Indeed. It's why I've pretty much lost what little faith I ever had in America, both right and left sides. By no means do I consider America the worst, or even among the worst, countries in the world; but it's most certainly nowhere near the best. It DEFINITELY has no right to be the world power as it is right now.
I do love that both the right and left sides of the spectrum pronounce that THEY truly believe in American freedom, and that the other side is almost as bad as the Nazis. lol Heck, come to think of it, the relationship between the two can make for great comedy!
But that's the real American speaking in me: detachment from the real world in favor of what I find "entertaining" and arbitrarily agreeing with whatever angry host I happen to be listening to at the moment (though, for me, that's usually in regards to whether or not a movie or video game is good).
