This passes for reason?
Sure, Lenin the Man was a violent sociopath, catalyst for wholesale slaughter across half the world. But Lenin the Public Artwork is a beautifully crafted sculpture, and a catalyst for healthy discourse.
I don't know about you. But I would rather live with Mexicans than Algerians. At least Mexicans make good food and they won't blow me up. Plus they love to party.
Being jealous of #1 is nothing remotely new. If Great Britain were still the dominant world force today, they would view things largely the way we do, and everyone else would vent on them instead of us.
It was that way 100 years ago. Remember it was the British purpose to "civilize" the world.
They should see my pictures of the French ... and Seattlites.

You obviously have never been to France. Southern France is beautiful, with great weather.
As far as Mexico, if given the choice of living in the south of France or Mexico, I'd take France any day.
My choice would be living on the coast in Marseille, you can have Tijuana or Mexico city. It's a deal brother.
Actually I went to Paris in 2002, but I didn't stay there long before vacationing in Spain. I thought Paris was nice, I did like the city and they had excellent food and I enjoyed Notre Dame. However, I did not like the French attitude at the airport because they were having a strike that day.

I have not been to Mexico, but I have been to San Diego which is close enough to Tijuana.

Deal. At least I don't have to speak French and I do know a little bit Sspanish.
San Diego is the shinning city on the hill compared to the nightmare that is Mexico.

Most all the French know English, as opposed to most Mexican's that refuse to learn.
It's a deal!!
I've been to France, and I've lived in Texas for over 20 years. You can have France, and I'll take Texas.
At a college reunion in Spokane several years ago, I was asked by a Seattle alum, "how does it feel to be back in God's country?"
I replied, "after living in Texas for 20 years, Texas is God's country to me."
With a look of disgust from the Seattle alum, the conversation ended frostily.
I guess you've never enjoyed the Texas countryside in the spring, when the bluebonnets and wildflowers are in full bloom.

Actually we were comparing living in France to Mexico. But since you brought it up, Taking politics out of the equation, I'll take the south of France on coast in Marseille, you can have Houston.
I'll take that deal too!
Amen. Texas Hill Country in the Spring. It's a wonderful sight.
Is it really that bad?
Yes.
To repeat a joke that appeared on the WA message board today:
...and God Created Washington
Once upon a time in the Kingdom of Heaven, God went missing for six days.
Eventually Michael the Archangel found him, resting on the seventh day. He inquired of God, "Where have you been?"
God sighed a deep sigh of satisfaction and proudly pointed downwards through the clouds, "Look, Michael. Look what I've made."
Archangel Michael looked puzzled and said, "What is it?"
"It's a planet," replied God, "and I've put Life on it. I'm going to call it Earth and it's going to be a great place of balance."
"Balance?" Inquired Michael, still confused.
God explained, pointing to different parts of the Earth, "For example, northern Europe will be a place of great opportunity and wealth but cold and harsh while southern Europe is going to be poor but sunny and pleasant. I have made some lands abundant in water and other lands parched deserts. This one will be extremely hot and dry while that one will be very cold and covered in ice."
The Archangel, impressed by God's work, then pointed to a land mass and said, "What's that one?"
"Ah," said God. "That's Washington -- the most glorious place on earth! There are beautiful beaches, streams, hills, and forests. The people from Washington are going to be handsome, modest, intelligent and humorous and they are going to be found traveling the world. They will be extremely sociable, hardworking and high achieving, and they will be known throughout the world as diplomats and carriers of peace."
Michael gasped in wonder and admiration but then proclaimed, "What about balance, God? You said there would be balance!"
God simply replied, "Wait until you see the jerks and misfits I put in Seattle and Olympia."
Would Tacoma be one of the more conservative cities?
The Tacoma area has a high population of retired military personnel...manning the outpost in Indian territory.
In other words, yes
Funny how the libs get all worked up about the soldiers this, the soldiers that, look at the moral of our soldiers, soldiers are getting killed...
and it turns out most soldiers vote republican
And cross their fingers when forced to shake hands with a New York Senator.
I seem to remember that. Have you read "The Truth About Hillary"? I've only read about the first 70 pages but it's quite interesting.
No, I'm affraid (or glad) I haven't read it. I don't need any more convincing regarding that witch. By the way, there are several active threads that show the photo of the soldier with his fingers crossed.
Bttt
