I’m a Proud American - "The World of Wayne Green"

In the wake of 911, which galvanized our government into a flurry of new restrictions on our liberties, we've seen Old Glory waving from car antennas and proudly displayed in store windows, plus Proud To Be American signs everywhere. And all this fooferah, unfortunately, almost got me to thinking.

How proud am I to be an American?

Well, in WWII I volunteered to fight the war in a submarine, the most dangerous of all the services. I did my bit, as you can read in my book on my submarine experiences. And, having visited 146 countries so far, I can assure you that America is definitely the best place to live.

We have a lot to be proud of.

* I'm proud of my government and its myriad of departments and bureaus, few (if any) of which are devoted to making life easier for me.
* I'm proud of the FDA, which enforces the pharmaceutical industry's ability to make absolutely fantastic profits at our expense.
* I'm proud of our pharmaceutical industry for providing such cushy jobs for ex-FDA officials.
* I'm proud that my government allows me to travel to Canada where I can buy the same drugs at a fraction of American prices.
* I'm proud of our Department of Defense, which has so successfully defended us against attacks by Iraq, Afghanistan, Panama, Haiti, Somalia, Grenada and some group or groups in what was Yugoslavia. And the great job they did to help keep our oil prices down with the Gulf War.
* I'm also proud of them for keeping our military-industrial complex busy filling government warehouses with unneeded supplies, and building now obsolete aircraft carriers and their planes.
* I'm proud of whatever government agencies have been successful in protecting us from worrying about UFOs and ETs.
* I'm proud of HUD's enviable record of aiding businesses to fleece them out of billions.
* I'm especially proud of the Department of Education's record in keeping American children at the very bottom in all international surveys. And our Health Department's record of providing Americans with the most expensive and one of the least effective health care system in the developed world.
* I'm proud of IRS agents being able to successfully claim that they can convict and imprison anyone they choose.
* I'm proud of the federal income withholding tax which takes our money before we ever see it, thus allowing the tax to go from its initial 2% to around 50% today.
* I'm proud of the War on Drugs, which has generated incredible fortunes for drug lords and substantially helped increase American illegal drug use.
* I'm proud of the American food supply, which is so unhealthy that it's lopping off an estimated half of our potential lives.
* I'm proud of our water supply system, laced with fluorides to help keep us docile and kids with low IQs.
* I'm proud of our world supremacy in sports, which keeps most Americans entertained and thus unlikely to cause trouble by educating themselves.*
* I'm proud of our prison system, which we call "correctional," but is anything but. * I'm proud that we have more prisoners per capita than any other country, with we, the public, paying about $30,000 per year per inmate to support their keep.
* I'm proud of whatever government agency is spraying us with chem trails--no doubt for our own good.
* I'm proud of our Social Security system, which has supplied Congress with several trillion dollars to spend on pork projects.
* I'm proud that Congress has avoided emulating the Chilean social security system which would provide our elderly with five to ten times as large social security checks.
* I'm proud of our welfare system which has, at public expense, helped keep millions of proud Americans from having to work for a living.
* I'm proud of our rent controls which have destroyed large sectors of our cities.
* I'm proud of our mandatory vaccinations, which have created a growing throng of autistic children.
* I'm especially proud of our forcing parents to give their children Prozac, Zoloft, valium, Paxil, Ritalin, luvox, effexor, and other drugs, all with histories of causing mania.
* I'm particularly proud of our medical schools, which teach virtually nothing about disease prevention.
* I'm proud of our tobacco company officials who have the guts to swear to a congressional committee that their product is not addictive and causes no illnesses.
* I'm proud of NASA for being able to so successfully pull off the Moon landing hoax forty-three years ago.
* I'm also proud of NASA for being able to get Congress to spend billions on our space station, which has been of no practical value.

* I'm proud of FDR's ability to force the Japanese to attack us at Pearl Harbor, which was covered up for 60 years.
* I'm also proud of FDR's getting Amelia Earhart to go on a spy mission for the NAVY and the completely abandoning her when she fell into Japanese hands.
* I'm proud that our children are forced to go to school by law and our government's long history of making home-schooling so difficult.

* I'm proud of our judges, who have taken on the responsibility to decree laws which our legislatures have neglected to enact.
* I'm real proud of our supremes and their continual gutting of the Constitution.
* I'm proud of our having the best Congress money can buy--and the thousands of lobbyists who are so valiantly supporting them.
* I'm so proud of President Obama I could burst.
* I'm proud of our monopoly post office, which provides slow, expensive service and which would be quickly put out of business if it ever lost its government monopoly.
* I'm proud that our country no longer issues its own currency, but has given that power to a small group of banks which are owned by the same people who own our major newspapers and TV networks.
* I'm proud of our major media, whose main purpose is to entertain, not educate.
*I'm proud of our State Department, which continues to function despite endless exposes of its incompetence.

* I’m proud of whatever government group it was that engineered the 911 attack.
* I’m proud that our farmers, instead of remineralizing their land, use chemical fertilizer to get their crops to grow, and then have to spray them with poison to kill the insects attracted by the sick crops.
