How Did We Come To This?

Why do so many Americans hate themselves?

Ward Churchill is the current poster child for this self-hatred.

When did it begin?

So many Americans place a heavy emphasis on pacifism in the face of relentless evil.

They would let others kill them so that they do not have to kill themselves. And as they die, it seems that they think only of dead Iraqi children. Not the ones that Saddam tortured and mutilated purposefully but the ones that Americans killed by accident. They see nothing good in their own culture or philosophy and want it to die.

Where is the self-esteem they were taught in public schools? What kind of mental illness is this?

Sometimes I think that it would be good for America to break up, for the central government to fall away and other more local governments to take up the banner. Then we the people could force out hatefilled university professors from educational institutions that do not serve the people anymore. We wouldn't have the national education association stealing money from across a continent and using its power against parents and children. We could take back the education of our children.

Without the burden of the elite class that lives like a parasite on the rest of us, we could have a new media. No more Dan Rathers.

We could leave the unbridled judges to preside over courts in other "countries" where their amoral philosophy was wanted and WE could have judges that had our best interests at heart.

But it wouldn't work. It is a pipe dream.

How did we ever come to this? Why do we have to put up with it now?
