Response To The Bad Americans

I have been forwarded this "Im A bad American" thing so many times and have seen it posted on many message boards, including Gather's. Each time I see it I am extremely rankled at the inanity of it but I tell myself "Hold your peace, move on."  Well, I have decided I don't want to do that anymore and so I will respond to it in my own post. You are free to agree or disagree with me. I will not delete your comments nor will I suggest that you disconnect with me if you don't agree with me. The text of the Bad American script will be in bold and my responses follow.

{YOU DON'T NEED TO KNOW MY NAME}YES, I'M A BAD AMERICAN I Am the Liberal-Progressive's Worst Nightmare. I am an American.

I am not surprised that the person who authored this does not want credit for it and I agree that the author is probably someone I'd consider a nightmare.

I believe the money I make belongs to me and my family, not some Liberal governmental functionary be it Democratic or Republican!  I'm in touch with my feelings and I like it that way!
I think owning a gun doesn't make you a killer, it makes you a smart American.

Now that is just silly. Obviously some killers own guns and you don't have to take an IQ test to purchase one.

I think being a minority does not make you noble or victimized, and does not entitle you to anything.

I think being in a minority entitles you to the same rights and privileges as those in a majority

I believe that if you are selling me a Big Mac, do it in English.

American's are so lazy. So many citizens of the world are bilingual. I don't care what you speak if you get my order right and don't over charge me.

I believe everyone has a right to pray to his or her God when and where they want to.

Now there is something I actually agree with.

My heroes are John Wayne, Babe Ruth, Roy Rogers, and whoever canceled Jerry Springer.
I don't hate the rich. I don't pity the poor.

So an American is someone who takes pride in having no compassion for people less fortunate?

I know wrestling is fake and I don't waste my time watching or arguing about it.
I've never owned a slave, or was a slave, I haven't burned any witches or been persecuted by the Turks and neither have you! So, shut up already.
I believe if you don't like the way things are here, go back to where you came from and change your own country! This is AMERICA ..If you were born here and don't like it you are free to move to any Socialist country that will have you.

I see, so if my husband doesn't like the curtains I choose then he should just move out. I've been hearing this "Love it or leave it" crap since the 60's. As an American I have the right to criticize the policies and actions of a government that is supposed to be working for me. As a patriot, I not only have a right, but an obligation, to speak out.

I want to know which church is it exactly where the Reverend Jesse Jacksonpreaches, where he gets his money, and why he is always part of the problem and not the solution.
Can I get an AMEN on that one?

No, you can not get an amen from me on that one. Would you mind answering the same questions about James Dobson

I also think the cops have the right to pull you over if you're breaking the law, regardless of what color you are.  

Yep, if you are breaking the law. Nope if you happen to have dark skin and are driving in a predominately white neighborhood. 

 And, no, I don't mind having my face shown on my drivers license

I'm sure you have many objections to having your face on a gun license. 

I think it's good..... And I'm proud that "God" is written on my money.

Considering all the evil that is committed for the sake of money, are you sure God wants his name on it? 

I think if you are too stupid to know how a ballot works, I don't want you deciding who should be running the most powerful nation in the world for the next four years.

I think if you are too stupid to design a ballot that does not cause mass confusion then you shouldn't be designing ballots. I also think that if you are too stupid to care if a party intentionally designs a ballot to engender confusion, then I don't want you deciding who should be running the most powerful nation in the world for the next four years. 

I dislike those people standing in the intersections trying to sell me stuff or trying to guilt me into making "donations" to their cause.

I'm just glad that I don't have to stand in intersections and try to sell stuff. And when the Shriner's come around with their little carnations, I always buy one. Call me crazy.

I believe that it doesn't take a village to raise a child, it takes two parents.

I believe that civilized citizens living in a civilized community have a responsibility to look to the welfare of their smallest and most powerless citizens.

I believe "illegal" is illegal no matter what the lawyers think.
I believe the American flag should be the only one allowed in AMERICA !

You folks always get more excited about the piece of cloth than what it is supposed to represent. Yeah, don't hang no Red Sox banners in my neighborhood.

If this makes me a BAD American, then yes, I'm a BAD American.

You said it

If you are a BAD American too, please forward this to everyone you know.
We want our country back!

Please stop forwarding it to me

WE NEED GOD BACK IN OUR COUNTRY!

Did God leave? Did you tell him if he didn't like things here he should get out? 

Well I feel better now that I've gotten all that off my chest. Now maybe I can go back to writing silly rhymes and trying to take pretty pictures.
