Well I know lots of Euros that are quite happy about Bush winning, but they are Conservatives and either eutrepenuers or professionals (mostly science, technology or defense.) When you can talk to people privately one can get a different picture. Mind you, it is not a majority opinion, but it is not a small minority either. The European press is so one sided. Most Euros that know America would have been shocked if Bush had lost. One has to realize the the socialist behind the EU "integration" have been waging a propaganda war against the US for over a decade. They are trying to create a notion of the "EU citizen." It is true that Iraq help them but we would have seen this eventually anyway. Many EUros have a completely fabricated notion of what America is, and many have never been there. You here all the Rats talking point, they are just translated into the local language (It is a real discussion of how much damage the Dems in the media has done this country.) Many people in Europe only relied on the OLD Media in the US and there fellow travelers in European media to get their information. Of course they were taken unawares.

Part of me thinks that we are just one again a decade or so ahead of the Euros, that we will see a trending to the right and to tradition over there too in the next 10 years. That may just be wishful thinking on my part.

The political control of the media has and the bias has reached levels not seen since the Nazis. It is, however, so at odd with reality that I wonder if they can keep it up.

The one thing that is deeply troubling is that they have substantially brainwashed a large part of s generation of young people. I do not see how to counteract that at this time.

It is my guess (and hope) that as the US starts to turn around and the Euros have to come to terms with the fact that we are a highly competetive and leading nation then they will sober up a bit. We saw a glimmer of this in this years Olympics. I think that we will see the that all the bright hopes pinned on the EU will fade a bit. RIght now they are believing their own PR.

"The one thing that is deeply troubling is that they have substantially brainwashed a large part of s generation of young people. I do not see how to counteract that at this time."

I used to worry about this--but I think people get wiser about solving problems via bureaucracy as they get older. It's easy to get more cynical about government the older you get. That drives most voters into the GOP by the time they're actually voting regularly.
