As a Canadian (and who asked me), I think America is really two countries and doesn't know it. There are a rational bunch of Americans much like the rest of the western world and then there are the Tea Bagger Americans.

Tea Baggers like to police the world but hate government (and taxes). Their rallying call is freedom except when it has to do with abortion, free speech of others, personal drug use. This is the same group that generations ago used to hate civil rights (and still does), own slaves and support prohibition. Until October 1st, America was the only major Western country not to ensure that people got medical insurance. They hate that but want tax dollars used to build sports stadiums. Oh yeah, they want Jesus for everyone -- whether you like it or not! Thankfully, this group is still a minority as vocal as they are.
