"But what about the great men with names like Lafayette, Rochambeau, d’ Estaing, DeGrasse, L’Enfant, La Rouërie, even Johann Baron de Kalb, a Bavarian born soldier who held a commission in the French Army ... "

Are any of them still living?

It's always entertaining when you have to go back more than two centuries to find honorable French soldiers.

Seriously, the impression that the French gave that they want the Americans to butt out of everything because only they have the correct answer - oh, and by the way, could you expand your base?

So, yeah, I can easily find lots of people who live in France to call friend, and have as well. But their just as hateful of the insane socialists that are working to destroy not only their country, but the entire demi-state of Europe.

Oh, and we're still pissed about their refusing overflight rights to attack Libya.

What about them? Where are they?

Now that you mention it, what about Americans like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin?

We live in a different world. It does not embrace us. In fact, it loathes us. Why? Because we made it and they didn't.

What have you done for me lately not only reflects the mentality of welfare state America, but pathetic countries whose leaders dine on American foreign largesse while they diss us, to use a phrase that you may be familiar with.

More then repaid by saving their butts in 2 World Wars, the Cold War and the War on Terror. BTW, the French were not fighting for the USA, they were fighting their traditional enemies the English for World Empire. We were just a handy excuse.
