes, Marines, and generally anyone who works productively.

Conservatives who own companies hire other conservatives who want to work for a living.

Liberals produce little or nothing. They like to govern the producers and decide what to do with the production. Liberals believe Europeans are more enlightened than Americans. That is why most of the liberals remained in Europe when conservatives were coming to America . They crept in after the Wild West was tamed and created a business of trying to get more for nothing.

Here ends today's lesson in world history: It should be noted that a Liberal may have a momentary urge to angrily respond to the above before forwarding it. A Conservative will simply laugh and be so convinced of the absolute truth of this history that it will be forwarded immediately to other true believers and to more liberals just to piss them off.
