A not particularly bright new poster has begun vomiting on our little neck of the woods. I’ve been thinking of pitting him for days, but wasn’t pushed over the edge until today. 90% of his posts are rants against the “Amerikan gummint” and how evil and oppressive it is. The latest gem is from a GD thread discussing [whether parents should be able to know what books their kids check out from the library.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&postid=4199306#post4199306) > [@](#): > > Amerikan parenting is child abuse > Poor parents! It takes them so long to realize that their kids are not their property. Thank Darwin for the WWW, which will soon spell the demise of public libraries and permit kids access to whatever the hell it is they want to read or view. It will also save taxpayers all that wasted money… > > Check out your copy of the US Constitution. Every person is guaranteed the right to liberty, and no age is specified.

Not to mention this gem > [@](#): > > Worldwide pollution… > but damn if all these stories don’t make me feel sorry for all those men who put up with the episiotomies, belly scars, hemorrhoids, lactating breasts, cracked nipples, inattention and the ultimate rejection. I feel sorry for myself as well, since my tax dollars support this emasculation, female exploitation and worldwide pollution. This guy has some issues. And by the way [claims to be a](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=220878) “a nuclear physicist skilled in ICBM delivery.” Yeah, right. ---

So he doesn’t like the American government. What do you think, this is “God’s country”? It is possible for someone to have a validly negative opinion of us. ---

Hey, of course it’s OK to disparage the US if you want, and if we banned everybody who’d done it, we’d have about three people left 😉 But it’s the WAY he does it, like some kid who is Filled with The Revelation That There is HYPOCRISY IN THE WORLD AND HE IS THE ONLY ONE WHO KNOWS THE TRUTH!! "The USSA’? “Amerika”? Puhlease. And he also boasts that he’s defrauding the Social Security Administration, welfare, etc., which makes him a jerk no matter what his politics. He’s like Holden Caulfield’s Marxist semi-literate little brother. ---

That’s what the “USSA” thing refers to, right? I don’t get why he is using it in a derogatory fashion? IT DOESN’T MAKE SENSE AND NOW MY BRAIN HURTS! KHAN! ---
