Re: your point #1:

>>1. Keep the letter SHORT. Limit 300 words? Keep it under 200 (I strive for 150 or less) and your chances are improved.

Who was it - Churchill? Mencken? - who wrote: "I am sending you a long letter, as I don't have time to send you a short one"?

Thanks for posting. Steyn tells it like it is, brilliantly. I hope the rest of the continent wakes up before it's too late.

No surprising. Socialists don't know about honor/dishonor. They just want a free ride.

[Mr. Buzzcut]

Dunno, but that's a great line!

We have been providing security for that entire continent since WWII,they do not know how to react to being pushed.

Contrast Spain,etc. to Poland,the Poles know you have to fight for your freedom,and what can happen if you don't.

Today you can send them a white feather.

France is a good ally for China. Apparently they will hold Naval Maneuvers together in an attempt to thwart democracy in Taiwan.

Euro-Peon

From now on, it is 2 words.

[GeronL]

I have been calling them Euro-Peons for years. I am glad to see I am not alone. May it spread.

I remember seeing it in the American Spectator,when it first came out in the late Eighties,or early Nineties.

I like it,it fits like a comfortable beret.

There are people living and working in the United States - those with European mentalities - that scoff at the United States and at President Bush, insulting this country while taking in the benefits this country gives them. But these people and the countries they love and support have no concept what it means to be an American. They have no understanding of the Bill of Rights, our Constitution, our heritage. Actually, Germany was the first when the current cowardly leader won re-election on an anti-American platform. The terrorist's will strike at Italy next, then Britain. Eventually, we will have to go it alone and either we will be overcome or a leader will rise up that will be the SOB we need and start playing hardball.
