Political rant:
The lack of a public healthcare system
The lack of a high-speed rail system
The power corporations have to pollute the environment and frack and steal resources without anyone doing anything about it. 
The horrible lack of labor standards and the fact that our minimum wage is merely $7.25 an hour. 
Corporate personhood
The simplistic mentality of "caring for poor people and saying the banks and corporations have too much power=socialism=bad"
The Westboro Baptist Church itself, and the fact that they have the right to protest at funerals. 
The fact that people with the intelligence of Todd Akin can be on the House's Science Comittee
The two-party system and the electoral college (not to mention the FPTP)
The lack of limits on corporate campaign funding
The literalist degrees to which the second amendment is interpreted
The rigid social conservatism of so much of the population
The lack of a real welfare system
The defense hawk militarist mentality
The levels of summer drought we get
The levels of Racism
The levels of Homophobia
The power of the banks
The fact that everything sold and used here (INCLUDING OUR FRICKEN' OLYMPIC UNIFORMS) are made in China
The lack of government arts funding
Rick Perry

Non-political:
Obesity and fast food
Daniel Tosh
Country and rap music
Donald Trump (okay, semi-political)
The way (wannabe) gangsters think it's cool if your trousers are descending in the back. 
The fact that we haven't adopted the metric system (semi-political)

That's called freedom of speech, you realize.

Nonsense; freedom of speech doesn't apply when I disagree with the speech or the person speaking, you know.
