Greatest country in the world? MY ASS!!!

People in the united states hide behind the line "we are the greatest country in the world" while our jobs move overseas, our standard of living declines every single day, and our education system loses more ground every minute! Drape yourself in the old, false flag all that you want, but you cannot block out the truth. You can cover your eyes but you can't change the facts. Here are the facts:

According to the research firm IPSOS Mori, the United States ranks second out of fourteen countries in general ignorance about social statistics such as teen pregnancy, unemployment rates, and voting patterns. Italy is the most ignorant of the fourteen countries.

Wow!!! Now there is a category everyone wants to excel in!!! Shouldn't "the greatest country in the world" avoid this list altogether?

Oh never mind..............I found the problem:

You don't really see any reporting on the above countries do you? See if with your limited brain power you can figure out why...............go ahead, I'll wait. While the media in this country keeps you worshipping this country by showing you the bombed out Middle East, starving babies in Africa, or any of the other pablum they usually feed us, you can lean back in your easy chair and enjoy the quick ride downhill.

DAMN!!! Don't look now, but remember all of our right you brag about?
