    So sad .. so sad

    Once again, thanks to our morally depraved Born-Again-Christian-in-Chief, America's standing in the world as the beacon of liberty, truth and respected moral prinicples, with an unwavering commitment to the rule of international law, is being further turned into the enemy we used to despise and fight.

    We have met the enemy, and they is us!

    Not only has the US (and many of it's citizens, apparently) accepted what can only be seen as the United States new role as world tyrant (brutalizing people the world over, taking over the jobs formally held by Saddam Hussein and 3rd world dictators), but little is seemingly being done to reverse this grotesque turn for the worst.

    Is it any wonder Kurt Vonnegut said there is truly no hope for humanity?

    The great American experiment failed, kids. Our glorious "white, Christian male power structure" made sure of that.
