Written by an American. Let's hope the posting will not be taken out of context and that I will be held liable for spreading anti-American propaganda.
The article is, I agree somewhat negative in SOME areas of it's content, however it's a different slant of the inherent problems facing America right now. And for many years.

Many of the problems facing America right now are the very same problems being faced in other countries. Each country has their own view of the situation. Normally it is the America's fault. Someone needs to be blamed and it might as well be America.

No we don't. The pirates have a good handle on quite a bit of it last time I checked.

This is some garbage opinion piece. Some paranoid tea partier got into the whiskey and banged out a screed about the end of the world.

Now now with the tea partier. Where is the article said to be written by a tea partier?

Anyway, the screed about the end of the world is found in Revelations. I'm not sure if it was written by a tea partier.

So mookie, if I put up a website with a liberal scheme and fill it with a bunch of looney left wing conspiracy theories you figure that it would be an accurate description of you?

I was ready to riot today. My cell phone died, and then the power went out for about an hour, and I had no computer either. I thought it was the end of the world. I seriously considered going down to the grocery store and stealing some ice cream.

Logic fault here.

No tea party member I know would subscribe to the very first point in this article.

We all, regardless of social/political stripe, have a tendancy to believe in "american exceptionalism" which the first point of the article decries as arrogance.

In no way blaming you for the bash at all Feuer Frei.


Sounds like the author of this article has a bad case of generalizatia.

But it is anti-American propaganda Frei. And you are spreading it. So why shouldn't you be held liable?

Whoever wrote that article is a troll. As you read it you can just feel the authors desire for it to happen.
