After listening to the talking heads on TV, my little sister who went to school in Switzerland, and a neighbor who lived in Belgium for far too many years… I’m a little put off by the weight some people keep putting on the opinions of ‘Europeans’ about the goings on here in the US. Most of the branches of my family came to this country before it was the United States. My ancestors fought the British in the Revolutionary War. The fact is that all my ancestors came from Europe at one time or another. They left countries were they were persecuted for their religious beliefs or where they had no futures because of the crushing weight of poverty thanks to the cultures ‘Europeans’ developed. Our ancestors came here and founded the greatest country in the history of the world!
This nation has poured out it’s money, it’s sweat and the blood of it’s young men to free the oppressed peoples in every corner of the world…including ‘Europe’. In fact if not for the selfless service of hundreds of thousands of Americans the ‘Europeans’ would all be speaking German today! And after soundly thrashing the Germans in the field we paid to rebuild their country and to rebuild the countries that they had pounded into the dirt…and then forgave the debts!
We’ve provided a military umbrella to shield the Europeans from the threat of Communism for almost fifty years and the ‘Thanks’ we get is to be snubbed and told we don’t do enough in the United Nations!! We started the United Nations! We put the headquarters on our soil and let most of its’ members get away with breaking the laws of their host country. We have footed the bill for most military and humanitarian actions that have served to make the world a better place and all while the ‘Europeans’ look down their noses on us!
I say let’s leave the Iraqis alone, go to war with Europe and make them all learn English! They need a lesson in respect since they haven’t learned anything from the lessons of history!
