Thank you for the reply.

Did you note the title and the point of this thread?

>It is important to understand that modern American conservatism has no equivalent in Europe and has never been accepted as legitimate in European intellectual circles, which are monolithically both secular and liberal. There is no National Review or Weekly Standard, no talk radio personalities or Fox News to challenge the liberal orthodoxy. Serious ideological diversity among think-tanks and political foundations in any European country is negligible.

My four cornered friend, that is the very definition of ignorance, and it is right on point.

Are you seriously going to dispute the material quoted?

Or are we having a language misunderstanding about the difference between "dumb" and ignorant?"

My guess is YOU have a language misunderstanding, because you probably interpreted things in my post I did not say. Regarding my "wholeheartly disagreement" I solely disputed your claim that Europeans are not friendly. I don´t doubt (from my own very personal experience) that a small majority is ignorant. However, there are conservative foundations and parties, the problem is just the media.
