Thank you for helping me see beyond the flag of my nation. Thank you for helping me see not only what other countries think of us, but why they think that way.

Thank you for helping me see why faith based science is better than *actual* science. Thank you for helping expose the Evangelicals for who they are - rabid bible thumpers who will stop at nothing to push their agenda.

Thank you for attacking Iraq; we just couldn't have another country that doesn't see eye to us. Thank you for killing many, many people; it really helps the global overpopulation problem.

Thank you for our economy. Thank you for having our job market fall out from underneath us; without jobs we are forced to move back in with our parents and have stronger family bonds.

Thank you for the PATRIOT Act; I never needed my civil rights anyways!

Thank you for bringing this country back twenty years. Thank you for for abstinence only sex-ed. Thank you for killing funding to AIDS research.

Thank you for bringing corruption back into our government on a level not seen for years. Thank you for having Dick Cheney run wild; it was fun while it lasted!

But most of all, thank you for showing us a sense of emergency. We now understand the urgency of the global economy. We now are starting to want renewable energy. We now are wanting to be a peaceful nation and not the world's fascist police force. Thank you for reminding us of what could have been and what still can be.
