Why Does America...

[Chirios]

Think it's less powerful than it actually is? There are legitimate domestic and foreign issues of course but American media constantly seems to be harping that the end days are coming and that your country is going to explode and it's like: no, no, it really isn't.

Because the Military Industrialization Complex needs a reason to exist, especially since it's now pretty much America's only real manufacturing base. We need THE ENEMY to feed the machine. That was all well and good when we had the Reds to worry about but once the wall fell and the Union collapsed they needed a new enemy STAT. In comes Saddam Hussein who on paper looks like he could pose a real problem to the US militarily. Even after raping him into next week in '91 we still had him, and then Serbia, but finally 9/11 came along and we could really feed the beast. As that crisis is slowly petering out (see monkeys with guns for Allah) Democrats are finally climbing out of their hidey holes to ask why the fuck we spend more on national defense than every other country combined.

So basically, even the smallest threats (retards who burn their dicks off on airplanes) are turned into super soldiers for Allah in order scare the shitfuck out of the average American in order to keep those in office who demand that we keep feeding the beast.

The dreaded "underwear bomber" whose act of terrorism resulted in him getting 3rd degree burns on his dick.

But like a month later some fucktard flew a plane into a Federal Building killing himself and a decorated war vet yet received barely any news coverage in comparison.

What a prize-winning fool.

Wasn't that the guy who crashed his plane into a IRS building in the Midwest?

No, dear, that was in Texas - I think you've managed to offend both the Midwest and the Lonestar state with that one!

But mister airplane-into-IRS-office was an American. For some reason the homegrown assholes don't seem to count as terrorists to the media.

It was just this past February when a certain Joseph Stack, a disgruntled tax evader, took things too far and decided to take out his rage on a building full of people and murdered Vernon Hunter, father of 6 (whose wife, Valerie, was also in the same building at the time).

Don't forget the fact that far from being called a Terrorist, the man was Lionized by the far right for weeks.
There were several jokes along the lines of "If Taxes where Lower, maybe this wouldn't happen" and "Well when it comes to the IRS I can sympathies with what he did, har har!"

No offense was meant.

If he wasn't a repeat offender attempting to get out of paying his taxes for 10 years I can understand that sentiment. But considering that he was a tax evader no longer able to get away with it anymore I don't think he deserved any sympathy.

But mister airplane-into-IRS-office was an American not a Muslim. For some reason the homegrown assholes, who are not Muslims, don't seem to count as terrorists to the media.

I corrected that for you, Broomstick.

Yeah, look at all of the stories at the time and check out many of the comments posted by the chuckleheads supporting that clown.

He's a terrorist as far as I'm concerned, but any reasonable definition of the word.
