I never claimed that he was an american. I was making a point based on the fact that he's getting shit from our politicians which is probably because they don't want this idea to catch on over on our side of the pond.

ITT the mob (the cabbage, the sheep, just pick one) didn't really care about the biggest swindle ever because despite the huge amount of money, it only happened to a small aristocratic sample.

IMO the world has grown mostly into a single economic entity and what happens there affects us and vise versa where our actions can impact their attempts.

But your opinion is uninformed and useless, so why would anyone care?

I mean, if someone wanted the opinion of someone who thinks Gordon Brown is an American politician, they could just mosey on down to the local loser bar and listen to the informed opinion of other Glenn Beck fans such as yourself.

That hurts my feelings Rog. I've never watched his show, read his book, nor do I know anything about his political standing.

You people in Englandistan or whatever should also call your senators and representatives.

I have. They don't listen to me because I live in a horribly god fearing misinformed society who don't listen to me. I also didn't vote for McConnel, OR McKain, but this state did...
