Why America Sucks


Right-Wing Assholes


Got an e-mail from this moron a few days ago.  I was very tempted to get into a tit-for-tat correspondence with him, in the spirit of the Chomsky vs. Hitchens debates that appeared in The Nation and Z Magazine shortly after the 9/11 attacks.

Then I smacked myself on the head and reminded myself that this guy is an asshole and an idiot, and if I were to either answer him, or spend a holiday weekend counting dirt clods, the latter would be time better spent.

He sent this e-mail to me with a return-address to "Canada Sucks" dot com - a site complete with invasion plans for the golden moment when we Omniscient Yanks invade those godless chinuks.  So you know I'm dealing with a mental giant here.

I should thank him, because now I will have to look up and verify my statistics regarding jail time for heroin dealers in Massachusetts who are first-time offenders. Though I think my numbers are very close to being correct, they were based largely upon the amalgamation of info I received from The November Coalition, a website dedicated to victims of the drug war's heavy-handed sentencing policies.  Please stop in there and have a look for yourself.

I should also thank him for reminding me to tone down my rants and keep them a little more, shall we say, erudite?  I really love to say fuck and shit and piss - like any good radical - but there are times when the waterfront dialect can be counter-productive.

But�then again�the main reason I started this site is so that I could say whatever I wanted, from the gut, and call an asshole by his name. Bill O'Reilly, Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, et al.

Instead of answering his bullshit pseudo-argument point by point, I will instead do my research and use them as humorous introductions to future posts.

First off, it sounds to me, that you are another middle-aged, treehugging, afraid to fight, pussy, that for some reason or another is angry at a country that grants him the right to post the retarded shit that he does on his webpage. That said and done, let's get on with the hate mail.

You are anti-American, just by posting "Why America Sucks." It does not suck, it has it's problems like any other nation, and with the pation and anger you put into your manifesto(s), it sounds to me like you hate American.

"Rapacious explotation of resources?" Explain yourself. The desk you type at your computer, is that not made of wood. Where did that come from? The car you drive to work, does that not use oil and fuel? I guess I'm crazy, but the use of YOUR car and YOUR computer desk is not to the benifit of that "faceless stockholder". Are you angry that some people busted their ass in this country and got some dollars, and now you're angry at them because you missed the boat? Jealousy, anyone? I guess those bastards that rape and plunder the Earth, you've never bought one of their products, correct?

As for your misinformed rant on The Drug War, again, it's just a lack of education. Your little friend Amy deserves to be in jail because of the quantity of heroin that she possesed. Granted, drug laws are tough, but since you hate the DEA, and care not to look into how they are attempting to change drug users to a more rehabilitation instead of punishment consequence. It's hard to do because 90% of drug punishments are at the state level, and not the federal, which the DEA is a part of.

Heroin is a very hard drug to be imprissioned for intent to distribute in any state. It's the leading illicit drug on the streets, currently, and is relitivly new. Thus, the drug laws are relativly new, and reflects that attempt to change the punishments recently. Your friend Amy would have to be carrying, based on averages of all 50 state's laws on the controlled substance of heroin, would have to be in possesion of at least a kilogram of heroin and/or opium, to get that charge. A kilogram of heroin is enough for 10 people to overdose on. So either she was buying in bulk to store up for the recession, or she was peddling heroin to the people that you so viemetly defend. Or, maybe, the drug dealer also needs rehab and some Narcotics Anon. to become a decent member of society again.

Sounds like your description of the police officer is a little bit overdrawn. Unless you live in the backwoods, an officer knows that he isn't supposed to talk about details like that. If he did, he is no longer a cop, as he well shouldn't be. My belief is that you lied about the part with the cop, due to your "fat cat" stereotypical discription of him. Now that I read it further, I know you are lying. Undercover officer's are not uniformed officers. They are higher ranking officers, such as detectives. If he was a detective, he would not be involved in a high-speed pursuit.

Also, get your statistics right. There are far more 23 year old female's not serving felony convictions than there are of them serving. So not every 13 year old will be imprisioned because they are selling, not using, heroin.

What the hell is sniffing? I've never heard of it, and sounds like an extremly dumb move to me. They are smelling you to see if you do drugs? How would they know what drugs smell like, if they've never done them? Maybe they're just trying to find out where that smell of shit is coming from.

As for free speech.

Maybe if you read FCC guidelines, you'd understand a bit more. They can not regulate that ficticious show you made up. They can if it advocates the overthrowing of the United States government, but otherwise they can not. The only thing the FCC can regulate about content is if it advocates the overthrow of the United States government, sexual and prfane content, and things of that nature. Why do you think that the KKK can get a show on public access cable, and not have it be edited or interrupted. And don't give me any shit about it being right-wing, becuase I have seen many cable access shows preaching communism and socialism in the United States. Freedom of Speech index? What the hell is that? And have you ever been to even one of those countries? I love how all you leftist, marxist scum think that Europe is the Holy Land. Germany is one of the toughest states when it comes to the airwaves, given their fragile political past. Canada, is just as bad. They don't even provide funding for public access, unlike the United States. France, maybe so, but that is also why their government never solves a thing. Ah, and the Netherlands. What are you? Druggie, petophile, or just a loser who can't get any pussy? Maybe a mix? Yet another false-Holy land of the treehugger. Can't mention "real" freedom without mentioning the Netherlands, can you? Again, probably a country you've never been to.

Oh my God! You're notebooks were stolen!! Perhaps to give you a hint! Talk about conspiracy theory and peronoia. If that indeed happened, I'm sure you reported it to the USPS, right? And they turned you down saying they didn't know anything, right? Dude, get a life. Now you're just making up inflamitory shit to further your point, because you have no real evidence. Think about it. You're a piece of shit, right? Right. Why would the government "steal" your personal journals and notebooks, and what message is that sending to you? Don't mail personal journals and notebooks to yourself? What the hell can you do to the government? You're just a lowly piece of shit, commie-fuck. Yes, that is what I think, but wouldn't that be the thought of the evil right-wing government agent that raided your worthless personal belongings?

Ahh, here we go. About how the press is all controlled by right-wing richies. Yet CNN, a Turner entity, was owned by Ted Turner, who married a communist, and repeatedly gave money to numerous democratic party canidates. Oh, and ABC. Let's not forget about those evil republicans who are owned by Disney who has also given millions of dollars to the DNC, and holds "Gay-pride Day" at Disneyworld. Sure seems like an evil republican corporation to me. Oh, let's not forget NBC, who also contributes to the DNC, and airs ads preaching gun control, and anti-tobbacco propoganda, yes, another evil republican. And then there's CBS, part of the major conglomerate known as Viacom, who is ran by one of Bill Clinton's best firend's, Mel Karmazin. The only one who has ties to the GOP, is Rupert Murdock, proprieter of FOX. Which in itself explains your hatred for FOX News. Because it isn't a part of the biased left-wing reporting, you and the rest of the nation is acustomed to. Yes, don't watch syndicated television, go out and read a left-wing rag by a conspiracy theorist, like yourself, who doesn't have the money, nor the resources, to provide accurate reporting. It's dickheads like you that can't see that all reporting is biased in one way or another, and shallow people, again, like yourself, who read between the political rhetoric and get the clumps of news to make your own judgments on. And by the way, there is no such thing as "syndicated-network" television. There is syndicated-cable, but not network. Network television, anyone can get for free with some rabbit ears or an antennae, and is not sold to cable companies to air, which is the definition of syndication. Comprende?

And your hatred for FOX News Channel. Funny, all your examples are of opinionated editorial shows, the same as CNN's Larry King Live, The Point, or Crossfire, and MSNBC's Hardball. Yes, O' Reily does tend to go to the right a bit, BECAUSE IT IS AN OPINIONATED SHOW, JACKASS. You know that 18 hour block in between those shows? Yeah, that's called news, dickhead. Basically what you're saying is that you hate FOX News because it's opinionated shows disagree with your views, again, why you got angry with Charlie Gibson rolling his eyes. Simply because he disagree's with your view.

Also, a bit off point, but do you know why oil companies would go up there and drill and not the U.S. government? Because that would cost millions upon billions of our tax dollars, and that would be nationalizing an industry, a.k.a. communism. We are a capitalist society, and that's the way things are done, chief. Maybe you just don't want to live with that. Maybe you'd rather live in a run-down, oppresive government regime like in China, Vietnam, or Cuba, great socialists they are, eh? Would you be allowed to speak out about your nation in those pillars of human rights? Your site would be down, and you'd be dead, boss.

Anyway, back to Fox News. I guess you missed every other O' Reily Factor, where he has both the left and the right argue over issues. But that, again, isn't news, so, who cares, right? I guess Hannity and Colmes are two right-wing commentators, correct?

The right won't let up? Man, I'd laugh at that if I didn't feel so sorry for you. One out of five major news outlets is conservative, instead of liberal, and that constitutes a political machine. I guess. I guess that lying would be any different than what you were doing earlier, right? And how would you go about stopping that lying? By censoring him? The same thing you preach against?

Now, onto your rant on Corporate America. Ah, the great devil that also keeps most of this nation employed. Oh my God! The airlines laid off 140,000 people, and they don't care about them! Dear God! Dude, they lay them off, because they have no choice, and because they don't need them. I guess in your fantasy world, the airlines would be able to magically grow the money to pay these employees who would stand around and do nothing because of a deterorating industry? Ah, yes, that's it, they control our politicians. Don't like it, move somewhere else, OOPS, wait, it's like that everywhere. Except of course in nations where you don't get to elect your leaders, want to live there? It's a bidding war, and yes, it may be wrong, but what else can you do about it but live with it? You think everyone should have a fair shot? Go ahead, run for President, with your political platform the way it is. See how many Americans vote for your pathetic ass. See, that's the problem with you leftists. You think that the two-party system sucks, and we should be this great convention of hundreds of political parties. Seems to me that the American people are satisfied with the two party system, and don't even want a third party. Henceforth why dickheads like Ross Perot, and Ralph Nader never got elected, nor even came close.

Do you know how parlimentary politics work? It all ends up being the same thing. There is always a liberal, and a conservative, and there is no mid-ground. All parties in France, Israel, Canada, and the U.K. (just to name a few) all go one way or another.

Ah, the rich, yet more of the evil scum. I guess since they're smart, and have a plan, they should give it all up to appease people like you who don't have the balls, fortitude, and brains that they have and/or had to get that money? You're preaching communism, yet again. Yes, that is the way things are in this country. You are asking people to give up their money so that the people who don't deserve it can have a share. What the fuck is wrong with you? Seriously. I don't think you deserve to have a better car than I do, so I deserve one too. Yes, your statistics are correct, but what do they represent? What point do they get acrossed?

So, let's take your closing rant:

!!!GROSSLY AND DIABOLICALLY UNFAIR!!!

(Again, solely because they have more money than you.)

NOTE TO ULTRA-RICH PIGS�I MEAN PEOPLE:

(Strong words for those evil people who gainfully employ your ass.)

CONSUMERISM IS CAPITALISM.

(Yes, but what you are preaching is communism.)

POOR PEOPLE ARE BAD CONSUMERS.

(No shit, they don't have any money to spend, and if they'd show some initiative, they wouldn't be poor.)

IT IS IN CAPITALISM'S BEST INTEREST

(AND YOURS)

TO MAKE POOR PEOPLE UNPOOR

SO THAT THEY CAN BUY MORE STUFF!

(That's the lamest thing I have ever heard. Then all they are doing is getting their own money back, less some due to the fact that not all their money they give out would be coming back to them, it could be going to compition. And again, that isn't capitalism, that is communism. Two different school's of thought, chief).

"But even that, in and of itself, isn't the real solution�."

(No, it's not even a temporary one. It isn't even a fesable one. It's just someone playing off to a small minority that will hang on everyone of his words.)

So I guess in your closing that you are insinuating that Bush planned the whole thing. I guess that, in itself, explains your mental state. Yes, I guess we are horrible people, and that all the citizens (all 8% of them) are upset about the campaign in Afghanistan. Due to your time frame, I guess we should have found out now that the Kaiser Wilhelm I was a great man, just trying to be friends with all nations in Europe, and that Hitler was really a good guy at heart, and was paid by the Allies to start a war, right?

Again, with the conspiracy theroies. If you reasearched both sides of the story (JFK) then you would have a clearer picture. But judging by your close-mindedness, I doubt that would have happened. I'd love to school you on how the Warren Report was correct, I always get a kick out of presenting fact, as to assumption.

And what do you mean the press has "been" corporatized? It always has been. The only press that the U.S. circulated to it's citizens was during times of civil strife, which was propoganda. Do you want the government that you hate so much to control the media? Why do you contradict yourself at every turn?

I also love how the things you like about America happen to be leftist. And therein lies the truth about you. You are a shee to Henry Miller, you admit to doing things just because he did them, not because you wanted to, you are an unattractive piece of shit, CRIMINAL, who can't get pussy, that's why you call on prostitutes. You are angry at America because it's people, and rightfully, and thankfully so, have rejected your extremist views at every turn, and you realize that your Utopian society will either be 1.) just a dream, or 2.) a complete disaster making things 20 times worse than they are right now, and sending the U.S., and pretty much the World, deep into anarchy. Also, you are a liar, a hypocrite, a druggie, a treehuger, who doesn't shower (hence the sniffing) and just plainly a sick, derranged, misinformed, and miseducated piece of grabastic shit.

Sincerely,

Someone who knows, and IS, better than you.
