Here is a good question for thought... IF the World has hated us for generations .... Why does the World support Kerry as President....

They know Kerry will bring us down and they are licking their chops hoping beyond hope that enough Americans can be bought by George Soros and the progressive left anarchists.

Amazing. This is one of the best-written, best researched, thought-out articles I've ever read on anti-Americanism, both at home and abroad.

They hate us because we are the only superpower and because we are the wealthiest nation by a wide margin. There is nothing we can do about it. It's inevitable. It's human nature for the rest of the world to hate us. Besides, since when do nations conduct foreign policy to get other nations to like them? It's stupid. Do the French care what others think? Does anybody like the France?

The reason they hate America is because they are envious. Also, because they are totalitarianists themselves and they hate freedom and capitalism.

I'm optomistic that most of them don't really hate America... I think most leftists are leftists because they align themselves with some social agenda that means a lot to them (read Abortion, Gay rights), and then they get swept up into believing all the leftist foriegn policy propoganda spewed by the likes of Moore, Soros, et cetera.

You're both right. In socializt europe there's no real incentive to work hard because the extra money you make just goes to pay taxes. In the totalitarian middle east the regimes won't free the people because they fear them. In the plutocratic Latin and South America they keep the people down to line their pockets.

In all cases the rulers encourage hatred of America because we are the Great Scapegoat -- they distract the peoples from their own failings by pointing to us as the focus of all evil.

It's projection, just like what Kerry and the rats do.
