I have a few European friends, and and as individuals my friends are really nice people. In general though, I've pondered what Americans, specifically American conservatives, admire about Europeans.
Not much, of substance anyway. There is good beer there, and terrific cheese, great bread, and of course lovely wine....the alps are gorgeous. All in all a lovely climate. Some great castles there--Germany builds great cars, and the French and Italians have lots of cutting edge style.
However of continental Europeans themselves, since WWI and II, I really can't say there's anything particular in character to admire. I do admire generally (though not as much as earlier) the work ethic of the Germans...but really, honestly, other than that, I can't say what, in terms of inner points of character to admire about Europeans.
I'm not sure the Euros know the fact that we as Americans by and large, other than consumables and cars, simply respect and admire them very little.
I'm tired of hearing liberals tell us that the world hates us and we should be worried. It's the world that should be worried if Americans start hating them back.
Dont worry. Its quite obvious to most people.
