After decades of hyper-militant consumerism and its attending alienation, and a national consciousness spun from pure capitalist bullshit and mirrors, it is testimony to the American people that they can still see to piss straight, much less recognize any sort of truth whatsoever.
(from Honk if You Love Caviar: Understanding America's Class System by fellow-strumpetocrat Joe Bageant, which, apart from being one hell of a rant, is also one hell of a sociopolitical history and required reading for everyone with eyes. Unless you care more about a mosque that isn't a mosque in a city that isn't yours which suffered a disaster you had nothing to do with almost nine years ago. Which, if you're American, you probably do.)
