Tell me it's not hypocrisy
The US preaches freedom of speech, democracy, humans rights etc etc to the world especially what they classify as "failed states". It happened to the extreme that one Middle Eastern country was invaded to "save" the people who weren't living under a deomcracy.

But back home, many Americans don't care for human rights issues at all. They get all riled up over the sexual orientation of people and what should be the definition of a legal marriage.

Please tell me it's not hypocrisy.

2. It's lack of moral fiber
A people so ignorant, hate-filled and arrogant cannot act in any logical, rational or ethical fashion.

5. You left out so lacking in authentic self-concept that they are THREATENED by EVERYTHING, i.e.
they do not have the genuine strength that makes diversity an asset.

Intolerance is Proof Positive of WEAKNESS.

6. While that may be true--they can't even get that deeply into it.
