It has recently come to my attention that one can accurately determine the political ideology of a person or group by cherry-picking certain actions and/or beliefs of said person/group and comparing them to another person/group of your own particular choosing.
By using this new form of revelatory research I have come to the wild conclusion and can prove beyond a doubt that the USA currently suffers in the grip of a repressive Maoist regime.
Exhibit #1.
a) Mao Zedong was the brains behind and leader of an agrarian based revolution in China.

b) George W. Bush likes to spend time on a farm.

Exhibit #2.
a) Dick Cheney likes to adjourn to the property of a friend and takes pleasure in small, specially reared birds falling in great numbers before his weapon.

b) Mao Zedong liked to adjourn to his bedroom and took pleasure in small, specially reared birds falling in great numbers before his weapon.
I rest my case.
