Don’t go blaming this crap on McDonalds... It’s the “thought” industries: the schools, the lamestream media, the trial lawyers, publishing houses, our elite universities (of which I’m a grad) that are producing this hatred for American values and core founding principles.

I don’t disagree...my comment was that the McD food and the ambience most likely make minds more susceptible to the drivel from the places you mention “thought industries”.

It’s along the lines of Clouseau’s immortal remark: “you can’t have a modern prison without modern furniture.” A well nourished populace would have taken the thought industries to task years ago.

Back when we ate mush and oatmeal for breakfast we were the strongest, most independent nation in the world.

I don’t know how old you are but there used to be the best eating in America out on the highways at the old truck stops. In 2006 I returned to this country after ten years on an isolated South Pacific island and was devastated to find all the old truck stop restaurants replaced with Mc Ds.

I like the term “pop-capitalism” coined by another poster here. It is definitely that. Poor Andorra.
