David Warren: U.S. No Longer Cares What Others Think (Payback is a…)

"...until someone has invented a more pretentious expression..."

I give you... Europeasers. I just thought it up, but then I found three prior uses of it at google... all dinky blogs. Consider it now in the public domain.

That is a fantastic idea! U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.!

[Grampa Dave]

From the new awakened American Street to the French street, German Street, Belgium Street, Russian Street and Arab Street.

STFU! WE DON'T CARE WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY ANYMORE! TRY TO TRASH US AND YOU WILL BE TAKEN OUT WITH THE TRASH AS WE SWEEP YOUR STREETS!

You are probably right about Dims taking this page out of the Dubya book - and we already know that Clinton got objections from our side over aspirin factory bombings and lobbing a few cruise missles at Bin Laden's camels.

I doubt that algore would have screwed up enough courage to invade Iraq.

You are welcome.

Not that I owe you an explanation, but it so happens that I have a pretty good command of the language and with few exceptions, when I misuse grammar, it is quite intentional.

[George W. Bush]

Only if that feminist consultant who coached on AlGore how to be an alpha male would gave him permission to invade Iraq and pending her efforts to find him some stylish new alpha-male-commander-in-chief wardrobe accessories.

Oh, hell, forget it. Even the Chinese backers and all the trial lawyers in the world don't have deep enough pockets to finance such a personality implant and a spine into AlGore.

Actually, Gore wouldn't be that unlikely to enjoy a shot at conducting a war. Clinton's semi-successful Kosovo foray got himself some credit (in weak-minded circles). And Clinton certainly showed that bombing an aspirin factory can help to successfully distract the voters for a key period. Gore wouldn't be quite the insult to the troops that Klinton was. Gore at least understands military protocol and was not the utter moral bankrupt that Klinton was. Of course, Gore fought in Floriduh to exclude their votes so he could win. The majority of the military were Bush voters so they would be hard for Gore to win trust from. But Gore might win even them over with increased funding.

You know, Gore or Gephart or Lieberman are a lot less threatening than Kerry. And Hillary is far worse. And Howard Dean and Al Sharpton probably frighten many voters. I try to estimate the Dim opposition on the level of threat they pose to key policies. All are bad. Some are really bad.

[Axman4]

You are welcome.

This is excellent. Thanks for the ping.

After being lied to and slandered long enough, it is common sense to not care what the sources of lies and slander say. Or at least, it used to be, before common sense became so rare.
