Sorry, Bob, but it's historical fact that this country has been the cause of many evils that plague the world today.
Many of us (I consider myself part of the 'revolution') just want truth, justice, and new beginnings, a fresh start shall we say.
This country was not founded on all the BS they teach us in school. It was founded on wealthy businessmen becoming land owners, and then bringing over slaves and indentured servants to prop themselves up upon. There's a long standing and well documented history of it.
Did you know that non-land owners were disqualified from voting or running for office? Did you know that the wealthy intentionally stirred racist tensions between blacks, indians, and whites, knowing that keeping them divided insured the wealthy from ever having a strong uprising against their tyranny.
Did you know that indentured servants were only a small step above a slave?
The very people who wrote our constitution were almost all guilty of tyranny and injustice, some at staggering levels.
It might be a shocking surprise to you if you read the ORIGINAL constitution, before so many congresses edited and re-wrote sections of it. Even the owning land to vote part was in it. It was so disturbingly slanted to serve the wealthy, and our schools refuse to teach the truth.
Instead, they choose to fill our heads with all this patriotism and lies to support it, and then expect you to defend the country against anything, including scrutiny.
It's not much different than a guitarist who thinks he's so damn awesome and gifted that he can no longer scrutinize himself, refuses to believe he's not the best, refuses to believe it's possible to improve, and starts a fist-fight with ANYONE who dares to question his awesome-ness. Think about it. I did.
