    The damn thing isn't helping find Evil Dewers (tm). I hasn't promoted freedom or democracy to any oil rich Arab nations.

    The only people who use it are a bunch of aethist science guys, who only use science to undermine the rich Christain heritage of this fine country. Hell, who put that thing up there any? Probably Hillary Clinton behind the whole thing.
