The Land of the Free… Some conditions may apply.

My friends on the internet, I do love schadenfreude. And as far as countries go, if you cannot tell by my blog (or the other blogs, or the news, or you really have your head stuck under a rock) America is a country filled with some of the most delicious pratfalls ever seen by man it's a surprise everyone there isn't doing it on purpose just to amuse the international community.

America is, now and possibly forever, the MOST hypocritical country on the face of the Earth. Certainly the Vatican, which is it's own country and all those Theocracies who claim moral authority and then do, by their own religious standards, the most immoral of acts gives it a run for it's money. But no, in the end America wins hands down in the "Hypocrisy and Irony" awards.

Traditional Americans are always speaking of being the "Land of the Free" hell it's in the national anthem and part of that declaration of independence that everyone is on about, I'm willing to bet it's in the constitution a couple of times. And yet America is ONE OF the most unfree countries on the earth.
The Land of the free…Unless you're:
Homosexual.
Transgender.
An Immigrant.
An Illegal Immigrant.
LOOK like an illegal immigrant.
Are not Christian.
Suspected of anything. (Thanks Patriot act!)
Mentally Disabled.
A "Minority" (i.e Black or Mexican looking)
Are a "Criminal".
Were a "Criminal".
Was suspected of being a Criminal and your name given to the papers, even if you were found not guilty.
Want to alter your mental state with various substances not doled out by the government.
Want to have consensual sex for an exchange of money.
Want to buy legal mind altering substances on a Sunday or in various counties depending on where in America you are.
Are Poor and/or Homeless.

Oh I'm sure there are even more.
And I'm not saying that other countries don't have these "Lack of Freedom" issues or even more of them. I'm just saying they don't claim to be "Free" and "The best country on earth" while simultaneously stomping down everyone they disagree with.
