After the Presidential election, do you feel that there is no sense of fairness, like you live in a dictatorship, that there is intense hypocrisy and that Bush is a moron? Do you believe such conspiracy theories like the election was rigged, compassionate conservatism is a lie or an oxymoron, there has been a corporate right-wing takeover of the news media that is lying and brainwashing people, better information can be had from the European press than American newspapers, there's going to be a draft, the Iraq war should never have happened, the neo-cons's spirituality is phony, the separation of church and state is going to hell and that Bush can and will stack the Supreme Court if given the chance?

Because it was such a good idea in El Salavador? Because there's no chance that sending Kurds and Shias to extrajudicially kill Sunnis will start a civil war or that sending any Iraqi and American forces to kill militia leaders hiding in Syria will spark an international incident?
Sometimes my adopted country is just as bad:
Four UK soldiers face court martial in Iraq for abuse including assault and indecent assault
In a rare example of good news, Dover, PA teachers refuse to read antievolution disclaimer.
