America is great? Tell that to the Native Americans we displaced, the Africans we enslaved, the women we belittled, the Japanese-Americans we imprisoned, the minorities murdered by white, land-owning bigots. America's fucking great, yeah fucking right! Our Founders owned slaves, first of all. You think that slavery was great about America, you think our flag, drenched in blood, is great? Imperialism is not great. Genocide is not great. The Judaeo-Christian-Islamic god is not great.

The biggest weapon of mass destruction in this country is the Republican Party. Greedy, arrogant, self serving, corporate ass kissers....the whole lot of them!
