SpoiledAmericans

Need to be spanked, a lot of them live in a fantasy world anyway.

Oh, the terrorist woke us up,
when they came over and became corrupt.
The truth is,
we were all living in a fantasy world anyway,
and sooner or later we were going to pay.
All along I could see it coming,
even before the bombing.


One airplane, one ship, a dozen men or more,
blown up as the terrorist tried to even their score.
Then our government wouldn't hardly respond,
even after many more attacks upon.
Everywhere else in the world including Great Britain,
was taking a terrorist smitten.
Still America just sat back all arrogant,
and nonchalant,
9-11 surely opened our eyes good,
and now some Americans still refuse to knock on wood.


Crying about the government taking their rights,
like they were always free to go out at nights.
The truth is,  American's have too many rights,
too much of anything can blind peoples sights.


Lets see now,
Freedom of speech,
Our news media exercise this right too much,
and are at times out of touch,
about the damage their big mouths can cause.
Just before 9-11 I was watching the evening news,
these fools were showing all of our weak spots at our airports and how easy it would be to hijack our airplanes.
So the terrorist simply used this for their gains.
They were watching,
so about a year later they started attacking.
Get the story out at all cost,
no matter the affect or the lost.


Here in Baltimore,
We had this huge snow storm back some years or more.
The news media got on the air and told everyone that the storm was so bad that the police couldn't even scout their route.
So on this note every hoodlum came running out,
breaking windows and looting the stores.
It shouldn't take a genius to know this fact, you shouldn't publically annouce that the police can't get out to patrol. 


Freedom of speech,..... right!
what a frightening might,
in the wrong fools sight.


Now the media is at it again, putting all of the weaknesses of airport security out to the terrorist. This was on the evening news a couple of days ago. Live and in living color,
And sooner or later will cost you another dollar.


The government is being criticized big time,
for the new way they are fighting terrorist crime.

Quite a few spoiled Americans are complaining about losing some of their freedoms from the Patriot Act and the formation of the Department of Homeland Security. They don't realize that this freedom thing is a phony thing anyway. I tell you what, try not paying your taxes, or get in your car, don't buckle your seatbelt, then do a hundred miles an hour on the beltway. Better than that, try carrying a concealed weapon without a permit. You don't even have the right to kill yourself. They locked this doctor up for helping terminal people die. Come on now, get real with this freedom thing,
and its true ring.


What gets me is a lot of these black folks complaining about their freedoms being affected. The black man hasn't hardly been that free anyway. I remember when I was a child, I couldn't even eat in certain restaurants. A friend and I tried to go in the front door of this restaurant, we were stopped and told, "you have to go to the rear to be served." Then we had to ride on the back of the buses.


Come on now folks, this was only some years back. Now all of a sudden we are complaining about being protected from the terrorist. I'll be honest with you about my feelings. I would rather for the government to do what they have to do to stop these fools, than to end up being blown to hell because nothing was done.
Like in the past and 9-11,
when many souls were sent to hell or heaven.
Nothing from nothing,
leaves nothing.
but,
doing something,
might leave you something,
your life!


The truth about rights is, most of us spend so much time complaining, we don't take advantage of all our rights anyway. That's it, most people don't want to do anything but bitch and complain anyway.


There's no such thing as a perfect, freedom of rights society anyway. At times we all have to learn to give up something to simply enjoy certain other freedoms. Freedom to fly without being blown to pieces. Freedom to travel and unravel our enjoyments without being murdered by terrorist. Right now as I write this, in Isral and other parts of the world, just getting up and going out to a restaurant to eat is a worry on peoples minds. Blown to hell as you enjoy your food. What a way to go. On the otherhand we spoiled American's have the freedom and safety to get in our cars at this same time and go out to eat in almost perfect safety and piece of mind, which I'm getting ready to do.


But there's just one problem, here in Baltimore, you may get carjacked or shot while enjoying.  Lets see now, all of these crazy young boys have the right and privilege to work and buy their own cars. But they won't do it. They would rather take my car and my money. And guess what, I don't even have the right to shoot them without being prosecuted myself. A man in this area just shot a couple of young boys for trying to steal his vehicle, now he has to worry about being locked up. One of the boys was only 15 years old. He was suppose to be at home sleeping at 2 o'clock in the morning and obeying the curfew law but he wasn't. He was taking advantage of his freedom to roam and steal.


What a crazy deal.

You tell 'em, Grady! Excellent write. The religious fundamentalist terrorists use our freedoms to kill us. That removes all freedom. It's a b*tch, isn't it?
Best regards,

This is so damn true Grady!!
You are not allowed to protect yourself... then you commit the crime...the media shows you how to steal, rob, shoot,kill...what ever...then they turn around and play innocent...The only thing that REALLY has the ONLY so called "freedom of speech" is your ass...when it talks to the toiletbowl in private...POOOOOOOP...lol!!
But it is costing you money...just to flush it down the drain....as "BULLSHIT"

Have A nice day!!
