"The "culture" that the world hates so much is invented and dispensed by the liberal left"

This is the point that is rarely made...that which the "world" knows about America and our culture, is generally the product of our pop culture exports...movie's, music, etc. 99% of the world's population has never been to America, or spoken to a real American, but I'll bet that practically everyone has seen our movies and/or seen our music videos.

I find the vast majority of Hollywierd's pop-culture product to be disgustingly adolescent, vulgar and violent. Is it surprising to anyone that others judge us poorly based on the images exported by the movie makers.

It is beyond ironic that the Hollywood elite bemoan our lack of respect in the world, when they are the one's responsible for representing us in such a vile and degrading way.

While overseas I was often asked if "The everybody in the US is really like you see in the movies?" Most places have at least a couple of locally produced shows or movies so I would simply ask if everybody in their country was like I saw in their shows.

The answer was usually an indignant, "Of course not!" followed by an "oh!" as the light dawned.
