didja hear that joke about the old american that visited france?
he's asked for his passport by a french airport official who remarks, "you americans should know that when you come to france you have to show your passport".
the american replies, "the last time i was here was on omaha beach and there weren't any french men in sight".
Americans continue to cling to old verities of natural law and natural rights, not least of which is the supreme demand for government based on the consent of the governed. It is precisely the connection between consent on one hand and accountability and legitimacy on the other that causes Americans to prefer fealty to their Constitution over international organizations. We can hold George Bush (or Tom Daschle) accountable, but how can we hold accountable Kofi Annan or Hans Blix?...
Altogether, Europeans have effectively removed themselves from Christendom while surrendering their sovereignty and much of the basis of their liberty. It is Europeans who have stopped having children and who have instead opened the floodgates to a potentially decisive fifth column of anti-Western immigrants; Europeans who have adopted the historically novel view that diplomacy with tyrants can succeed in the absence of a credible threat of force.
Very well stated.
In summarizing the actions of our wondefrful ally France, he might have mentioned that 1970, four years after our Fed saved the Franc, DeGaulle prepared to redeem all the French dollar reserves for gold, thus emptying Ft. Knox and crashing the dollar on world markets.
To prevent this, President Nixon "closed the gold window" and set gold free to float in dollar values. That's why gold no longer costs 35$ an ounce, and why the dollar is still the reserve currency of the world.
It appears that the Wahabi/al Qaeda Islamofascists have used their wealth to destroy any core of morality left in Eurotrash land. Now, the Eurotrash will reap their bad seed harvest of adopting PCism and hating Christianity and Judaic beliefs.
"Altogether, Europeans have effectively removed themselves from Christendom while surrendering their sovereignty and much of the basis of their liberty. It is Europeans who have stopped having children and who have instead opened the floodgates to a potentially decisive fifth column of anti-Western immigrants; Europeans who have adopted the historically novel view that diplomacy with tyrants can succeed in the absence of a credible threat of force. And now it is Europeans who argue that Americans are the ones who have changed. This might be a good time for self-reflection among Europe’s elites, if they can spare a moment from their mourning."
I thought only about 56 million voted for sKerry? ;-)
Good article.
I truely do believe we are witnessing the fall of europe. They not only do not have the will to defend themselves, they actually do not see that they have anything to defend against. I don't think there is anything that can be done to save people who have lost their survival instincts.
Excellent article. Good read and makethinker.
Badda Bing. europe has discarded their Judeo-Christian values one at a time, and now are clueless without His guidance.

Consideration for a moral clarity and a nailed it! ping
Great read!
You Euroweenies have begun to get it. We have changed from a long, dark period of forty years of RAT-induced socialistic sleep brought on by RATs in charge all that time. Now they are no longer in charge and reality time is here. The bad guys are in deep doodoo and they know it. The euros may soon understand that Bush has the majority of the people behind him and he will do what he said he would do to terrorists and solve the RAT's social issues, Social Security as well as fixing the tax code once and for all. Whatta a relief!
