I've been reading some news lately and it seems, as usual, conservative media is hounding John Kerry and making something out of nothing.
As most of you might know, John Kerry has said, lately:
Oh no, John Kerry is a traitor to America! /sarcasm
Too bad, all that he's said is true:
When we walk away from global warming, Kyoto, when we are irresponsibly slow in moving toward AIDS in Africa, when we dont advance and live up to our own rhetoric and standards, we set a terrible message of duplicity and hypocrisy,
Damn right. If America is so great why can't we do some simple things, like signing the damn Kyoto protocol, which what, every other western country has signed?
And why can't we send more foreign aid to countries in need? (note, this doesn't mean we should invade them and take their oil)
Americans often think they have the moral highground when it's all full of crap, and full of hipocrisy.
So we have a crisis of confidence in the Middle East in the world, really. Ive never seen our country as isolated, as much as a sort of international pariah for a number of reasons as it is today.
America had a ~decent~ reputation, but Bush ruined it. Kerry is right - the world hates us, it's true.
Kerry criticized what he called the unfortunate habit of Americans to see the world exclusively through an American lens.
This is the comment that got the most flak but it's the most true. The main problem with America is that they see America like it's the only damn country in the world, and everyone else around them is just some barbarian uncivilized land (that we can't point out on a map, even).
Why is there so much outrage over this stuff?
These facts are some of the reasons I'm ASHAMED of my own damn country, every time I go on vacation in a foreign nation I'm forced to say I am from Canada.
What happened to America? It can't even look and accept criticism - they call Kerry out as a traitor and a treasonous rat or something - I guess some people CAN'T handle the truth.
