What's wrong with America?
11/09/2009 | WesternCulture

Posted on 11/08/2009 7:37:33 PM PST by WesternCulture

Seriously,

Why do America think it rules the Earth?

It does not.

My home country, Sweden, has 9 million inhabitants and we rule Europe, aka the largest economy on the planet.

Test me.

Does a Koenigsegg embarrass a Lamborghini or what..

China, the US as well as Germany are loosers in the game of industrial achievments compared to my "little" nation.

Why is it so hard for you to manufacture real world products?

We’ve got aircraft carriers, and you’ve got girls. What’s not to like about that?

"“China, the US as well as Germany are loosers in the game of industrial achievments compared to my “little” nation.”"

We lit up and gave communications to the world.
Read my screen name.

And that thing your ranting on while hooked to the Internet.

Where did you say that came from?

IKEA furniture is filling up our local landfill.

I went to an IKEA store once, you have to follow a little trail through the place. What a joke!!

I’ll give you a hint, last November’s elections. That’s what’s wrong.

Sorry, have to disagree with you. Our troubles didn't start with BHO, they merely reached a peak with him. Our troubles started about 1930, when our ancestors let FDR take a good deal of our freedom from us. Actually we could go back earlier, when our ancestors let the income tax become law. We have been becoming a nation of communists for a long time, and now we must do something about it.

Why do America think it rules the Earth? To quote Dennis Leary: "Two words... nuclear f'n weapons!"

“...neither of which would keep your nation from being squashed by about 50 other countries if they decided that they had heard one too many ABBA songs.”

Amen. Next time I hear “Dancing Queen,” I’m invading.

"I think the Connecticut National Guard is bigger than the Swedish Army..."

The US Armed forces spends more on Paper Clips than Sweden spends on their entire Defense Budget.

Last I heard, the Kingdom of Tonga was the ruler of all waters and lands, including Sveden.

“Sweden could become Paradise, all it takes is some cleansing from Socialism and Islam.”

And some global warming. Lots of it.

P.S. - If you cleaned out the socialism, would there be anything left?

That's not really a good thing, if you think about it.
