America Is Not Greatest Country In the World... by AmeenAkbar
Script of Video
"..It's NOT the greatest country in the world, Professor. That's my answer.
Fine.
Sharon, the NEA is a loser. Yeah, it accounts for a penny out of our
paycheck, but he gets to hit you with it anytime he wants. It doesn't
cost money. It costs votes. It costs airtime. And column inches. You
know why people don't like liberals? Because they lose. If liberals are
so fuckin' smart then how come they lose so goddamn always?
And
with a straight face, you're gonna sit there and tell students that
America is so star-spangled awesome that we're the only ones in the
world who have freedom? Canada has freedom. Japan has freedom. The U.K.
France. Italy. Germany. Spain. Australia. BELGIUM has freedom. Two
hundred and seven sovereign states in the world, like, a hundred and
eighty of them have freedom.
...And you, Sorority Girl, just in
case you accidentally wander into a voting booth one day, there's some
things you should know. One of them is there's absolutely no evidence to
support the statement that we're the greatest country in the world.
We're seventh in literacy. Twenty-seventh in math. Twenty-second in
science. Forty-ninth in life expectancy. A hundred and seventy-eighth in
infant mortality. Third in median household income. Number four in
labor force and number four in exports. We lead the world in only three
categories: Number of incarcerated citizens per capita, number of adults
who believe angels are real, and defense spending, where we spend more
than the next twenty-six countries combined, twenty-five of whom are
allies.
Now none of this is the fault of a twenty-year-old
college student, but you nonetheless are without a doubt a member of the
worst, period, generation, period, ever, period. So when you ask what
makes us the greatest country in the world, I dunno what the fuck you're
talkin' about. Yosemite?
Sure used to be. We stood up for what
was right. We fought for moral reasons. We passed laws, struck down
laws, for moral reasons. We waged wars on poverty, not poor people. We
sacrificed. We cared about our neighbors. We put our money where our
mouths were. And we never beat our chest.
We built great big
things, made ungodly technological advances, explored the universe,
cured diseases, and we cultivated the world's greatest artists and the
world's greatest economy. We reached for the stars. Acted like men.
We aspired to intelligence. We didn't belittle it, it didn't make us feel inferior.
We
didn't identify ourselves by who we voted for in the last election, and
we didn't, oh, we didn't scare so easy. Ha. We were able to be all
these things and do all these things because we were informed. By great
men. Men who were revered. First step in solving any problem is
recognizing there is one. America is not the greatest country in the
world anymore. Enough?"
