Magical Words of Brain Punching
I'm having a hard time generating rage or even disappointment in the stupidity and myopia of my government. I've come to expect them to lie and spin and spout nonsense. I'm sure they could find a way to do a worse job, I know they haven't hit rock bottom, but as my pappy once said "They've failed to meet the low expectations they set for themselves." I am disappointed that they've set such a low standard as to kill any desire in me to pay attention to the news. When I see someone I recognize as being a mouthpiece for the White House I immediately tense as I'm expecting words that will cause me physical pain. If I had a camera I could provide photographic evidence of the horrific, physical symptoms these words bring on.
But seeing as I don't...I'll just tell you that it makes me bleed like someone stricken by ebola. Then I burst into flames as my body attempts to purge itself of the apocalyptic sludge clinging to it inside and out. Feeding myself head-first into a woodchipper is the physical equivalent of what their politically correct and factually deficient words do to my brain. My poor, poor brain begs them to be the transparent, honest government that was promised in 2008.
See? No rage! Just bleeding from every hole and screaming "Your words are lodged in my brain like shards of superheated glass!" That's despair. There's nothing funny about despair.
Meanwhile, Obama tours Asia. He's sad that we nuked them. Which if you know much about WWII means he's sad more Americans and Japanese didn't die in vicious, toe-to-toe fighting. Ooooooh - I think I feel some rage sparking. Why does our dear leader need to visit foreign countries to apologize for how much we suck? Can't those countries either a) use their long standing opinion of us sucking or b) just watch our news where they'll be bombarded with a) proof that we suck or b) manufactured proof that we suck? I'm not one to run around telling people about all the ways I suck because that'd be dishonest. I'm flawed but those flaws are only a small part of who I am. I feel like it's the same with America. We've got our problems but we've got a lot of strengths to offer to the world.
But don't tell our dithering, self-loathing leader that. I thought that only Jews stereotypically hated themselves? Wait, wait - upperclass leftists. I forgot about them. They love to wallow in self-hatred. The roll around in the money and success that makes them feel so guilty and then they do everything in their power to redistribute OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY. And somehow they feel less like shitty people when they give away other people's money. Somehow they think they're saving the world by screwing the middle class and making the lower class dependent on handout. It's certainly not hypocritical and stupid.
Nope - still not angry. I'm just disgusted. The survival of socialist ideas and ideals is proof that intelligent people can believe in and act upon dumb ideas. It shouldn't surprise me, we're all human and prone to folly, but trying to get a failing idea to work by trying it again and again and again is only commitment to failure or insanity.
Let's socialize America - maybe when it fails miserably here people will finally stop believing in this crappy idea.

Maybe he's setting an example for the Japanese so they can apologize for raping Korea for the first half of the century.
I don't really see the point in him running around the world his first year in office apologizing for how evil America is... Yeah, we're far from perfect. So is everyone else. But hating on his own country more than is necessary isn't going to make others think better of us.
It's the wave of the future, man.
I don't think he's calling America bad folks but I do think, 60 years on, we can all be sad at the loss of life the bombs caused. It's always sad when people die in war, especially with nuclear devices. Don't get mad at me tho, I'm your "lefto-pinko-commie" guy.
Whenever I think about the bombs I do get sad that people had to die that way. It's always a tragedy. But all analysis shows that it was the right move. Had we continued to fight island to island the war would've lasted much longer and millions more would have died. So in the end the bombs did help but it's also ok to be saddened by them. I think that's what the President's expressing sadness was about. Any loss of life is a sad thing, that's all. Don't read too much into it is the advice I would give.
@anewbys - I find Obama's approach to politics annoying but I completely agree with you that death, war or not, is sad and regretable. I'm hopeful that nuclear weapons will never be used again but humans have a bad habit of doing stupid and mean things to each other.
