America the pathetic

Hey everybody,
I'm sorry it's taken so long for me to make a new post been a lot of stuff going on since the new year and we're half way thru it.
Anyway, on to the post.
I'm gonna be honest, my grandfather fought in WW2, the stories he told before he died were atrocious. He was a Navy man, and please don't be one of those idiots who disrespect the Navy, if you think that Navy men only provide rides for the Marines then you're an idiot.
He was in the Navy in the forties, think about that. He faced not only the inherent problems of being a member of a crew at sea but this was the hey day of Japanese Kamikaze planes.
His stories of the war were few and far between, he only talked about it when he was on medication near his death, or when he was with friends who actually fought with him.
It wasn't a matter of pride, it was a matter of no one understanding what he went thru.
If you're a real person, one who realizes the stresses of not only history but the human condition then read on.
My grandfather didn't risk his life for a matter of pride or the name of a president or even the colors of the flag flying on his ship. He risked his life for you and me. Don't get it wrong, he fought because it was the right thing to do.
Think about that time, it wasn't about propaganda, it was a heavenly mixture for any politician at the time.
It was a dream for, well, the American dream. Hitler and Mussolini came forth and were exactly what Americans were waiting to get off on. A true enemy who genuinely seemed evil and determined to rule the world.
Hitler was a man who knew what he wanted, and he would not stop until he controlled all of the earth.
I know, you're sitting there talking about how terrible that was, but the catch is that you're a hypocrite if you do think that.
The American way is based on greed. Greed, last I checked, is, according to every philosopher and religion, the worst of all human emotions. It ties into to hubris and avarice.
Truth is, America is only an idea, nothing more. People like to say they love this country, but let's be honest, it's just a fantasy. No one is actually an American. Why? Because America exists in no place but the mind.
Land of the free and home of the brave? We haven't been either. Lately we've been the land of the hypocrite and home of the weak, material-oriented pansies.
It's not about the best for this country anymore, it's about what is best for the rich. That's what Bush followed, the rich.
Bottom line is this, America was founded on dissonance and dissension, if you don't get that then you need a history refresher.
Religion has taken over this country, and in the end it will ruin this country.
Either way I will always follow the maxim of Thomas Paine "All the world is my country, it's inhabitants my brethren, and to do good is my religion."
Unfortunately this has become a theocracy, the most pathetic of institutions.
Only the weak follow religion, the strong follow logic and reason.
Best of wishes to all,
The Captain
