And we all know which country that is. It's the country where:
- all sorts of white folks, whether your skin color is ecru or eggshell and everything in between, can get ahead.
- black folks know their place.
- Latinos work in the fields and not in the front office.
- women are second class citizens.
- homos stay in the closet.
- where the comedy stylings of Rich Little and Dennis Miller reign supreme.
- you keep minorities from voting and then you say, "Hey look, those people never vote anyway, so why should we have laws to protect their right to vote?"
- big corporations get to write the labor laws and unions are outlawed.
- you're free to go to the Christian church of your choice, as long as they don't preach or practice social or economic justice.
- the only food that's good for you is the stuff they douse with pesticides and grow on factory farms.
- any rich white child can grow up to be President if he so chooses.

Well said, Dr. Monkey.
Perhaps she could have her own country somewhere off the Alaskan shore on an ice floe?
Have you seen Capitalism: a Love Story yet? It was pretty good. Not everyone likes Michael Moore, but I think he's an important guy.
Well, they're writing Thomas Jefferson out of the school books in Texas. The Texas school board is actually re-writing history. Can't have kids learning about separation of church and state and other such radical concepts that are in the Constitution. So, Dr., I don't want that country back either but it seems there are enough ignorants in the US to make it a scary prospect.
Very well done. And I agree with your other commenters.
How can you talk like that about Sarah? Are you saying that she doesn't have our best interests at heart? That our beloved tea bagger revolutionaries are uneducated loons? Who else is looking to protect me from all the 'hopey changey' things that the government is trying to shove down my throat?
Now I don't feel nearly as alone or inept. I can't post pics either.
You'll never be alone as long as I draw breath John.
"any rich white child can grow up to be President if he so chooses"
Clinton and Obama didn't fit that mold and the Never-Right doesn't see them as being legitimate Presidents. They did everything they could to try to keep Clinton from actually working as President. Now they are doing the same with Obama.
