   I read this comment on an online blog, lucianne.com.   
      
   It was kind of a shock, because I did not think Europeans looked on the   
   US that way. What do you Europeans say? Do you think the US is a banana   
   republic?   
      
   Here is the remark.   
      
   In Europe, Middle East, Latin America, Far East, EVERYONE knows that the   
   US is now another "Banana Republic", complete with corrupt politicians,   
   crooked lawyers, vote fraud, a Congress full of clowns, a sock puppet for   
   a President, liberalism running rampant, a propagation of community   
   organizers bunched as ACORN. The only difference, so far, is that the   
   MILITARY is not the overpowering branch of the government. After the   
   socialism putsch has been completed, there will be no turning back.
