Italy's Silvio Berlusconi or the late Jorg Haider in Austria proved that crude sloganeering and appeals to the gut rather than the intellect were as common in Europe, despite the self-regarding belief of Europeans that their political life is conducted on a higher plane than in America.

Is he implying that obama appeals to the intellect? Although he SOUNDS intellectual, his campaign is totally devoid of intellect. He flips his stances, he promises abstract goals such as 'hope' and 'change' with no details of what these are and how he will achieve them. He changes his numbers on who is rich. He 'forgets' to tell his people the Bush tax cut will die. And they are so intellectual, they notice NONE of this. He does not appeal to the mind or the gut. He appeals to the "heart."

Obama, it's "Mind first, heart second."

Yeah, we should remember that they’re always there when they need us, right?

You have made many great points.

Without the USA where would Japan, Germany and South Korea be today?

France took the easy way out waiving the white flag to any “oppressors”.

If you look at the leaders of these Countries today each as elected a conservative President who will fight the WOT.

And they all look to the USA as to where their economic future is headed.

God Bless America.

Despair not seen since the 1920s and 1930s and 1940s when Fascism swept over Spain, Italy, Germany, France...?

Not since the 1920s and 1930s and 1940s and 1950s and 1960s and 1970s and 1980s and 1990s when Communism held millions under it's thumb?

This is stuning.

Europeans would elect Adolf Hitler if he came packaged as a rock star.

They did, sort of.

I absolutely loved it when the Fox producer attempted to interview Bill Ayers at his home.

The old communist told him to “get off my PROPERTY.”

Ayers is a commie until he needed his daddy’s money and lawyers and embraces the concept of “private property” when it suits him.

I’d love to be locked in a room with him.

Europe needs to stand up and rely upon themselves. The United States needs to cut these leeches off.

Keeping troops on the ground in Europe isn’t fooling the Russians, and who cares if collectively, the Europeans can’t defend themselves. The continent was laid to waste in the 1940s, and it can be done again should the Russians try to move west.

It’s time the Europeans, Japanese, and Koreans stop relying on the United States for their defense. 60 years is long enough.

Since the signing of the Declaration of Independence Europe has had general contempt for America — they are happy to sell us stuff, watch our movies, TV shows and listen to our music, they will take advantage of our technological advances, and we are always expected to bail them out financially and militarily — but aside from this they despise us.

“Who cares what the Europeans think?

The Germans love Obama and they loved Hitler too.”

Ha! You are so right about that.
