For most of my lifetime there has been a contingent of American
politicians that deserve the handle, AINO (American in name only.)

While it was Superman, a comic character, who directly promoted the
idea of "Thruth, Justice, and the American Way, the popularity of the
ideal was reflected by the subscription to it, and the repetition of
that ideology that has seen very little reflected in actual practice by
the politicians and other oligarchy in the USA. However, the ideology
does exist, and there have been plenty of false claims by individuals
allegedly supporting it.

Those who I know or knew over the years deserving of the ANIO moniker
probably represent more than half of the people I've known. That's a
very sorry fact.
