You remind me of the bozos who years ago said there was no difference between the US and the USSR. Or the ones who said there was no difference between authoritarian regimes and totalitarian ones. Critical thinking means we recognize differences. Moral equivalence or saying everything is the same is just intellectually lazy. If you want to believe that one power or another controls the media, then buy into the conspiracy. That’s for you, not smart people. Believe that FOX News is the same as CBS because Obama controls them, in your mind.
Here's a suggestion, how about attempting a concern approach, or even an appeal to authority? You know, such as: as a leading power, the US has global responsibilities, or, we need to allow the adults in the room to make critical decisions, or even, the republican system is dependent on enabling our "leaders" to act in the best interest of the public. I'm sure you get the idea; now get cracking!
As for your last pathetic attempt, perhaps I can provide a little constructive criticism so that you may perhaps be more effective in future posts.

The old us-them dichotomy is pretty shop worn. Especially since even the slowest mouth breathers realize the US no longer even pretends to follow any form of rule-of-law. You know, like (non) border protection, EO amendments to ACA, fast-n-furious, family destruction, IRS, NSA, etc, etc.

OK, so once you've established the set-up in the us-them quadrant, you resort to the very tired association of positive attributes, such as superior thinking ability and morality, with your assertion as to which nation is the best without any foundation as to that claim. See short list of current Constitutional violations above that comprises this validity.

Well, what can I say, other than you missed a whole string of pejorative expressions, such as unfounded allegations, wild assertions, fanciful thinking, paranoid delusions, projecting from weakness, etc, etc. And really, smart people=don't buy into conspiracy allegation? LOL. Sh!t, why not "Arbeit Macht Frei"? Obsolete, tired and used up.
Like I said above, you really need to re-work your act. It needs to be both more focused and more sophisticated. Perhaps you could arrange to have a poor gassed Syrian couple on Dancing with Stars? Or some recently dispossessed Nazi oops, Ukrainian, on 'Survivor - Russia'? With a tie-in to FB and Twitter feeds, you could monitor the sentiment of those jumping the line to send their kids off to another overseas war. Jeez, you could get really smarmy and claim it's "for the children".
The bottom line is, we live in a results oriented society, and you simply are not cutting the mustard. If my MIC derived dividend checks start suffering due to your pathetic incompetence, my Representative is going to be hearing from me.
