This is a lot like something I told a girl in Stockholm, Sweden. She was talking about how Americans scare her because we are always waving flags and implying that we were like Nazis. I told her that I was tired of Europeans telling me we were too nationalist, then that we down our own culture, that we were too imperialist, but then we don't get involved in the world, that we were too religious, and that we were too decadent, etc. I finished my "America is too..." conversation with Anti-Americanism is the religion of our time.


Of course Stein articulates it all the better.

Stein makes me proud in that I am also what on of his [Cheese-eating surrender monkey] countrymen once called "a limey-bred bastard!" I'm an American who was born in New Zealand and who, like most converts, Steyn included, is more American than most Americans.

I travel insanely [More than an equivilent 650 global circumnavigations, over 180,000 nautical miles so far this year and at least two trips planned befor the end of December] but discreetly and anonymously and, because I sound like a New Zealander, get to hear the world's opinion of our nation raw and unfiltered.

And the world, sad, for its sake, to say, pathologically hates us.

Anti-American hatred is such that my anger grows by the day -- as my tolerance erodes. I am really fed to the teeth with dead and decadent hesperophobic ingrates like those Mark Steyn writes about here and your aquaintance in Sweden, not one of whom would be free without America's willing sacrifices of blood and treasure, laying their delusionally-fantasized fevered froth and foam-flecked self-loathing and every other of the world's other self-made ills in our most generous of nation's lap.

I've given up. It's down to we make the world safe for US -- or be liked.

Thank God we have an administration comprised of adults with courage enough and integrity and the moral certitude to understand that our nation's survival -- and Human Civilization's -- is not a popularity contest!
