‘Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh long may it wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
US citizens have their Constitution, the National Anthem and, it seems, their undying belief that they are the freest people on earth. Each verse of the US National Anthem, The Star Spangled Banner, ends with “O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave”.
Really? Consider this peaceful protest by Disney employees who merely want affordable health care and to be paid a decent salary in the land of the free.
- Brave protesters Tinkerbell and Peter Pan, Mickey Mouse, Snow White and Cinderella and many supporters in peaceful protest
Aren’t they brave to stand up to the super-rich Disney corporation? Seems not…..
The protest was peaceful until the cops turned up. Then Tinkerbell and Peter Pan, Mickey Mouse, Snow White and Cinderella are arrested and cuffed with plastic ties. Yet again Uncle Sam reveals his true colors – freedom is only for the rich and powerful. ‘Bravery’ is a badge only the privileged can wear.

Take note my American readers. In all European Union (EU) States health care is a RIGHT for everyone. So is protest a RIGHT in Europe although I admit that sometimes Europe’s police overstep the mark as well. We have Human Rights laws and the European Court of Human Rights.
Sorry America you have a long way to go to earn the label “Land of The Free”.
