Why make this person out to be a liberal unless you have a need to demonize a specific perspective? Are the KKK ultra-conservative or just a bunch idiotic psycho's?
The reality is we are a nation of hypocrites who say one thing and do another. The only 'value' in our society is money, plain and simple. To accuse one generation of that is to delude oneself.
In this country, if you are in need, you are on your own most of the time. If the camera's are on and we are told we are supposed to care then you are in luck. But ultimately, you will be left to fend for yourself when the camera's go away and your issue is no longer the issue of the moment.
Just ask the NYC firefighters who are suffering from the airborne debris they inhaled as a result of their heroism during the aftermath of 911. The survivors of this situation today cannot get medical coverage and the government denies them help due to technicalities. When advocacy organizations (usually staffed by their own family members) hold fund raisers for these people, no one shows up to donate. Our humanitarian aid tends to be based on whether we can get something out of our efforts, not some basic need to help others because we are all part of a common human family. That notion is just wimpy, liberal BS anyway.
Our great social drives at morality, like pro-life are all baloney. If we could find a way to extract oil from unborn human fetuses the pro-life movement would go away overnight. If every gay marriage would subsidize everyones bank account with a few thousand dollars the "moral" objections to this type of union would go away immediately as well.
Bottom line: We only care when it benefits us and doesn't cost us any money. We are a nation of tree hugging/church-going nihilistic hypocrites.
Have a nice day......... and watch your back.
I feel sorry for you. It must be lonely and disheartening to view human nature and our country in this manner.
