The Brits are located in the Western European region, but they are not yet totally assimilated into the European Culture. The same goes for the Poles and the rest of Eastern Europe. However, you are what you hang with, and they are hanging with some of the most culturally decedent countries to pollute the earth. In the culture war that Europe started, you are either for us or against us. If we don't fight them, they will eventually destroy our culture and "enslave" us as they have themselves. I would rather deal with them now while we are strong, rather than to wait until they have infected our country with the vile virus of their 21 Century Arabia. They must be dealt with, and now is the time. They may eventually find that we have once again freed them from themselves.

How true. I have some relatives who were conservative and well-balanced until they spent 15+ years in Germany. Now they have left their faith and become anti-American idiots.

Happily, my two brothers who have lived in Norway since the '70s, have managed to maintain their conservative beliefs and ideals and, hopefully, have "rubbed off" on their neighbors.
