Let us see some backing for this.
And when someone who has been hypnotized by western media praises America; they praise it's actions;
Who is hypnotized by propoganda here?
the murder of millions of civilians;
Where and when? In all the conflicts that you hinted to after WWII put together, it would be impossible for millions of civilians to have died. This is a BS statement.
the devastation of several democracies;
Which?
the subjugation of almost the entire western world by use of the United Nations;
That Russia had veto power in? First of all, I am completely AGAINST the United Nations, just wanted to make that clear. Second of all, who was forced into the United Nations? Third of all, the US has been bullied by the UN as much as any country.
the rapine of Third World countries;
Such as?
the charade and scam of free trade and global markets;
The government controlled system in communist and socialist countries is somehow better, right? Look at the standard of living of the average person and in each system and tell me that capitalist way is not better.
the sale of arms to nations violating terms of conflict which were written by American officials;
Please explain this...
the exploitation of every available Eastern country for cheap-labour;
The outsourcing of jobs is hurting Americans and HELPING eastern workings. The jobs being outsourced to Eastern countries has only increased their standard of living, while taking opportunity from Americans. I do not agree with the outsourcing of jobs BTW, but it is hardly an American thing. If you want to talk about exploiting labour, you must look not farther than the Soviet Union. Do not be a hypocrite here, the Soviet Union enslaved millions of people.
the constant war-mongering and staging of precipitated warfare through the Near East;
Again, such a statement is useless if not backed up. Also, do not be a hypocrite, look at the expansion of the Soviet Union. Look at how many countries they subjogated and controlled. How many governments they destroyed so that they could gain power.
the betrayal of former allies such as Saddam Hussein's Iraq;
Saddam Hussein is a terrorist who did not keep his word, and was an ally because of a very unwise policy that the United States turned out to regret. When we find out that our allies are maniacal dictators harbouring terrorist, we tend not to view them favorably.
the fixing of foreign political 'democratic' elections in countries such as Australia;
lmao, that is a claim that I have not heard before. Do you have even the smallest shred of evidence to support such a wild claim?
the increasingly tight control of the global "free-speaking" media network and the puppeteering of journalism;
Like the Soviet Union, right? The had such free speaking and thinking? Maybe you should read up on your history and stop visiting communist websites. There was no such thing as free speech in the Soviet Union, Americans invented free speech.
and countless further horrors, including those we have yet to discover.
Where do you get your sources from? Pravda?
Praising these actions is a direct insult to WORLD PEACE, FREEDOM AND ALL THAT OTHER GARBAGE THEY LIKE TO RABBLE ON ABOUT.
So you admit that you think the concepts of world peace and freedom are garbage.
How do you think people from the following countries would feel if YOU praised AMERICA?
East Timor
Cuba
Iraq
Iran
Palestine
India
Burma
Bosnia
Sudan
Somalia
Kuwait
Vietnam
Haiti
The South American Continent.
Cuba? They have been under one of the most oppressive communist regimes in modern history. There is complete censorship and the only way they have to learn anything is through government controlled media and school. They will think whatever their government tells them too.
Iraq? You mean like the Iraqis who have died fighting beside American troops to help liberate their country? Like the women and the children who line up in the streets to cheer the Americans on? That is what every soldier I know who has been there has told me. Of course there are people who dislike the US, but most of them support the US and believe in the ideals of freedom.
Bosnia? WTH reason do Bosnians have to dislike the US? Serbs I can see, but Bosnians?
Vietnam? You mean the Vietnamese who have been bombarded by government propaganda since they were born? The only gripe South Vietnamese can have with us is that we caved in to liberal hippie BS and did not finish our job and garuntee them protection. Again though, it was the left train of thought that prevailed there, not the rightwing train of thought.
SouthAmerica? What crimes against humanity did the US commit in South America?
Especially if their ENTIRE FAMILY was destroyed by a carpet bombing?
I know people like to think they have Free Speech, the Land of the Free, and they like to waffle on about their glorious Freedom Fighters, out there fighting against Freedom.
But for god's sake - should they really be allowed to bring their nonsensical delusions into the Frontroom?
Whose truth is more recent, horrifying and unacceptable - the U.S.S.R's? Great Germany's? America's?
