SAD BUT TRUE!!!

This is so sad, from a proud, strong country to a laughing stock of the world. I don't find it funny at all but true!
Canadian's Version of David Letterman's Top 10. Just makes you want to shake your head in disbelief.
This is Canada's Top Ten List of America's Stupidity. Of course we look like idiots because we are.

Number 10 Only in America could politicians talk about the greed of the rich at a $35,000.00 per plate Obama campaign fund-raising event.

Number 9 Only in America ...could people claim that the government still discriminates against black Americans when they have a black President, a black Attorney General and roughly 20% of the federal workforce is black while only 14% of the population is black 40+% of all federal entitlements goes to black Americans - 3X the rate that go to whites, 5X the rate that go to Hispanics!

Number 8 Only in America...could they have had the two people most responsible for our tax code, Timothy Geithner (the head of the Treasury Department) and Charles Rangel (who once ran the Ways and Means Committee), BOTH turn out to be tax cheats who are in favor of higher taxes.

Number 7 Only in America...can they have terrorists kill people in the name of Allah and have the media primarily react by fretting that Muslims might be harmed by the backlash.

Number 6 Only in America...would they make people who want to legally become American citizens wait for years in their home countries and pay tens of thousands of dollars for the privilege, while they discuss letting anyone who sneaks into the country illegally just 'magically' become American citizens (probably should be number one).

Number 5 Only in America....could the people who believe in balancing the budget and sticking by the country's Constitution be thought of as EXTREMIST’S.

Number 4 Only in America...could you need to present a driver's license to cash a check or buy alcohol, but not to vote.

Number 3 Only in America...could people demand the government investigate whether oil companies are gouging the public because the price of gas went up when the return on equity invested in a major U.S. Oil company(Marathon Oil) is less than half of a company making tennis shoes (Nike).

Number 2 Only in America... could you collect more tax dollars from the people than any nation in recorded history, still spend a Trillion dollars more than it has per year - for total spending of $7-Million PER MINUTE, and complain that it doesn't have nearly enough money.

And Number 1 Only in America...could the rich people- who pay 86% of all income taxes - be accused of not paying their "fair share" by people who don't pay any income taxes at all.

That's why we have armed drones. They detect foreign laughter and keep firing until it is over.

This is actually just a bunch of conservative talking points from this article:

So not laughingstock of the world. Unless you post too many political email forwards.

Did anyone check snopes? This sounds as phony as a Republican extolling family or denouncing abortion.

Iraq has WMD.

HEY YOU says

Actually, they did and still do. ISIS is using them lately.

That is pretty sad to read, like a painful reminder of what out of control liberalism and race baiting by the left has brought.

Only in America we constantly try to tell others what to do, then go in shock when someone returns the favor.

Yep, it's almost as painful a reminder as what out of control conservatism and race baiting by the right has brought. Didn't someone once say something about glass houses and stones?

No it's been said repeatedly

Keep supporting Obama, the one who will legalize and do anything for the "minorities" pandering, while completely taking a dump on everyone else, because he hates white people.

Too bad you are so wrapped up in your little right wingnut world you have zero ability to think rationally. That being the definition of conservative these days. I certainly never supported Obama. I don't know where you read that in my statement. I said right wing bullshit is just as bad as left wing bullshit. You certainly proved my point with your idiot post.

You'll be sorry for this snarky comment when they are eventually discovered buried in the desert circa 2050...
We are just waiting for the appropriate satellite scanning technology to arrive.

On July 2008, 550 metric tonnes of "yellowcake" the last major remnant of Saddam Hussein's nuclear program, a huge stockpile of concentrated natural uranium, arrived in Montreal as part of a top-secret U.S. operation. This transport of the seed material for higher-grade nuclear enrichment, included a two-week airlift from Baghdad and a voyage across two oceans. The Iraqi government sold the yellowcake to a Canadian uranium producer, Cameco Corp., in a transaction the official described as worth "tens of millions of dollars."[107]

In October 2014, the New York Times reported that U.S. servicemen had been exposed and injured during the disposal and destruction of abandoned 4,990 chemical weapons that had been discovered in Iraq.[108] CBS News reported that the U.S. government had concealed the injuries to the troops by chemical weapons, because of their American and European provenance.[109][110] US soldiers reporting exposure to mustard gas and sarine allege they were required to keep their exposure secret, sometimes declined admission to hospital and evacuation home despite the request of their commanders.[110]
“ "We were absolutely told not to talk about it" by a colonel, the former sergeant said.[110] ”
