Today’s “way to state the obvious” award goes to The Washington Post. According to the article, American politics are divided in a sharply bipartisan manner which will ensure that after the Presidential election a sizable chunk of the population will end up pissed off.

It’s actually pretty interesting, despite this, and makes even clearer (should any further clarification be necessary) that if Bush gets a second term everyone in Europe – in fact, everyone in the world – will be well and truly screwed.

“Bush extols “entrepreneurs,” insists on tax cutting and deregulation, and promotes drilling and logging… he professes a born-again faith and appeals to traditional norms on issues such as marriage and cloning… he disdains intellectual subtleties in favor of plain-spoken verities.”

Kerry “embraces environmentalism, labor unionism and regulation… he emphasizes the complexities of issues and urges an internationalist foreign policy… he gives precedence to tolerance over tradition and dissent over conformity.”

Toleration? Environmentalism? Internationalism? Understanding of complexities? – Disgusting pinko nonsense! We want God, big business, pollution, unilateralism and war!

The fact that some people genuinely think like that scares the living hell out of me…
