Laura Ingraham PING!

[Choose Ye This Day]

Please let me know if you would like to be on or off the Laura Ingraham PING list.

[Keith]

How has she remained single? She is hotter than Ann Coulter...it's not the looks, it's the attitude. You go, Laura...

[Choose Ye This Day]

I'm not sure I agree with Laura that Kerry won't ever adopt the stance that the U.S. has too much power. He's campaigning as if he believes that. I believe he WANTS to give up sovereignty in certain areas. Doesn't he favor the International Court system, etc.?

[Choose Ye This Day]

As Mark Steyn so ably put it, referring to our differences with Europe:

"You can't 'mend bridges' when the opposite bank is sinking into the river. The death of Europe in its present form is a given."

Great article. Ingraham is up there with the best.
But "Shut up and Sing" is a stupid sounding title for a book.

[Porterville]

I still don't understand why we didn't give Western Europe to Russia in exchange for the Eastern Block. They seem more straight forward then the french and Krauts. So who really cares? At least Russia would stick a boot in the butt of weasels like Chirac.

The Euros didn't need help in squandering their good will. After the first emotional response they were back to the "Bush as cowboy" whine as if nothing had happened to change anything after 9/11.

Our relationship with Europe is like a husband discovering he and his wife have a marriage in name only and the things that brought them together as a couple have changed. We and the Europeans are in the process of getting divorced due to irreconcilable differences and we'll be happier our own remaining true to ourselves and our values. We'll never get the Europeans to love us but we can win and maintain their respect.

[Dolphy]

But can any individual or any party significantly improve our relations with Europe?

No, not from a conservative's standpoint. But certainly anyone willing to allow the UN or European leadership to determine our priorities and interests would change current attitudes.

[Lancey Howard]

But can any individual or any party significantly improve our relations with Europe?

Sorry, Laura, but that's not the question.
The question is one that the euro-scum need to ask themselves - - is there anything we can do to improve our relations with America?

Other than that, Europe can drop dead.

[Lancey Howard]

[eddie willers]

Our problems with Europe result from the fact that Europeans strongly believe two things: (1) Israel is in the wrong in the Middle East, and (2) the United States has too much power. No president, Democrat or Republican, is going to give in on either of those points. Not even John Kerry.

Wow!

Now THAT is an undeniable truth!

[Starve The Beast]

For his part, Sen. John Kerry ...promises to rebuild the bridges to Europe...

...It is conventional wisdom in some circles that Europe and the U.S. were much closer during the Clinton Administration.

This has been remarked upon. The trouble is that this is tantamount to saying that the Europeans get to decide who our president is. "We'll be your friends if you elect who we say."

Lemme think about it, Pierre. I'll get back to you.

[My2Cents]

Memo to John Kerry: WE DON'T WANT TO PARTNERS WITH EUROPE! Europe is the center of decay in the West. Our ancestors (the ancestors of most of us, that is) LEFT Europe to get away from its social, political, and secular rot!

If we want to do what is right in the world, watch Europe, and do exactly the opposite!

[benjaminjjones]

Something about Ingraham just strikes me as wrong. I don't quite know what it is though.

I'll occasionally switch over to her if I'm driving and Savage starts into his all-too-frequent screaming rages.

I did that tonight and she was pounding some liberal to pieces. Not that I mind that she pounds on liberals, it's just that I don't need to have to listen to their lies in the meantime.

Plus there's something else, intangible, that bugs me about her personality.

Maybe I'm just a Coutler-mo. Coulter seems like less of a B_tch, just as smart, prettier in my opinion, and, if you're not an enemy (liberal), a nicer lady.

And did us no good at all

"No amount of turbo-diplomacy can make the leadership of countries do what is not in their leadership's self-interest."

........This was heralded as a sign of "a thaw" in our frosty relations with France.
