Yeah, because forefathers do such a good job of making the world a better place. Its a universal principle, want something beaten, broken and generally busted up, put a man in charge of it.

eg:
Your Dad: "Come on son, lets get some guns and go blow holes in things!
Your Mum: "Put that damn gun away before someone loses an eye!

Originally posted by pkcRAISTLIN I don’t hate america. Indeed, half of my favourite popular culture originates in the good ol US of A. but I am not a fan of people (read: americans) saying things like "oh, ours was the first democracy ever" when it wasn't, and even had it been, it was merely the culmination of democratic influence that had been around for at least 500 years before US independence. I hate the way the US has hijacked the real meanings of liberalism or conservatism. I hate that the US seems so happy to tell others what to do when half the bloody country couldn’t even find the middle east on a map. I get sick and tired of hearing about how fucking wonderful the country is (our forefathers said this! Oooh, we invented democracy! we have the biggest bombs ever!) when its quite often the poster child for everything that's wrong with the western world. I hate the level of ignorance that goes hand in hand with arrogance from so many of its citizens (read some of the retarded responses in this thread, or the gun thread). I hate the fact that so many americans have their heads so far up their fucking arses that any criticism of their holy democratic infrastructure is considered heresy, and a lone (often misguided) reference to the infallible forefathers is considered a good enough response by today's TA massive.

+1...support from an american.
