I came across a blog of a journalist - I will not call him names, I will not debate his positions - it's already been said. What I will do is use him to define a subset of American Culture, the American Parasite.

The American Parasite lives off the wealth and prosperity created by the work ethic of it's host. So easy has life been for the American Parasite, he comes to resent the host, guided by a misconception that sustenance so easily achieved must be the product of greed and scams, when in truth, it was a path prepared by the American Producer consisting of generations of those who toiled relentlessly. Sweat, blood and faith turned our savannas to farms, our ore to skyscrapers, and vanquished and rebuilt our enemies.

The American Parasite hates America, it's power and it's influence, the very things that have made life so easy for it. The only way for the American Parasite to resolve the guilt of being the beneficiary of that which it has not earned, is to project it's self loathing upon the nation state protecting ability of producers to sustain the benifit.

The American Parasite enjoys the protection and comfort of our country while criticizing the daily individual and independent effort of millions of citizens that provide and sustain it. The fatal flaw of the American Parasite is believing our nation's prosperity is being controlled and owned by few when it in fact belongs to many. This is the big secret. Our country works because the wealth is so decentralized and free flowing. If it ever got off the nipple long enough, the American Parasite would take notice of the hoards of foreigners that come to this country with nothing and establish themselves in our society within two generations. Why bother coming here if they could do it at home? They can't.

Not only does the American Parasite ride the coat tail of our economy, the also place a drag on our Nation's social advancement, diluting the definition of marriage, family and the debasement of the American Christianity. The self serving desire to gain acceptance for the self destructive behaviors is more important than any larger social cost imposed on our nation.

Our economic freedom is the foundation of the rest of our freedoms, but real freedom is not what the American Parasite wants. What the American Parasite wants is to be like other American Parasites because these people lack confidence in themselves and find comfort in the safe corners of social acceptance. The language they use is a window into their fragile convictions, for example "pro-abortion" becomes "pro-choice" and "racial quotas" become "affirmitive action".  

American Parasites want to tell us (as indirectly as possible) what to eat, what to drive, what to wear, what to say and what to think. So detached is the American Parasite from the battle for freedom, there is a inability to recognize when it is threatened.

For example, what is a greater threat, 300 dedicated jihadists released from US custody in Cuba, or a government clerk looking at public library records? My credit card has a deeper reach into my private life than any library card I ever had, is the American Parasite up in arms about it? Where is the sense of proportion?

There is an American Culture. We are a very young nation, and like a teenager with a green mohawk and a pierced eyebrow, we are little strange to bring to the family reunion, however we have earned our place at the table. A little uncivilized maybe, strange looking and misunderstood at times, but in general a good kid. We got a good thing going here, and its worth fighting and dying for. My culture is walking a field upwind with a fall breeze sweeping over golden husks of corn and a dog at my side. My religion is the entire vastness and beauty of our country. I am always amazed how many great people I meet when I travel here, in bars, at work, to meet a stranger and learn about them and share a good laugh. This is my American culture. I've lived in another country, speaking another language and I know the difference.
 
If some moron wants to lie prostrate on a rug five times a day and moan gibberish at a loud speaker (or else....) as a means of advancing his culture, that's his pussy, backassward problem. He does not achieve de facto equivalency of culture, it must demonstrate it's superiority to my culture. Men have clashed for six million years for food, land and resources and I'm not here by accident, of course neither are they. At this split second in the existence of man, we are witnesses to the destruction of a disfunctional culture, from the looks of things, my culture is winning. 

If some turd wants a wife who can't drive a car (and he can't afford one anyway), or he beats her as a sport to diffuse his feelings of economic impotence or he needs a identity so he files an airplane with 300 innocents into the office building our nation's military or economic core, I don't care if he has a WMD or a BVD or IUD, he is standing in the way of me and the way I want to live. Islam in the form being practised by many today is a cultural and spiritual dead end, but it's not my dead end. If I have to choose between them and me, it's them and don't around wait for an apology.

I don't need to rationalize or intellectualize about the value of Islam or what freedom is. Freedom for me is living in a country where it's not raining airplanes. Freedom for me is not having hold my pants up while running through an airport with my shoes in my hand because of security issues. Freedom for me is less of you in my life and less of me in yours.

Here's a definition of freedom from an American Parasite....

"the term freedom is a meaningless abstraction apart from institutions, concepts, and procedures designed to insure social justice, namely things like due process of law, separation of powers, sanctity of property, public safety, a consensual notion of the public interest, et cetera."

So this American Parasite thinks that institutions, and concepts and et cetera is the source of freedom? If this guy was one of our founding fathers, the "don't tread on me flag would have looked like this.
