Happy fourth of July and why i still Love America

flag[1]

Happy Fourth of July

What the hell does that mean

Ill tell you

I know the naysayer

Are saying

What

I am ashamed of being an American,

Blah, blah, blah

I am not

Sorry to bust your liberal bubble.........but

Oh sure

There is lots of evilness that America

Has done and still will do

Yea the big industrial complex, blah blah blah

But I still love America

sorry

I get sick when I listen to

That darling Europe Hippocrates

Blast us for so many things

Got allot of nerve

Yea the English

Were big colonizers?

And the French.................we never cowards

And delusional about race relations

Just look at f ranch's every summer riots

To see how good their race relations are

The Germans

God knows they have always been about human rights

Russian doesn't have gulags

The Portuguese never set forth on ships

To destroy claim and infect indigenous communities

With disease and slavery

Oh no not them

Africa is of course for African's

No Mugabe, or idi, or South Africa

Don’t get me started

Arabs god know how much they care for each other

Off with their heads

Shit

I love America

I just took a long stroll in my neighborhood

Where every cooks out just about every day anyway

But today

They are all raising their flags

Brazil, Portugal, Ecuador, Puerto Rico what ever

First of course

Along side a flag of America

I must ad

But as they reminisce about their homelands

Singing in those curious voices

Ok ill stop

Anyway

I ask them and myself silently

Yea

But you are here

Brazil

I know it’s beautiful

Its perfect there

Girl from ipanima,

The look of love

What ever.............

I also saw city of god

I rest my case

Of course it’s not really like that in Brazil

Of course

They don't kill Indians there

Or destroy the rain forest

Or kill street kids...........of course not

There is a reason every one is here

Money

Just money

People say

What the hell else is there?

You can’t eat palm trees can ya?

Right

Money means food and opportunities

Ok things are bad now......gas, food, what ever

But you could be in Iraq

Looking at heads on a stick

Walking gingerly to avoid a roadside bomb or two

Or in Africa

Laying in a hot dark hut swatting flies

Running from government soldiers

Because you voted for the wrong person

Or in china choosing which child will die

To keep up with government regulations

Or in Russia fighting for toilet paper

Brazil Brazil

My ass

They are here for a reason

Yea I love America

Ok so a few hundred black Americans

Were just floating around on logs in New Orleans

Not too long ago

So what

If you got a bunch of crazy white people

That have ten wives

Dress like the brides of Frankenstein

And get married at 12

So what

That’s a personal problem

But they still can do it all here

Liberals

Get on my nerves

Let me get off point here

Will some one please

Put a bullet in Ralph Nader

Please

He lost one election for us

And is starting up again

Black leaders have been silent

Farrakhan's will you take this silly white man out

please.....

Where are the black leaders?

Why are they letting this crone...? Nader

Talk about any thing black

What is going on?

Old jealous men

Snickering from the sideline

Jessie run Jessie run.............cowards.........

That are glad they are messing with obama

Jealous

So sorry

Ralph Nader

He should be put to sleep'

What a bitter silly old man he has become

If any thing is wrong with America

It’s that so many old men

Have not learned

That this is their time to fade into the past

and sit around a tree like uncle Ben

Dispensing wisdom

All the while drinking sweet tea

Anyway

America

God bless it

We got a black man running for president

So what if I call him a spirit animal

We got a black man running from something

Besides the cops

And dream or not

I am voting twice if I can

So I love America

I don’t hate war by the way

I hate wars that are fought

For the wrong reasons

And then fought badly at that

America

Has done things so badly lately

That I am rethinking

America

As a evil empire

We can’t even win a war any more

America

Is a teddy bear

I mean that

Obama

Back to him

Is doing what he must do

Moving to the center

No one believes that any one

With those impossible liberal

Ideals can be elected

America

Is not all dressed in black?

America is farm towns, and factory towns

And working people

Picking fruit

It’s more than the many liberal ideals that sound good on paper

But have messed things up so badly

Liberals my ass

And what the hell is wrong with the woman’s movement

Lets cut off our nose to spite our face

Hillary lost so vote for McCain

I am sorry but white woman

Are in a lot better position

That black men

So please shut the hell up

White woman should change tactics

For once

And do what woman should always do

Control their dumb white men

Who are running things and messing every thing up so badly

And moving the the center

Is about prayer

And war and reasonable alternatives

To unworkable campaign mantras

So lets..................

Bring back some prayer

Bring back the belts

Beat these kids little Asses

Put the fear of God in them

Make them believe in something again

And maybe we can save

More than every other generation

With obviously....... wrong-coddling solutions

Have you looked at these kids lately?

Anyway

Obama

I still don't believe he is a great orator

But white folks love any thing with bass in its voice

I grew up on king and Malcolm

It’s like listening to music now

How can Jennifer Lopez, Chris brown, Britney spears or little john

Compare to Celia Cruz, Donny Hathaway, Billie holiday or Joni Mitchell

I am sorry

But I am not looking for bass now

I am looking for some one who can fix this mess

And I am starting to think

Obama might just get it

Maya angelu

That’s not what I am looking for

I want a functional great mind

Like bill Clinton with out Monica

And I am starting to see

That he just might have one

Obama

I am most impressed

By his organization

And its brilliance at running a campaign

And his ability to change and adept

He knows that john McCain is still so close

And is brave enough to change the whole game

So you go boy

Court Middle America

They need some help too

We all knew he didn't have a message in the beginning

It was just a mantra for for change

We shall over come

Over the mountain top

The fire next time

What ever

Anyway

Now he is playing with the big boys

He will have to come to the middle

Did any one really think?

That we could

Now

Just walk out of Iraq

No matter if it was getting better or not

Which I don’t really think so

There is a way to leave any thing

Girlfriends, wives, jobs

Their is a way to do things

So that it doesn’t come back to bite you on the ass

At one point

I thought that Iraq would make a nice big parking lot

If the war had gone well

But now............it’s calming down

Because almost every one is dead

That’s why it’s getting quieter there

But lets get back to prayer

The people I know pray

I don’t see a thing wrong with prayer in schools

Do you know what I do in my class now?

Every other day

And this a true story

I go into the bathroom

And fill up a bottle of water

Return to my classroom

But first

I pray over that bottle

Then I start splashing the students

Telling them they need god

They need Jesus

I am only half joking when I do this

Because some times these kids

Are so off the hook?

Bad and uncontrollable

That nothing but the lord can calm them

And me down...............

And this is a true story

The staff looks on in horror

My boss flees

The kids laugh

But you know what

Every once in a while

One will look changed

After my blessing

These kids need prayer

What’s wrong what yall?

Anyway

Ill sit out front

And wait to see

If I can see any thing that reminds me of the America

I grew up in

Opine and aunt Bea

Bewitched

And Julia

Nope

But that ok too

Tonto, and the green hornet, and Charlie Chan

Ok I got the reference I need

Anyway

I love America

So if you don’t

Love it or leave it

Happy Fourth of July

And please don’t choke on your

Grilled chicken breast

Salad with low cal dressing

Tofu

And diet sodas

When you read this

What happened to potato?

Salad and pulled pork,

Oh well

Happy Fourth of July
