Don't Europeans know how to change the channel or put down a newspaper? That's what I do when I see one of their "leaders".

The truth is, Europe seems to be more tolerant and accepting of madmen like Saddam Hussein then they are of good people like President Bush. Is this ignorance or naivety on the part of European's? No! I say its willful behavior and a dangerous political position to take. When it comes to the safety of the American people and our homeland, these European socialists can't be trusted anylonger. We not only need to boot the UN out of the US, but we also need to reevaluate our relationships with all the nations of the world. Those nations who would rather appease international terrorism then confront it head on, aren't friends of the US.

You're either with us, or against us.

This certainly is odd.
Even the euroweenies can see the simple facts:

The definition of war in Islam is inseperably religion and secular cultural interests.

I can't help wondering how they can explain away that contradiction.

Behold the Anti-Christs. Why is it a shock to us that these countries who are actually socialists would say such things?

I've read about Canadians using his fundamentalist values as the reason for him going to war...doesn't bear repeating.

However, I need some comment from you guys so I can refute this http://www.hereinreality.com/familyvalues.html

""I believe George Bush's religious views are genuine," Cardinal Karl Lehmann, head of the German Bishop's Conference, told the Catholic weekly Rheinischer Merkur in an interview on Thursday. "But this careless way of using religious language is not acceptable anymore in today's world."

Here you have it, boys and girls.

Continental western Europe has become irrelevant. Their societies are in even more rapid decline than their languid economies. They have lost their moral center (the article admits as much), yet they turn their noses up at the values of the President of the most powerful nation on earth.

However, when we had a lying, slimy, rapist, traitorous bastard as President, they loved his sorry ass.

Europe, hear me and hear me well: Your priorities, your sense of "values" is so incredibly screwed up as to be beyond belief. Check the fruit on the tree, and see which society........your Godless one or our God-fearing one........is thriving. Then........just shut up. If we want your opinion, we'll ask you for it.

The disturbing thing for all these Euroweenies is that when George W. Bush invokes God, it is clear that Divine inspiration does appear to be on Bush's side. Therefore, when they come out with an anti-Bush tirade, they appear to be anti-religious also. Which they may very well be, but that is not something they want made public knowledge.

Humility is clearly not their strong suit.

Sounds to me like europe is becoming increasingly intolerant of religions and bigoted. Frankly, I think they are an immoral people with little to recommend them. They are dependent, lazy, intellectually dull and unimaginative. Other than that, they're pretty much on a lesser level then most of the other third world nations.

Now we understand the depth of hatred old Europe has for our president because:

He's a Republican
He's a Conservative
He's a Christian

Summing it up, he's NOT billyjeff

Now I see where the Copycrats get their anti-God, liberal, anti freedom, socialist, Godless beliefs from - Europe! Their one sided beliefs gave rise to this country; they always lookd down on us and now they are CHOCKING on their own BARFF! Talk about a degenerate society that is on the way out - it is they!

Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD , the people he chose for his inheritance.

Psalm 33:12

I have lived in Europe for 3 years. This is a post-Christian continent. Very few people regularly attend church of any kind, and they are usually the very old. When I was visiting America not too long ago, I noticed that you could almost feel the spirit if Christianity in some communities there...it was alive in every facet of the lives of the citizens. I believe the God has blessed America--may He continue to do so.

When they discover that Christians are not the pushovers they anticipate they become enraged. That's the sort of rage I see now in post-Christian Europe, as well as America.

Bingo ..... they think that 'turn the other cheek' means that Christians will roll over and take anything.

Religion to the French is like Garlic to a vampire.
As my French friend told me, 60% of the French are now atheist.

Exactly, and that should make Christians easy to manipulate. I love the look on their face as their anger wells up and they realize their double-dealing ruse didn't work.

GOD grates Europeans.

They prefer to think they are ABOVE HIM!

Bush grates Europeans as most anyone from Texas would and anyone with a backbone and sense enough to take honorable stands for RIGHT over wrong--well--something are just beyond the pale in terms of European sensibilities and comfort zones . . . Europeans including such a sizeable percentage of idiots etc.

Cowboys grate Europeans who consider their poop refined . . . which, I suppose it is . . . to a very coarse degree. But it still stinks.

Probably real life grates Europeans. They'd probably prefer to have slaves live it for them; send the checks from the colonies and avoid tracking mud in on the marble or parquet floors.
