I quote a sign I saw once on an Anti Westboro Baptist church protester's photo.

I have seen that but it's significance eluded me.

It does have a good point though.
These polarised Good Vs Evil movies are rubbish, they lead right into the hands of theistic garbage.
We need more movies and shows that blur these lines.
XMen is good as you get to see that Magneto and Professor X are on the same side but have different philosophy, not evil, but fighting a war of survival.
Heroes also made it difficult to work out who was bad.

We often take this movie BS into real world scenarios, Osama, Saddam etc were evil and the good American's were justified in war to fight Evil.

Any outside observers here who subscribe to the USA being "good"?

Nope. 

These fundie idiots need to take a good look at Leviticus among other books that Jesus the jew was passing off as god's word.  Physicians, heal thyselves.

Of course, the magic done before the trial, beating and subsequent crucifixion of a Jew...and then...the magic he invokes to never really sacrifice himself and stay alive is a great thing of non fiction to read.

Not I.
I have thought for the longest time how evil and hypocritical America is. They try to justify all their actions as patriotic. How is that any different from muslim extremists? e_e

There are many people from the USA that I like, but I can't say that I'd want to live there any time soon. I'm also not naive enough to believe that all of their foreign policy is as noble as they'd like to claim, but, then again, how many countries' are?

I wont read the website cayuse I have a bad habit of teeth grinding
anyway what I find extremely ironic is that tolkien was a christian himself, his stories are the classical good vs evil and he even used some christian references in his books

Since you didn't read the article I will point out that they say, "Jackson being the self-proclaimed Atheist he is obviously doesn't want to present this movie in the way it was meant by Tolkien.".

They also say that they brought everyone from 'Middle-earth' back from the dead, but this is a freaking prequel gah.

Also I'm American and if I didn't have family here I would get out ASAP. I have a feeling of bad things for our country very soon, especially with NDAA passing and the possibility that PIPA and SOPA will pass. Though the last two affects everyone.

Which calls me to widen my question a little:

Any inside observers here who think the USA* is good, possibly even have a foam number one finger stashed away somewhere?

*Refers not only to the US government, but the standards of living, safety etc. etc. The whole package, in other words.
