    If anything, it targets the certain rotten spots that tend to show up in the US government. No government is safe from this. That being said, although I'm inclined to share the disfavor of how things are done by administration and I am concerned about the spikes of support for people who openly oppose the teaching of science and encourage intolerance, this wonderfully done bit of propaganda goes further than I wish to.

    Propaganda? Did we watch the same video clip? I've never seen a more accurate, honest, compelling documentary in my entire life. Of course the title is a little off.

    I would also like to note for the sake of argument and on the record, that as an American I HATE that stupid song "American Pie" by Don McLean. Ugh.

    I was sufficiently impressed with the animation and editing that I Googled around to find the source. Here's their main web page. As I said, I don't agree with much of anything these guys are peddling, but they're very, very good. Behold the new face of political propaganda.

    And they're relevant to the thread, since their entire message is anti-American.

    envy best descibes the root cause.

    "Hostility because of U.S. influence: economic, military, cultural." is a close second.
