No.

This country doesn't value human life beyond its usefulness during an election year.

Like children. Oh they love the children don't they? They go on and on about "the children". But you see how they respond to massacres in schools almost weekly. With thoughts and prayers.

Or the unborn babies. Gotta put an end to abortion cuz "every life is precious" or some bullshit. But where is the money for early childhood education, govt subsidized daycare, food programs like WIC, etc? Those get cut to pay for billionaire tax cuts or imperialism spending.

Don't forget support the troops... Until they return home that is.

And a lot of people misinterpret “Born in the USA” as a patriotic song.

EDIT: If you don’t know and didn’t want to spend a few seconds using Google, it is about American veterans who served in Vietnam, returning home, and not having a very prosperous livelihood.
