Irate Sam

This is satire, not ideology. There is a lot of anger in the United States generated by people left out of what they think the good life is for them. Fueled by fear and helplessness, these people flock to prosperity churches and look for business and political solutions to their despair. And then, there are those who feed on this fear and anger, largely for personal profit. The greatness of the United States of America is in our generosity, kind behavior toward others, and our willingness to save the earth from any threat that is imposed, within or without. When we stop doing that for personal, selfish reasons, we fall short of what we can and should be.

Irate Sam


My name is Uncle Sam.
Irate I am… I really am.
You want to make me great again?

Make my military next to none.
Put up walls to stop the Hun.
Have no empathy,
for the poor and weak.
They can go to hell,
with their own kind.
Equality? Go hug a geek.

Must remain white and pure,
Jesus's God is on our side.
Other religions are false,
Filled with egotistic pride.

Our country is so rich and great,
can rule the world easily,
just by being obnoxious and irate.

Money is our power.
What we can earn in the next hour,
is our shining heavenly tower.

The world is our playground,
Run roughshod over rules,
Know cooperation is for fools.

Damn right, I'm irate!
Arrogant, conceited, narcissistic, bigoted, too.
I don't negotiate, I deal.
I play with a rigged roulette wheel.

Machiavelli, Spencer and Ayn Rand,
are sources worth their salt.
Government granted scientific studies,
are to blame; it's all their fault.

Reporters chase a pack of lies,
fill heads with foolish fake reports.
Savvy to their staged views,
conspiracies galore for our news.

Damn right, I'm irate. I am Uncle Sam.
And I'm fighting hard to,
make America great again.

Because richer was better. Right?
Look at me and what I am.
Epitome of Uncle Sam.
Ugly American abroad in the land.
Pry the gun from my cold, dead hand.

THIS SATIRICAL SHARING IS SO TRUE...IT'S FRIGHTENING! ONE FORGETS TO LAUGH AND YOU ALMOST WANT TO CRY BECAUSE AMERICA HAS 'NEVER' BEEN SO HIDDEN AND DISGUISED BY THE MANEUVERINGS OF A TAINTED LEADER AS IT IS NOW. IT REALLY IS UNBELIEVABLE AND 'IF' I DIDN'T KNOW, THAT I KNOW...'GOD IS STILL IN CHARGE', I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT I'D DO. AMEN! FINE WORK, RON, THAT GOES INTO MY VAULT. THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

Your words gave me the chills. The voice sounds familiar--like the voice of our President. This is what our great country has come to in the end.

There are so many fake news everywhere and it is very disappointing. They only want ratings, tell people what they want to hear, but not the real news.

I love this poem. You give me hope for our country and the world by recognizing the weakness that seems to control our land today. Bravo!

Right you are! And, not in the "right wing" sense either.

Sadly, Ron, this is all too true for a large portion of our
country ... irate, we are and ingrate, too.
