Just when did we become a third world country?!

Starting with the Florida election corruption, the USA has gone on a steady downward path towards third world status:

- A botched war begun on botched intelligence and botched each and every step of the way.

- Attempts to stifle personal and media freedoms.

- Indefinite detainment and torture of prisoners in dark, secret prisons.

- Opaque planning processes closed to the public under the guise of presidential privilege and national security.

- Compromising of national security for petty political gain.

- Massive fiscal mismanagement bordering on malfeasance.

- Dismal disaster preparedness and execution reminiscent of non industrialized nations.

- Government official corruption on a potentially large scale.

Corruption, incompetence, lack of accountability, disasterous fiscal mismanagement, official dishonesty, party nepotism...

Sounds more like a despotic third world developing nation than the formally proud United States of America.

But, ask a rightist, and he'll tell you (via his FOX-powered, brain-embedded parrot chip):

It's Clinton's Fault!
