It's not. But it can be - Opening rant from The Newsroom

I do not own the rights to this video, they are owned by HBO. I fully expect this video to be brought down however this is exactly how I feel about this country and I wanted people to be able to see it.

This is NOT a dig on our American Sisters and Brothers.... watch the whole dam thing before commenting please..... The truth hurts!

Instead of making/thinking some country is the greatest country in the world.....

Why the fuck don't we work on making this the greatest planet in the solar system and work together instead against each other?????

One world.... One people! Peace and Love!

Thank you SO much for sharing this. It is one of the most BRILLIANT secnes I have ever seen on television in a very long time. I think Jeff Daniels should get the Emmy just for this scene. It is so damn on target and right, especially now! Thanks so much!

[mrfoltz]

I'd like that! :)

[Robert Turner]

I like you, you know what's up. LET'S BE AWESOME TOGETHER AS ONE PEOPLE AND ONE PLANET!

I know this is very sobering information, but if you don't like it then do something about it. Just trying to deny something doesn't make it not exist. If we can work together we can fix some of the issues he mentioned, and get the country back on track again.

This was good unti he put the rose tinted glasses on for a past that never was.

[tehboyscout]

Arguing whether liberals and conservatives are the better representatives like two rival sports teams will not get us anywhere. Generalizing what someone who identifies as liberal or conservative must be like dehumanizes the American public and creates an us versus them attitude. It is killing us. Please stop. I am not talking about you Leigh, but the thread above. Liberals and Conservatives are not fucking Pokemon with specific abilities, they are human beings. Judge the by their actions.

Read Howard Zinn. The chapter "Violence and Human Nature from his book Passionate Declarations: Essays on War and Justice. You can probably find it online for free.
