You know all those self-loathing Seppos who dramatically announce to all and sundry that they’re planning on fleeing the Evil Empire but never really get around to it?
Well there actually is a virtual support group for Americans living outside America who find so much to dislike about the USA that they’ve devoted a blog to it — it’s called The Exile. It’s got charming little pieces such as “Cheney Begs On His Hands & Knees: Bush sends his puppeteer Cheney to the Middle East to suck Arab dick for cheaper oil…” and “American Girls Are Diseased Sluts: Everyone knows that American girls are fat, ugly pseudo-lesbians who cannot hold a candle to Russian girls.“
Oh, it’s also based in the freedom-and-democracy loving Russia, where journalists and bloggers who criticise Mother Russia have a rather alarming tendency to turn up dead, although the irony of that would certainly be lost on these self-indulgent wankers.
Today’s feature story? “20 Reasons Why We’re Ashamed To Be American.”
One of their biggest whinges? “[W]e’ve gone from globetrotting White Gods to globe-skulking buffoons-by-association. America has fucked up our action, and we’re out for a little payback.”
But, have any of these expatriate lefties have actually renounced their embarrassing US citizenship and handed back their embarrassing US passports? Well, no. They admit, “No. We like our passports. They allow us to travel to most places. Nope, we don’t wanna turn them in, sir. Instead, we’d rather tell you why we’re embarrassed, while at the same time enjoying all of the advantages that U.S. citizenship still affords us, few though they may be.”
So, it’s obviously excruciatingly embarrassing to be an American but it would be even more excruciatingly inconvenient to stop being American.
As an expat/dual-citizen myself, the only time I’m even slightly embarrassed of my American side is when moonbats like these evacuate their bowels all over Teh Interwebz. If nothing else, though, I give these wankers maybe a one-trillionth of a poofteenth more credit than I give the ones who are always “threatening” to leave but never quite have the guts to do it. I just wish they’d have the full courage of their convictions and renounce their US citizenship for good.

Oh, for fuck sakes, can’t these people learn that if they want the rights of a citizen, they should also shoulder the responsibilities of being a citizen of one of the greatest countries on Earth?
The US may have it’s problems, but so does every other country. At least in the US, you can criticise it without “disappearing” or ending up in an “accident” or with “lead poisoning”. But that is no damn reason to be so vile and filthy about it.
March 11, 2008, 8:31 pm at 8:31 pm
As “excruciatingly embarrassing” as America can be at times, there’s still a lot more people sacrificing everything to get in rather than to get out. That simple fact of life still says it all, to me.
March 11, 2008, 8:41 pm at 8:41 pm
Yep, that’s definitely the clincher Spot. If it was so damn bad, they wouldn’t want to get in. And the US wouldn’t have those 20 million illegal immigrants either.
March 11, 2008, 8:47 pm at 8:47 pm
Exactly Ash and Spot.
In my crude and rude manner…I’ll put it this way. The U.S. may fart, but the people coming, love the smell…and they just keep coming. Posted here some damn where earlier…but here’s to farts
March 11, 2008, 10:16 pm at 10:16 pm
Looks like I’m the fartcatcher. Oh, well…
March 11, 2008, 10:18 pm at 10:18 pm
Weird how it’s un-PC to criticize foreign countries but perfectly acceptable to bag your own.
March 11, 2008, 10:56 pm at 10:56 pm
#6 It’s not exactly “non-PC to bag foreign countries” per se – lots of foreigners bag America. Why shouldn’t they, given that so many SHOUTY lefty American moonbats do so? These American-exiles-in-Russia would probably be the toast of the town over there.
It does seem to be mostly first-world free democratic countries which get bagged by all and sundry, though. Lots more mileage to be had in papier-mache BusHITLER heads than in, say Mugabe or Hu Jintao heads. Funny, that.

Way to pistol-whip those “ugly Americans”! Good boy, Spot!
March 12, 2008, 12:39 am at 12:39 am
The fact that these losers are hot for Russian girls says super-dweeb to me; you know, the kind that a decent American girl wouldn’t have on a bet.
March 12, 2008, 12:44 am at 12:44 am
#9 The irony is, Salty, that most likely the only reason a hot Russian girl would take up with an American super-dweeb in Russia is for the possibility of gaining that most-prized possession, an American residency permit or Green Card and possible US citizenship.

Would it be a mortal sin to send assassination squads after these people? It seems like a moral gray area to me.
March 12, 2008, 12:57 am at 12:57 am
Isn’t that what we should be doing Angus?

#11 It would have made sense if Carter had done it, but I was quite surprised when I learned none other than Gerald Ford banned the CIA from international assassinations. I guess even Republicans make mistakes.
PS Guys. I could well be wrong but there may be a little extra traffic tomorrow.
PPS I agree with everyone’s sentiments but please don’t bag Russian girls too much. There’s quite a few of them here in Korea and… um… I’m digging myself into a hole here…?

Expats are the worse. I don’t know if American expats are any worse than other kinds of expats, but there is a reason they are expats. They are basically fat stupid losers who have a chip on their shoulders. Most of them are bald. They can’t get a woman so they have to run off to some third world country, and they rationalize this by saying they want to learn about some other culture. They bitch about America and blame their country for their own failings, so they run away.
And the funny thing is, they country where they go to–people hate them! Because they’re obnoxious and arrogant. They run away from America but they think that they are superior because they are Americans in a foreign land. They whine and cry about immigrants in America not assimilating, but they do EXACTLY the same thing when they run away to another country–hide in their little expat communities. They’re pathetic losers and I say good riddance to them. I only feel sorry for their new host countries who have to put up with such dumb fat balding loudmouth losers.

#14 Hi Fred! Nice rant, but, y’know, not all American expats are like that
I only feel sorry for their new host countries who have to put up with such dumb fat balding loudmouth losers.
LOL!

Are you Canadian, Fred?
May 19, 2008, 10:39 am at 10:39 am
Let’s face it, Fred. Chances are you’re a Canadian and you think 911 was an inside job. WTC7? The Zeitgeist? Faked moon-landing?
Did Jesus really exist?
Love the reverse racism, too, re human beings who happen to be of Asian descent.
Or is that just plain racism?
Bet you’re voting for Obama.
Do you consider yourself a citizen of your country or a citizen of the world?
OK, enough. I’m being harsh. Let’s talk this through.
As for assimilation? What do you think I say to the taxi drivers, the restaurateurs and the average Joe over here in Korea? It’s in Korean, mate
You think I ask for a knife and fork? I learned how to use chopsticks.
Thing is, mate, most Koreans I meet in Korea don’t wanna clash. They see the virtues of the West. Korean kids don’t love McDonald’s because we’re pricks… they love it because it tastes awesome… same as Pizza Hut, even more so with Domino’s… don’t even mention Burger King!
That goes for the clothes and a ton of other conveniences, too. I ask my students; why? Because it’s more comfortable, they say.
It’s not some big mega play. It’s just day-to-day conveniences.
America didn’t invent comfortable pants, lol, or even Democracy for that matter. Fact is; reasoned Human minds know a good idea when they see one.
Mate, your cheap shot at Asian women was pretty low, though. And the generalist statement re Western mens’ treatment of them was, at best, ill-informed.
The Asian girl I’m dating has more class, culture and intelligence in her… right now… than your type of elitist, arrogant, know-it-all pseudo-utopiasts will ever conjour up in a lifetime.
BTW She’s a native English teacher and usually rakes in more money than me.
Hang around. Learn. Consider.
May 19, 2008, 10:41 am at 10:41 am
fred, guess what? you are so right! met another disgusting fat american expat the other day…eeeeww!
bb, your secrets are safe with me ;p. you missed the UN cemetery trip, the busan tower and of course, was left with the boys in the executive suite across from where your russian bitches hang out.
May 19, 2008, 10:47 am at 10:47 am
#17 Did I miss something, Bingbing? Where did Fred take a shot at Asians? Did someone edit his post without marking the edits or something? (confused).
May 19, 2008, 10:51 am at 10:51 am
not to mention the ugly duckling who spat out my window and yes, she’s born and raised in the USA. can’t blame her though, it’s her in blood…
most of my closest friends here are americans. and they are decent people. i have a thing with people who spit anywhere anytime…eeeewww!!!!
May 19, 2008, 10:53 am at 10:53 am
spot, drunk blogging? and needs spanking ;p
May 19, 2008, 10:58 am at 10:58 am
I hope you mean BB, not me…
**wanders off** Yeah, well I’ll just leave y’all to it, hey?
May 19, 2008, 11:24 am at 11:24 am
fred,
don’t think third world country women want americans who hate america. what would happen to their get-a-green-card dream?
oh! the obnoxious and arrogant FLT-expat i met was not bald. he was very entertaining and tolerable (til he spat on a plate in a hotel buffet restaurant…eeewww!!!)
May 19, 2008, 11:35 am at 11:35 am
Most of them are bald. They can’t get a woman so they have to run off to some third world country, and they rationalize this by saying they want to learn about some other culture.
And where do ‘they’ usually go?
March 14, 2009, 1:09 am at 1:09 am
Everybody LOVES America now, don’t they? Now that The Big O has cornered the market on Hopenchange?
Because he’s SO DIFFERENT from Evil Chimpy McHilterBurton. And America is going SO WELL under his stewardship.
Right?
