How do we Deal with the Patriotic,the Uninformed of History and the Clueless, but well meaning

[KoKo]

Hypocrisy!...How do we Deal with the

Patriotic,the Uninformed of History and the Clueless, but INNOCENT?

I see Patriotism evrywhere....it's in our Churches, Schools and in our Government. But, I feel there's something that's wrong there...with equating Patriotism to a CAUSE...by whatever Big Money is pushing the cause as opposed to TRUE PATRIOTISM...defending our Legal System/Constitution and Bill of Right!

Are there TRULY: TWO AMERICAS? (did John Edwards get the MESSAGE CORRECT...but the "Messenger" was so corrupted ..at the end...that the MESSAGE was LOST?

Song: Proud To Be An American

If tomorrow all the things were gone,
I’d worked for all my life.
And I had to start again,
with just my children and my wife.

I’d thank my lucky stars,
to be livin here today.
‘ Cause the flag still stands for freedom,
and they can’t take that away.

And I’m proud to be an American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘ Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.

From the lakes of Minnesota,
to the hills of Tennessee.
Across the plains of Texas,
From sea to shining sea.

From Detroit down to Houston,
and New York to L.A.
Well there's pride in every American heart,
and its time we stand and say.

That I’m proud to be an American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘ Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.

And I’m proud to be and American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘ Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.

1. No different for hundreds of years.. send the young off to die

Send the young off to die in wars of Conquest. Convince people to wave the flag and hold the bible over their heart.. while they send in the young to do the dirty work of the 1% and corporations.

"Be the first one on your block.. to send your boy home in a box".

ALL WARS are for profit. Blow shit up and destroy things.. so the Corporations can re-build at a profit.

Wash-Rinse-Repeat.

WW-I.. WW-II.... Korea... Viet Nam.. Gulf War I, and now the Obama/Panetta Wars in Syria, Lybia, Yeman, Somalia and Pakistan.

Things never change.

4. I know what you say...but, HOW do WE END IT? Maybe we can't end it but CURB IT...

so it doesn't eat us all alive for our kids, grand kids and future generations.

WHEN and HOW do we Stop IT?

2. most patriotism is as fake as most christians are

they'll holler about how much they support the troops but ask them - just ASK them what they actually DO for the troops - usually, it's nothing more than sporting a MADE IN CHINA magnet on their vehicle

3. You got it Skittles...there's such skepticism and disillusionment with the country we grew up in

and what we were taught was our Government Governed by Laws "For the People" that hasn't really worked out for most of us.

We are at a Crossroads.

How do we get what we were taught to jive with the Reality of Life in America these days?

EVERYONE IS SCRAMBLING...except.. Wall Street..........

HOW do we deal with this Terrible Imbalance in our Society?

[Skittles]

5. I fear we are being crushed by the weight of sheer ignorance

there is no excuse for so many people falling for such crap propaganda from conservatives - it is SICKENING - you and I just may meet in a re-education camp sometime in the future, KoKo
