@edgarblythe,
Quote:
Liberals were liberators they fought slavery ...


How many people, "liberals", actually fought against slavery? A tiny number, mostly Quakers. Americans didn't give a **** about slavery until they needed it as a cudgel to smite the South, they used it as a propaganda tool to grab the moral high ground, something that USians are really good at, when it's convenient.

"Oh the "principled", "moralistic" prudish puritanical perverts called Americans, always showing up late for change...always jumping on the bandwagon, when the train has already passed..."
-- Layla Anwar

After "emancipation", US liberals left the emancipated in as bad or worse situation than before. For how long? Almost a century, a 100 years. Layla knows y'all better than you know yourselves.

Does the USA fight the big boys to spread liberty and freedom. Nyet, never, not at all. They use and abuse the poor of the world in a shameful pretext that they are "spreading freedom" - and who spreads their propaganda for them - American liberals!

@JTT,
Are you the poor of the world?....with a laptop and all? Maybe you should ask yourself in what sweat shop did some child struggle to provide you with the shirt you're wearing , or your sneakers (tennis shoes), or even the vegetables you consume. You're a hypocrite. Catherine Tate's Nan character says..."you f'ing libertine".

@Germlat,
Vomiting Perfidy.
Since yesterday I have been vomiting my insides out...

My first bout of vomit came after I read a transcript of your President's speech, his speech to the "nation". Because you consider yourselves a nation ?!

It started off with an uneasiness felt in the pit of my stomach, then quickly transformed itself into a queasiness, then into a foul nausea, only to erupt like a dammed out volcano into violent throes of pure vomit...

I have over the past 20 years or so, developed a high intolerance to perfidy and you throughout your history have excelled in perfecting what I am most allergic to...

You literally make me sick.

Change - you clamored like a herd of sheep, while munching, ruminating like cattle every word that is fed to you...Black and White, even those retards who call themselves American Arabs and Muslims rejoiced at Uncle Tom's arrival to the White House.

Oh the "principled", "moralistic" prudish puritanical perverts called Americans, always showing up late for change...always jumping on the bandwagon, when the train has already passed...

The peace loving war mongers of the new world order is what you are. Fake and ignorant to the bone.

So you pride yourselves on being "a good people", a "compassionate" "sharing caring hugging" people -- nothing but Perfidy.

For 20 years, I witnessed my country, the land of my father, my mother, my ancestors, disintegrate before my very eyes...20 ******* years. 20 ******* years.

Twenty years of people -- first withering, wilting away, like flowers never allowed to see the light, never allowed to turn their faces to the sun, then from fading into shadows, faltering into a colorless background...bombed, massacred, slaughtered into a nothingness...the same nothingness that inhabits you daily...the same nothingness that makes you rush to your shrink, the same nothingness that you feed with your junk, the same nothingness that you fill with your consumer products...the same nothingness of your void, of the pit, the deep pit that you all live in, and I throw up some more, from the pits of my belly....

So you "sacrificed" for us, so you liberated us from "tyranny", so you "lived up to your responsibilities" --- like you did in Falluja, Haditha, Mahmoudiya, Baghdad, Basra, Mosul, Ramadi...¨"kill the motherfuckers" you shouted...and your wives masturbated to your love letters, or shed a few tears while waving that infamous flag...the flag of a degenerate, decaying country that has offered nothing but murder, carnage and mayhem...

You liberated us from "dictatorship" with 5 times the size of a Hiroshima and a Nagasaki...you liberated us until there was no space left in our morgues, and 7 and half years later, we still search for the dead...you liberated us until our streets turned into pools of blood, and mosques became torture dungeons where those hajjis were having their eyes plucked out and their flesh drilled, you liberated us so we can be abducted, raped and murdered for a 1000$ or for wearing lipstick...you liberated us so our bodies can float on the Tigris and Euphrates, mutilated unrecognizable...you liberated us alright...stuffing us in prisons cells, covering us with your piss and excrements, or handing us to your mercenaries and your pimps and whores in turbans, while you fucked the prostitutes specially brought to you in your Green Fortress... and while the rest of us lived in walled ghettos that you constructed for us...

You liberated us alright...and you lived up to your principles, your ideals and your responsibilities...

But I do grant you one thing, you computerized, digitalized death for us...you see, thanks to you our morgue is now equipped with the latest technology, so 7 years down the line, we can finally go and find the corpse of a loved one, maybe. We even got numbers, serial numbers, you are serial killers and we get serial numbers...

We carry numbers wherever we go, number on our passports, on our ID cards, on our prison bracelets, and even on our dead bodies...the numbers follow us to the cemeteries, we got plenty of them today...all this reconstruction money, we built cemeteries with...well not quite, you stole the money...billions of dollars, so we turned gardens and parks into graveyards...our children play there, amidst the wailing of mothers in perpetual grief...

You are indeed a brave people...a noble, brave people. See, all what you've done for us! Your generosity will be recorded in history annals...and you will be used as a historical example, a model of a country and a people of great integrity -- just like the New Iraq model.

Those of us who could not handle this overflowing compassion from you (as your stinking alternative press likes us to believe - Americans are compassionate people), flew away...escaped the milk of human kindness, carrying a few documents and memories, wounds and scars stacked in suitcases...with no destination...

A permanent exile has become our abode...a new geographical location not found on any map...carrying our selves like some overburdening, heavy bundle, struggling to make ends meet, struggling to survive, struggling not to become insane, struggling not be engulfed by that nothingness of yours...

Scratching humanity with our nails...trying to find it, digging with our bare hands, sometimes wishing that we were buried there, alongside our loved ones...sometimes wishing we were never born, sometimes crying in our solitude, sometimes screaming in our nightmares, sometimes numbing ourselves so we can match your nothingness...

Most of the time, confused, lost and bewildered...still unable to grasp what has befallen us, in the name of Freedom...other times engrossed with story after story of endless suffering and misery inflicted by you...with stories of relatives and friends lost in dungeons of Democracy, with stories of monsters being born in the land of Freedom, with stories of disease and illnesses nesting into our DNA and becoming part of our make up, of our being...infiltrating the very essence of us, of our soil, our air, our water...

Story after story...image after image -- wheelchairs, amputations, limbs lost, eyes lost, fingers lost, a child dying, a woman raped and killed, a man tortured to death...story after story of -- poverty, disease, need, neglect, abandonment...story after story of an eternal fatigue that has settled upon us like a blanket...

I watch in my head, in my imagination, in my memory, the river Tigris flowing on a summer eve right at sunset...when the air is cooler (and when there was electricity and drinking water), I watch the river flow, calmly, silently, peacefully...nothing obstructs it, it just flows and I close my eyes and imagine myself flowing with it, in it...to an unknown destination...only in these moments do I find real tranquility...during those seconds, when I am transported there, by that river where everything grew and took shape...from the dawn of Time...

I go back in time thousands of years, when you were non existent, when you had no name, no shape and no color...and I find myself...I find myself and I find Iraq.

This is the only consolation I can give to myself - that even in the buckets of vomit wrought out from my guts, I can still find Her and me.

But you can't.

@JTT,
JTT: Sorry about your nausea. You do realize that America has always been a nation? Perhaps with a different name. Indigenous tribes count. Their spirit and physical presence is alive. Their art timeless. Sorry I make you sick. If you truly knew me, you would bother to have known my principles , rather than judge me according to my current country of residence.

I have never been into the hype...if you knew me , you would know that. I'm not puritanical, but I'm compassionate and aware of the great many needs that exist
In this world. I'm not above embracing a new discovery or truth. You are fixed and rigid as an old tree. Your limbs will snap, while mine will bend.

You carry your tattooed numbers wherever you go, and so do my people. We are no victims though ! We carry our legacy and press forward with courage, and persevere no matter were we go. We are triumphant! I find the Middle East beautiful.. Full of knowledge , and beauty to deliver to the world.

Don't be arrogant in your endeavors. Find beauty in every sky, and amongst all people. It is there, and always has been.

That's easy for you to say, Germy, after you have been brought under the protective wing of the rogue nation USA.

Not so easy for the people of Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, the Philippines, ... .

I'm still at a loss to understand why you make excuses for the country and the people who are the equals of the Nazis.

Did your troubles teach you so little? What of compassion for the people who are going thru/ have gone thru what you have, at the hands of the USA?

It's a personal statement JTT. People don't come in bunches like grapes. There were many people who helped the Jewish people in Nazi Germany.

I wish I could say that is true but more than two centuries of continued genocidal actions illustrate that you are badly mistaken.

And you besmirch that legacy by providing support for the USA war criminals/crimes.

No, I don't hate any of them, Germy - you sure learned the propaganda spiels quickly.

I hate how the USA has lied its ass off right from the beginning, how the founding fathers were nothing more than terrorists.

I hate how the USA has taken people like you, people who should have compassion, and turned them into shills spewing USA propaganda far and wide.

Mostly I hate how the USA has slaughtered tens of millions and stolen untold wealth that caused children to starve and not grow into their potential.

It bugs me somewhat that you and so many of your fellow beings are so comfortable with all that.

@anonymously99,
You cannot change what you refuse to confront.

Sometimes you need to distance yourself to see things clearly.

No matter how many mistakes you make or how slow you progress, you are still way ahead of everyone who isn’t trying.

If a person wants to be a part of your life, they will make an obvious effort to do so.  Think twice before reserving a space in your heart for people who do not make an effort to stay.

Saying someone is ugly doesn’t make you any prettier.

The only normal people you know are the ones you don’t know very well.

Life is 10% of what happens to you and 90% of how you react to it.

It’s better to be alone than to be in bad company.

Giving up doesn’t always mean you’re weak, sometimes it means you are strong enough and smart enough to let go and move on.

If you really want to do something, you’ll find a way. If you don’t, you’ll find an excuse.

Don’t choose the one who is beautiful to the world; choose the one who makes your world beautiful.

Falling in love is not a choice.  To stay in love is. It is possible to fall out of love unintentionally.

True love isn’t about being inseparable; it’s about two people being true to each other even when they are separated.

While you’re busy looking for the perfect person, you’ll probably miss the imperfect person who could make you perfectly happy.

Never do something permanently foolish just because you are temporarily upset.

The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one’s real and one’s declared aims, one turns, as it were, instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish squirting out ink.
