I think it is fair to say that most americans do not share Lyle's views and mentality. I know for sure the majority of them I have met don't. We have our share of agenda driven lying politicians here, just like the rest of the world. Thing is though, we aren't afraid to call them out on their bullshit. I thought that was our job seeing we put them there.

Most of the ones I have met are fairly decent people, and don't tend to clump everyone and everything into little agenda oriented boxes of 'right' and 'wrong', 'my way or the highway'.

I doubt many of them would say,."Stupid useless Canadians"...much like I wouldn't say, "Stupid useless Americans". And we generally can agree that there is more to good people, then their countries current political agenda and mission.

Try telling that to a sheep though. It will just sit there and chomp it's food and make goofy noises.
