You state disinformation and you quote wiki?
Touche' - however, like the original piece of satire which started this thread - it isn't all disinformation - but a reader has to be able to pick through the proverbial wheat and chaff (as with any source) to locate the wheat in order to produce a valid conclusion or offer a valid opinion - something many seem either unable or unwilling to attempt.

I'm an American and believe I simple things, like working for my money and not taking hand outs. I believe the rule of law should apply to everyone. I don't believe 20 million illegal aliens deserve a free ride, free education or free medical services. I don't believe in wealth redistribution. I believe in a flat tax that would solve this country's current crisis. I believe in term limits. I believe if you drown a girl you should not be buried in Arlington National Cemetery. Simple things.
I am, too, and agree with what you've stated - except with the idea of the necessity for more legislated term limits other than those already in place [e.g., POTUS/VP, various state executive (36)/legislative (15) bodies] because I would argue that term limits for Congress do - in fact - exist...every time the voting public exercises their right to use them whenever they vote.
