This was my whole point, man - I get everything else you said, and it's all true and important, but you seem to direct your vitriol more toward American conservativism, even when perhaps there's some blame to be directed elsewhere. Sometimes it's over the top, to where "devil's advocate" can't even begin to describe it - and really, it's sort of disrespectful and disingenuous. We're all relatively intelligent here, even (especially?) the "conservatives" that you so vehemently disagree with (here's a hint: neither Russ nor myself voted for Bush . . . or Kerry), so feel free to present the other side as just that, instead of making implications and thinly veiled jabs.
