Targetted? Your system allows for it via your 1st Amendment, amongst other things. Your system is broken, perverted and skewed out of all recognition from the "Founding Fathers" (sic) doctrine of god, country and a primitive view of equality which did not stretch to women or, eventually, slaves. It's not semantics, it's part of a wider picture about a flawed Western democracy which sets itself up as the exemplar, yet falls at the first post: inclusiveness.
