There is. Don't ally with it.

This empire they've constructed is neither moral, nor good for Americans, nor good for the world, nor is it even sustainable. Unfortunately, that's not going to change until we wake up and realize how badly we're being lied to. Propaganda is a powerful tool. It's not just Fox but much of the mainstream media is complicit. There's a huge portion of my fellow Americans who are appallingly misinformed about what the facts are. They live in an alternate reality where there where Saddam has ties to Al Qaida, there are death panels in health care reform and tax cuts for the rich create job growth and pay for themselves (a strategy that has been tried and failed for 30 years now). To ironically paraphrase Jesus, "forgive us world, we know not what we do."
Atheist Forums Hall of Shame:
"The trinity can be equated to having your cake and eating it too." ... -Lucent, trying to defend the Trinity concept "(Yahweh's) actions are good because (Yahweh) is the ultimate standard of goodness. That’s not begging the question" ... -Statler Waldorf, Christian apologist
America is not spectacular... But it's still better than Somalia.

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
what did Doug Stanhope say? "America being the best is like being the best waitress at Denny's... Just because you're the best doesn't mean you don't have a LOT of work ahead of you..."

But it's still better than Somalia. Au contraire,parts of America are indeed spectacular.Mainly some of the bits in which there are no Americans. Most countries are the same.Humans fuck up a place faster and more thoroughly than any other animal. Haven't been to Africa,but Somalia is not place I intend visiting before I die. Sounds like a pretty good place to be from.---which is how a native son once described Buffalo New Jersey to me,and how I would describe Melbourne.
Clearly I am making a sweeping generalisation here.

All of New Jersey is a good place to "be from," Padilove... Or as a Jersey boy I once knew said "I grew up there, but if I could pour gas on the whole state and throw a match on the way out..."
