Anti-Americanism Is Providing a Glue
LAT ^ | Sept. 22, 2006 | Paul Richter

The rhetoric from the leaders of Iran, Sudan and Venezuela at the U.N. shared a theme of outrage at the U.S., despite their differences.

The outpouring of anti-American rhetoric at the United Nations this week is demonstrating how anger at the United States is uniting the developing world in a way not seen since the 1980s, U.S. officials and analysts say.

Leaders such as Venezuela's Hugo Chavez, Sudan's Omar Hassan Ahmed Bashir and Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad are divided by background and political philosophies, but they spoke as one at the General Assembly regarding perceived U.S. bullying and misdeeds.

Anti-Americanism was the overarching theme last week in Havana at a 118-nation summit of the Non-Aligned Movement, whose headliners included Ahmadinejad, Chavez and Bolivian President Evo Morales. The leaders embodied a burgeoning spirit of defiance toward "the worldwide dictatorship by the United States," declared Cuban Vice President Carlos Lage Davila.

These little tinhorn dictators are only parroting the rhetoric of the DemocRATS and what they are reading and seeing in the western "news media." You can't blame them for the things they are saying. They are morons and are just saying the things they think Americans want to hear.

I expect him to be true to his real ideology, and I expect our government to know that.

Oh, I get it now. When we have Dem'crat Presidents, the world loves, or at least tolerates us. When we have Republican Presidents, the world turns in lockstep to hate, loath and despise us.

And people thought things were no longer simply black and white.

The underlying factor is, many agencies and governments across the world have as their intention, subversion of the goals of the United States, regardless of who is President. The difference is, Dem'crats won't do anything that is actually effective to counter these subversions, even though they stand out on the front lawn and loudly yell, "I'll call the sheriff on ya, ya buncha whippersnappers!" Then they go inside and find the phone line is cut. Or pretend to, when actually they have just left the phone off the hook.

Republican Presidents, on the other hand, have this uncomfortable habit of assuming the role of sheriff, and join in the pursuit of these drive-by assault teams that knock down our buildings, blow up our embassies, and generally thumb their noses at us, mistakenly believing that the Dem'crat President is still in charge.

The Dem'crat ex-President, of course, does nothing to correct this misconception, and in fact, on a one-man diplomatic mission overseas, actively encourages that continued error of interpretation, which is widely reported outside the US.

While you're at it, send it's foot-soldiers the LAT, the WP and the NYT with it. I'm sick and tired of the anti-American rant from these socialist propaganda mills.

The liberals and leftists in this country are in agreement with this anti-American rhetoric.
