Nation of Bullies

NO SOONER SAID THAT DONE. Guess what? It looks like the kid who shot up his school in Nevada yesterday was....you guessed it...bullied.(see yesterday's Truthless Reconciler)...every mass murder in our american mass murder smorgasbord is perpetrated by a victim of bullying, either in the child or the adult world. OH, how we love to bully each other in the land of the perfectly free to do so! Our Russian and Chinese friends, among others, must by now be thinking: they shut down their own government every few weeks, and every few weeks somebody walks around killing people with an automatic weapon. What other interesting customs do they have in America? Trust me, you don't wanna know. We'll save the wave, furby, and the kardashians for another happy day in the american fun house. We the American people are a culture of bullies, so why should we expect our children to be any different? Our comedy is based usually on putting somebody down. Disagree with an American at your own risk. American foreign policy is a bully. Our elected leaders are largely bullies. Drive down an American road, going the speed limit, and there it is! Another aggressive bullying American, usually a pretty housewife in a huge SUV, whose front bumper is within five feet of your rear. The average american citizen is a bully, and watch out particularly for conservatives, christians, and gun lovers, which are the same people. Jesus, guns, and cat least ninety percent of american men are. American women are so strong, empowered, and ready to rule that the rest of the world had better pray they never see combat overseas. They will, though, even now the United States Marine Corps is training women for combat duty, seriously. We are an equal opportunity gender-blind bully nation, and we the United States make the roman empire and Napoleon Bonaparte look meek and mild. Everybody fron Alexander the Great, to Napoleon, to the Russian empire got their butts kicked trying to conquer Afghanistan. America? No problem! Are you having a civil war in your country and using weapons of which we disapprove? We'll bomb you! Who knows, as soon as the U.N. gets through destroying chemical weapons in Syria, maybe they'll scoot right over here and do the same for the United States, with John Boehner and Ted Cruz smiling and singing "kumbaya". Don't hold your breath; unless, that is, the United States decides to give its own chemical stockpile a try. Then,hold your breath! Make no mistake, this could happen at any time. WE americans use our weapons. (see Hiroshima, 1945). We Americans may be fat, greedy, self abosrbed, and rude, but give credit where credit is due; we know how to kill. Destroying the American chemical and nuclear arsenal would take longer than driving from St. Petersburg to Moscow, and that's goin' some. During the cold war american school children did drills in whcih they hid beneath their wooden desks. I did this, wondering how well it would work in the event of a Russian nuclear attack. Maybe we should start drills in which shool children reach beneath their desks, and adorn themsleves with bullet proof vests while the teacher holds a stop watch. That still wouldn't stop the Russians, but it might stop an unhinged victim of bullying.
