My wife and I were in Barcelona in October. While there we met an Irish couple in a restaurant, and we started chit-chatting. Then, emboldened by their European group-think, they felt they just had to tell us how they didn't like President Bush.
I don't want to bore you with the details, but let me tell ya, I gave them a speech, part of which included the points that, I don't care what they think, that they are all deluded thinking that "nobody likes Bush," that the President would win re-election (which they found unbelievable), and that I'm sick and tired that Americans keep spending our blood and our treasure to save their sorry asses and make the world safe for them to be smug.
It felt good then. It feels better now.
You should have asked them if "they were from the part of Europe whose ass we saved or whose ass we kicked". (I don't know who coined this phrase, but it is a classic.)
Please, you must hear what Christopher in Northern Ireland had to say on Rush's radio show.
It brought tears to my eyes.
HE GETS IT! SO DO MANY IN EUROPE!
Stay Strong,

Here in Marin County I have adopted a standard reply to the lunatic left when they begin commiserating their loss:
I don't care how you feel, and definitely don't want your opinion. State your facts and make an argument. Otherwise shut up. America won, and you lost; get over it.
Good for you. I would do the same thing. My Dutch friends Dutch husband started in on me one day about how he didn't like this president but we had a good constitution. I told him the best part of the constitution gave him freedom to say anything he wanted and it gave me the freedom not to listen. I turned and walked away from him. If he had been a stranger I would really have told him off!
