I think I should reconsider borrowing you money...

Bttt, from the view of my ´fellow´ anti-Bush-Europeans, it reads as follows: Bush is evil, Americans are friendly, but dumb, Bush has spent more money during the campaign = dumb Americans re-elect ´Mr. Evil´. That´s how they can say that they hate Bush, but not Americans. Indeed, it was a major shock for them when they realized that Bush won also the popular vote.

It´s so simple, when you only write, read and watch what you believe in, you never have to think about your own position.

I understand that view very well, and it is my point.
We are not dumb, and that viewpoint earns you shock after shock.
BYW, the KERRY campaign and 527s raised MORE money that Bush's, so tell THAT to your "fellow" anti-Bush/anti/American EUs.

We feel that most Europeans are not only NOT friendly, but ignorant. (not dumb, but you do have little access to pro capitalist viewpoints and are not educated to address these issues fairly or cogently)

Please clarify. That could be meant 2 ways.

My grandfather on my mother's side remained in Germany (Hamburg) and did not survive the bombings that my father participated in. (Pilot & officer/Army Air Corps)

I've spent many years in Europe, and have acquired a healthy disrespect for all things Socialist, including most of the respective countries of the EU and many of their constituents who harbor an ill concealed contempt for Americans and their intellect.

And that did not just come upon me. You earned it.

Feel free. :)

Well, of course, since there is NO Conservative Media to speak of in Europe, what would one expect people to think?

Quite true. If you don't keep in touch with what both sides are saying, you really can't know what's going on. Like you said, it's very simple.
