Why is this article on SOTT?

I think this one might have slipped in by accident:

Let me say thank you for all the unpaid work SOTT editors do on the SOTT site. This article has a strange feel to it, and I was thinking it was put in by accident or something.

Hi Patience,

Why do you say that it was slipped in by accident? What's so strange about it?

Maybe it is showing different perspectives on the US becoming a "Third World" nation?

Hi Patience,

I posted the 2nd post before seeing your question...

Well... The whole "Muslims taking over Europe and the world" meme is in there. That is an axiom for the Palin-type Christians who are expecting a 3rd world war based on a clash of western vs. muslim cultures.

Also the "America losing its greatness" meme is in there with all of its implicit "America as the great defender of freedom" baggage. Something which was never true from the Native American stand-point. Most of the time articles with those memes don't make it to SOTT unless they offer some pretty strong lateral confirmation of some other important point. I don't see much lateral confirmation of anything else in this article unless it be the confusion that reigns in the US at the moment.

These 2 memes stood out so strongly without offering any interesting information on anything else that I just thought the article slipped in by accident somehow. I don't like to criticize because I sure ain't doing anything on SOTT, and the ones who are do a great job. The thorough job they do is one reason I thought this article might be an accident.
