We all have our shortcomings, our national foibles.

One point where the Krautman is wrong. He says:

Even on freedom of religion, Obama could not resist the compulsion to find fault with his own country: "For instance, in the United States, rules on charitable giving have made it harder for Muslims to fulfill their religious obligation" -- disgracefully giving the impression to a foreign audience not versed in our laws that there is active discrimination against Muslims, when the only restriction, applied to all donors regardless of religion, is on funding charities that serve as fronts for terror.

Reminds me of

"The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread." (Anatole France from The Red Lily, 1894)

Be honest Pepe. You don't give a shit about the tax money. You just want the priests to give you a bit of the man-boy action.
