It’s Ok to Hate Muslims and Gays Now? Which Minority Group is Next?

     Ah, the good old days.  Remember back when black people had their own drinking fountains?  Or hell, let’s go back a bit further… when we owned them?  And the notion of a woman talking back- much less voting-  was just ridiculous?  When all of these filthy minorities knew their place?  And if they didn’t, why, we knew just what to do, didn’t we?  We put on our trusty white hoods and robes and we burned them!  And, if all else failed, we just dropped a couple of nukes on them!

     Is this the America we live in now?  It’s sure starting to seem like it.  We are forsaking the very principles this nation was founded upon, and why?  Out of fear!  Blindly following the pied piper down a road of deceit and hatred as we fear phantom attacks from an enemy who has no real need to do so!  Ah, hell, there I go again.  Being unpatriotic, questioning… actually, it doesn’t matter what I question.  I’m wrong.  Orwell got it right, folks.  He just missed by a few years.

     We really don’t like Muslims much any more.  They fly airplanes into American buildings and shoot up military bases.  Granted, not all of them do it.  In fact, the percentage of Catholic murderers is exponentially higher.  But they’re not… Them.  In fact, we don’t just hate the Muslims.  We hate them if they look Muslim.  Or have a Muslim sounding name.  Better search one every time we see one!  He might have a bomb!  Racial profiling?  Sign us up!

      In fact, they have no rights.  We’re trying the bloody terrorists in New York.  They get a trial!  Imagine!  How dare we, a nation of principle (once upon a time), stick to our guns and demonstrate to the world that we are a nation of truth and integrity?  Why are we letting it get out that we practice what we preach?  That’s not how you spread democracy!  You spread it with pure, brute force!  These people don’t know what’s best for them… that’s our job! 

     And while we’re at it, let’s hate homos, too.  Not too long ago, Good morning America would at least have had the decency to lie to us.  Now?  They just come out and say that he was turned away because his performance was far too gay. 

     We need to wake up, and soon.  We as a society are starting to believe our own hype, and it’s 20 year old hype.  We have grown so utterly arrogant, and confident in that arrogance, that we feel like we can now openly hate.  This is the point, through history, when nations begin to crumble.  Always from within.  Google the phrase melting pot.  It’s what this great country of ours is supposed to be.  But now we pick out the vegetables we don’t like?  Which vegetable is next?  We’re not too keen on all of the Mexicans coming across the border.  Do we take them out next?  And what happens when all of the minorities and gays are on the list?  Who will we move on to then?

     Come to your senses.  If we stopped living in that fear, and left the brute force and arrogance behind,  maybe we wouldn’t need to be scared.  And we could pull our heads out of our collective asses and stop hating.  They’re not coming back.  Why would they need to?  It looks like they’ve started enough of a mess already… one we not only haven’t cleaned up, but have just made worse.  The American Dynasty;  crumbling beneath the weight of its own ego.
