I like this quote - and it really applies to all Europeans...
"What's the main difference between a Russian and an American? An American passionately and with all his soul loves his country and his people, and is offended when any foreigner doesn't share his feelings. A Russian in the same way, with his whole soul hates his country and his people, but gets very offended when some foreigner shares his feelings..."

Actually, doesn't this describe the difference between the blue-staters and the red-staters? The liberals have the same feelings about their country as the Russians do about theirs.
