To those who have trouble understanding George Bush's America, perhaps this analogy will suffice:
Like citizens of the Roman Republic, most Americans are conservative, religious, a bit blood thirsty, and absolutely convinced that we are superior to every nation on earth. At the the same time, just like Rome of old, we are deeply riven between Plebeian and Patrician. But - so far, anyway - we don't allow those internal divisions to stand in our way whenever some non-Roman needs a righteous beating.
Inevitably however, the balance will swing and more and more effort will be spent providing bread and circuses to the Plebeians (or at least the modern equivalents: welfare, sports, and national medicine). And all the while, the core values that made us great will slowly leach away, and we'll wind up as Canadians. At which point - equally inevitably - we'll be wiped out by some nasty barbarians who are shockingly devoid of moral compunctions (read: conservative, religious, blood thirsty, and confident). And the cycle will continue, ad infinitum.
For those who find this offensive? Good! Go read some history! As for me, I'll burnish the armor, offer a sneer, and enjoy these sunny Republican days as long as they last. |
Offensive? No.
Laughable? Yes.

sounds about right. the question is, who are these barbarians? |
Canadians, of course.
We will sweep down from the north, riding our faithful polar bears. With hockey sticks held high, we will cut a deadly swathe through the bible belt of America, dealing out punishing body checks to the soft fat underbelly of America.
Your cities will fall and igloos will rise in their place. We will loot Washington, and burn the White House, again.
We will demolish the very core of American culture. Every McDonalds will become a Harvey's. Every KFC will be renewed as a Swiss Chalet. Every Dunkin Donuts will become a shrine to Tim Hortons.
No one will be able to stop us, and anyone who tries will be forced into re-education camps and forced to listen to CBC Radio 24 hours a day.
Repent now or be buried beneath a hail of pucks!
America, you have been warned!
