Time to start looking to Asia where economic prosperity will grow. Europe is dying, time to move on.
This is the usual kind of trash we’ve come to expect from the New York Times “The paper of misinformation”. Let’s just say for the moment that the US should actually consider the delicate sensibilities of the EU elites. Perhaps President Bush should prostrate himself before the wise and enlightened leaders of the EU. Perhaps we should exclaim our profound thanks for their wise council, their all inspiring gifted insights into the world around us. Then again, perhaps not!
I particularly liked the part about an EU seat on the UN Security Council. Not an issue, as long as France and England are willing to give up theirs in exchange for the EU seat, after all one country one vote? And, of course, pay their fair share of the UN’s bloated budget!
Frankly, we do need to listen to the foreign policy desires of the EU bureaucrats as much as we need the advice of Saddam bin-Ladden. Frankly, why does the New York Times think that the US president should listen to the wishes of a bunch of EU flunkies?
Perhaps it’s time we start playing by their game! Perhaps we should insist, as the worlds only super-power, that the UN adopt the US Bill Of Rights as a replacement for it’s dysfunctional declaration of human rights, or we’ll veto every UN resolution until they comply. Perhaps we should also withhold all but humanitarian aid to any country that fails to adopt and enforce the US Bill Of Rights for its entire people.
Anyway, just my thoughts….
Our national character regarding Europe is pretty simple. WE are the people who woke up in some crappy little Eurotrash town one morning - stood on our porches - looked up the street - looked down the street and said to ourselves "You know, there has to be someplace I can go on this planet and not be surrounded by all these stupid, f$@#ing a$@holes."
Two months later, we were on a boat to America.
It's really simple to understand so what's the problem? I don't care what Europe thinks. My dad doesn't care. His dad didn't care. His dad didn't care. And HIS dad hated your freaking guts. Hated you enough to throw all caution to the wind, give away everything except what he could carry and leave that stinky little porta-potty you call a country behind forever.
So shut up already.
It's not that we hate you still. It's that we just don't care.
