Hate much?
Name the only country in the world where a racist group (KKK) shows up at a protest (Ferguson) to raise money for a "hero" cop who shot an unarmed black teen. and in the same week, a church group (Westboro Baptist) would (plan to) show up to heckle the funeral of a beloved comic (Robin Williams) who brought so much joy and laughter to the world. Sad.

On American culture
Why do many Americans think that healthcare is not a right for their fellow taxpaying citizens?
Click here to go to most recent posts.
The fundamental myth of American culture, is that no matter how poor or humble your birth, you can through grit, spunk and hard work become wealthy and prosperous.
On the face of it, and from the perspective of a class divided Europe, that seems incredibly noble and empowering. The idea that there is that much social mobility, that anyone can forge their own destiny is a powerful part of the American psyche. When it happens, it is an incredible thing. Something Americans can feel proud of.
However, there is a dark side to this myth. Which is this... if anyone can win through hard work and effort, anyone who doesn't win, therefore deserves to be poor.
At the core of all the anti-health care reforms is the single concept "why should I pay for the healthcare of those losers."

Rick Perry: "George Bush defended us from freedom."
Because that's what Republicans do--defend brown people, females, immigrants, veterans and poor people from freedom.

Rachel Maddow tells Koch Brothers "Blow me"
Well, not in so many words, but it took a gay woman to stand up to the powerful Koch brothers where lesser men have stood shaking in their booties.

Is it something in the water?
C&P from a comment in a current Toronto newspaper article:
Two years ago when a US border guard threatened to deny us access to Port Huron AND fine us some $350.00, for attempting to "smuggle" an orange that we'd forgotten was in a lunch pail in the trunk of our car...
When I tried to explain to him that the orange probably came from Florida in the first place, and that it was not like we were trying to bring-in a Canadian grown apple, or anything like that, what he fired back at me---quite serious, and resolute---absolutely shocked & awed both of us in the car...
"SIR, WE DON'T CARE ABOUT APPLES, BUT THIS HERE ORANGE IS A DIRECT THREAT TO THE SECURITY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!"
