Wed, 25 Feb 2009 20:06:00 +0000 http://www.dissidentvoice.org/?p=6932#comment-39577 Such a great article. This country is full of double standard hypocrisy… people love the Girls Gone Wild videos and Playboy playmates, but they’ll scream WHORE!!! at any young woman who has been secretly taped having sex with her boyfriend in privacy, also mocking Parisite Hilton and other celebrities for wearing provoactive clothes.

Americans recoil at stories of the Holocaust and killing camps, yet they won’t bat an eyelash about the reports of more than 1,000 Palestinians murdered by the Israelis. While we’re on the topic of Israel, this country claims to pride itself on “seperation between church and state” yet many Americans will stauncly support Israel as a “Jewish homeland” in the name of Judaism, which pretty much goes against what America is supposed to stand for.

Geez, double standards.

Great article, by the way.

We have done it to ourselves … and the sad thing is that all the hype about change was just that … hype. No changes … we will continue to be the bullyboys with respect to foreign policy because that is actually what we want … no accountability for economic decisions because we like to talk, but hate walking … the analogy about the ubiquitous channel-changer under your thumb says it all … we are just too complacent … and too greedy.

But, what else is new?

And don’t go off saying that if we didn’t someone else would … that is just another damned excuse we like to use as we sit on top of the empire and hope that O’Bama preserves our place in the sun as we f–k over the rest of the world.

Sad, but oh so true …
