Excuse me for not feeling patriotic
I haven't felt patriotic in quite some time.
If I had the money, I'd probably be living in Canada.
Excuse em for not feeling patriotic about a country that:
allows others to profit off the suffering of others (health care industrial complex, military industrial complex, prison industrial complex, etc.)
does not guarantee health care for everyone, regardless of ability to pay
does not provide a good K-12 education
does not guarantee full employment or make an attempt to have full employment
has a corrupt legislative branch (Congress)
is engaged in two wars that we won't win
racially profiles its own citizens (War on Drugs)
locks up more people than any other country in the world
has allowed itself to be corrupted by Big Business
does not treat everyone equally under the law
hardly gives a damn about its own citizens
That is all.
I am sure many of you can add more to the list but I am sure you get where I'm going with this.

and yet, if one IS a hard working American citizen, they can't get healthcare if they can't afford to pay for it. BUT, if one is here illegally, they can get healthcare, not pay a dime and return to their business, scot-free.
Then there are those of us under TRICARE, who get screwed by having less than apt practitioners. The decent ones won't accept medicare or TRICARE...... yeah, thanks a lot.

Maybe we can all pitch in and buy her a one way ticket to Venezuela or Cuba, whichever is her preference and then she can live in the socialist paradise of her dreams. Or just wait until the big 0 finishes taking over the private sector.

All the DUmmy's are deluded into believing that every other country in the world gives these benefits to their citizens at no cost.
They don't call them DUmmy's for nothing. They earn that title each and every day.
