Is the USA the most backwards nation?

I'm not even going to get into third world countries in Africa and East Europe and South America, those places are developing and things are getting better over time. So calling them backwards isn't right. But let's look at all the modern countries in the world and compare them to America. How come if you look at Western Europe or Canada or even Japan you will never see the populist insanity that is about to send this country over the cliff tomorrow? Even when people are angry at the economy in these other countries they still THINK.

Look at the elections that just happened in UK. The conservatives won but those conservatives would be considered sane in this country and wouldn't be any part of the tea party. Only in this country is the electorate so fucked in the head that they would put people like Tom Tancredo and Sharron Angle and Sarah Palin in power. In any other country these people wouldn't be able to run for office with their fucked view of the world.

So is this the most backwards country in the modern industrialized world? That's a serious question. BTW I fully expect tomorrow to be a bloodbath, conservatives are excited and democrats/liberals/people with brains are demoralized and defeated.

She kind of has a young Sally Field look going on. I like that.

By "Tea Party" do you mean Republican candidates? Well, they took control of our House of Representatives, Senate I think is still majority Democrat.

Not all, but a sizable amount.

Don't worry, you'll still be able to whack off. The gays on the other hand.
