Pokey, one of my little political fantasies is be the POTUS and to address the United Nations General Assembly. The speech would be direct, pointed and unequivocal. I'd detail the hundreds of billions of dollars and sacrifice of lives that the citizens of the United States of America have invested to maintain peace and economic security throughout THEIR world. I'd detail the unanimous disrespect and villification that is returned to our people as thanks. I'd give every one of these fat mobsters notice that their diplomatic visas were being rescinded with 60 days notice, and all American support of the United Nations in New York was hereby terminated. I'd suggest Zurich as a good place for drunken louts to meet.
It's time these punk ingrates shut their mouths. Pokey, you and I have paid thousands of dollars over our lifetimes in tax money to support the defense, defaulted World Bank loans, food and medical relief aid, outright grants and sweetheart trade deals for ALL these European, Asian and African sh*tholes. And they hate us and undermine our interests in return.
We protect Kuwaitis, Saudis and Albanian Muslims in Kosovo. So Muslims murder us.
Enough is enough. I'd tell the World that they owe the American people a great debt, and they damn well better accept that truth and the reality that our citizens will no longer abide their ungrateful attacks while picking our pockets. No more bouncers in the Balkans. No more aid to Africa. No $4 billion gifts from our people to Israel or Egypt. Portugal ... get bent. Cameroon ... feed your own damn people. Greece ... eat me.

It it wasn't for us "rogue" Americans, Brits would be clicking their heels and shouting "Seig Heil."I sent an email this morning and said just that!--without Americans you'd be speaking German.
Really, I suppose the fact that the USA stayed out of the war in Europe until 1943 was just part of the masterplan to beat Hitler was it?
If it hadn't been for the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor the US might have stayed out of the war altogether. Americans who fought in Europe deserve our admiration, but they were also doing it to defend their country's liberty in the future. The war between the NAZIS and the USSR was what really saved Britain's bacon, not that I have any admiration whatsoever for the Soviets or Stalin. The USSR actually signed a non-aggression pact with Hitler, divided up Poland with him and allied themselves to him, until the NAZIS invaded in 1941. If Britain and the USSR had been beaten, who do you think the NAZIS would have been threatening next?
We thank you for your country's financial help before it joined the war and its military aid after 1942. However, bear in mind that the USA insisted that the economic aid that helped the British war effort - be paid back in full. I hear that Britain will not finish paying it back until 2006. Therefore, it can not be said that the USA helped Britain out of pure altruism. After the war ended, the US was allowed its pick of British territories to plant cold war bases upon. Britain's loyalty during the cold war was one of the few things successive American administrations could count upon. That loyalty persists today, despite what silly American hating liberals and lefties say.

Europeans and especially the British and French are utterly irrelevent. Americans shouldn't and don't care one bit what some Euro wimp that's never combed his hair, used deodorant, and has bad teeth, thinks about the United States.

JJ, that you?
To: Gutterboy
I am sick and tired of the world's leftists telling us what we should do. I suppose it is because they themselves are totally incapable of doing anything, so they feel the need to impart their wisdom on us. Go take a hike! I have no plans to travel to these America hating countries, nor do I consciously buy any of their products. Milwaukee beer, California wine and American beef suit my tastes. So do Detroit cars, Levis and US made computers.
To the rest of the world, the next time you need money or troops please call your European friends-don't call us.

The Brits simply can't get over losing the Revolutionary War.

I am now going to fondle my British passport for a few minutes. Just like Richard Reid, eh?
To: tricky_k_1972
If this guy really believes what he's written than he is a LUNATIC! THis fellow is so removed from reality it is hard to believe. I suspect that he is an idealist. Constantly living in a fairy tale world, he has high and IMPOSSIBLE ideals because we live in the REAL WORLD.
I also find that he is probably never really in the real world. I also think that he has never lived a real life. I don't think he knows the difference between reality and a dream.

The British are far more pragmatic than you give them credit for. A thousand years of history have proved you can’t win them all. Happy 4th.

I haven't heard (hope I never do) George Michael's silly song, "Kill the Dog" but I understand it's in reference to Blair's support of Bush.

Still bitter over that whole Revolution thing, eh?
To: Tailback
Very grown-up post. Full of incisive observations and tact.
Or just another derivative peace of fecal matter?

I could kiss my many times great grandpa who fought in the war against the British in 1773, or thereabouts. Thanks, Gramps for helping rid our great land of the British vermin.
