I'm ashamed to be an American!
How can 49% of this country stand behind such a corrupt, inept administration? These pirates are bankrupting us and destroying the environment! Now the assult weapons ban will not be renewed, and orders for such weapons are through the roof! What have we become? This is not my America!

2. I used to be ashamed in the 70's
But then I realized that I wasn't ashamed to be an American, I was ashamed those other dipwads were Americans.

7. You took the words...
Right out of my brain.

There are still a lot of good people, great and small(especially small), who embody every quality and strength that should make even the most callous amongst us proud to be American. Every day.

3. My sentiments
exactly. And people around me wonder why I can only stare at the supporters of the wrong side in dumbfounded silence. It's either that, or start spouting vitriol and incite a Republican riot...

5. Gasp! What will the Freeps think when they see this headline???
Fuck 'em. I hope their pointy little heads explode.

Yes, I am ashamed to be an American. When bu$h's handlers decided they were going to let the Little King have his war on unarmed Iraq, we became no better than the Nazis we fought in World War II. When the first air strikes were launched in March of last year, the calendar reverted to September, 1939. The US became Nazi Germany and Iraq turned into Poland.

Now, a thousand corpses later, I'm supposed to support something that was wrong to begin with? Not a fucking chance. If this is America, you're damn right I hate it!

:cry:

8. The Govt.
I don't like this US Govt. or the CA Govt. I have traveled all over America and there are many great places and people. There are many things about America that I realy like. I dislike the people that have taken over America, some are public people and many are unknown behind the curtain.
