The United States is the most hated country on the planet, followed by, to the extent that there is a distinction, Israel. So far as I know, there are no other contenders. You can say “Who cares?” as many will say, or “Screw’em if they can’t take a joke,” or “I’d rather be feared than loved.” All very droll. Still, it is an interesting datum. No country ever lives up to its own PR, but there was a time when America was widely admired. Now, almost universally, it is seen as a rogue state. And is.How did we Americans, who consider ourselves as kind, generous, peace-loving and God-fearing, reach this ugly point in our history? Fred offers a bit of explanation:
This carries a price. The US consulate in Guadalajara is part fortress, part prison, with barriers and cameras and bars and rentacops, and they take away a woman’s lipstick if she is going to enter. Maybe a country that fears lipstick needs to think. The French consulate around the corner is wide open, like all others that I know of. The French, Chinese, Japanese and so on aren’t hated.
The United States is the most militarily aggressive country on the planet, followed closely by Israel. I am aware of no other contenders.It gets pretty obvious when you look. An out-of-control federal government.
Some of this combativeness is obvious—attacking Iraq for no good reason, occupying Afghanistan, threatening Syria and Iran, attacking Lebanon by proxy, bombing Somalia, putting troops in the Philippines to hunt Moslems. The US is also looking for trouble with Venezuela, threatening North Korea, moving to “contain” China, embargoing Cuba, pushing into Central Asia, increasing the military budget, and pushing NATO ever closer to Russia. (How stupid can you get? Very. Stay tuned.), And the Pentagon now has Africom, African Command. Africa is now America’s business.
As Fred says:
Joe iPod in the burbs doesn’t care because it doesn’t affect him, yet. Git them Hay-rabs, ain’t no draft, plenty sushi. Urg.Until Joe ipod and his main squeeze gets alarmed and starts taking action, this federal government will stay out-of-control.
Joe better wake up soon, time is running out.

Joe ipod will likely remain complacent, until Der Schtaat takes away everything he has and puts him in a slave-labor camp with Jose "for his own good" or "to protect the environment" or whatever other bullshit cause the Papist minions of the Khazak bankers come up with.
As to "the most hated nation on earth", we can rectify that by telling the Roman Catholic cult to shove its spiritualism based altruism where the sun doesn't shine, kicking her Jesuit pederasts out of the Capitol building, and bringing our troops home to be redeployed along the southern border...Yeah, like that's ever gonna happen!
Uncle Shylock doesn't listen to die plebescheithe anymore.
We are most hated because we are a Christian nation and Christians love to kill people in the name of God! That is why they do not preach against war in the fucking churches! They just mumble stupid ass prayers that mean shit. Fuck Christianity! That is the cause of all wars.
