When a commentator such as Terry Wogan can practically predict outcome of voting based on who are neighbouring countries to vote giver, you immediately know that something is wrong. Also, did anyone notice that Britain's entry was more Turkish in sound than Turkish entry?.

Russia, France, Greece, Hungary, Turkey and UK all had quite reasonable and catchy songs with good presentation. However, voting of our new neighbours in Europe leaves a bad taste in mouth. Almost to a man they voted with their neighbours in order to maximise their winning potential and score levels. The whole escapade was as embarassing as it was predictable.

No, I cannot and will not bring myself to watch another Eurovision Song Contest. Good though he may be, even Terry Wogan has overstayed his welcome. Its time we collectively snubbed this farce and moved on.

Dogged by political symbolism and ruined by vote rigging controversy, this is one awful singing tournament that has become a world embarassment. We should get out now and leave this camp, flamboyant, kiss my ass contest to East Europeans and Greek and Cyprus.

Let me tell you why this is a prime example of American Ideological Imperialism.

Jackson and his ilk have an ideology of what should and should not be said when referring to people of black color. Or, for that matter, what should be said, thought, or felt. He is here in Mexico, right now, "extending his rule over Mexico with his political orientation that advocates imperial interests".

Jackson's imperial interest: Force rest of world to adhere to his African-American Political Correctness. Do you see this? Are you getting what I am trying to say? Jackson, Sharpton, and their organizations are not alone.

American Ideological Imperialism applies to Jackson and Sharpton blacks, Gay Agenda Activists, Feminists, Abortionists, you name it—if there exists an American ideology about ANYTHING there will someone trying to force it down throats of rest of world.

This is a major reason, I believe, why world hates America! Why can't America get that? America engages in Ideological Imperialism, they will not stop, and rest of world recognizes this as height of super-arrogance.

Americans apparently believe that their views, and no one else's, on issues of race, homosexuality, economics, terrorism, Mexican migrant workers, immigration, Homeland Security, feminism, and whatever else under sun are only right views!

"It's my way or highway!"

And they seek to ram their ideology of human existence down throats of world—a.k.a. Jesse and Al, in Mexico. God only know what they are saying!

Ideological Imperialism—memorize it!
