Ameicans do not have to be insulted by the likes of the FRENCH SOCIALIST GOV., or British Socialist, because we defend ourselves. Your statement is a perfect example of the go along to get along attitude that permeates the lefties. Since when is defending yourself "ignorant, isolationist, and arrogant."
I am not talking about defending yourself I am saying that people on both sides of the pond read a headline then say of all Americans are bad or all French are idiots.
Just because a Socialist is British does not mean the whole country is bad.
