Our Scary-Important Allies, Part 5,347

Okay, this protest is in Britain, and the British, as a nation, are our allies, of course.

Still, this is the terrorist-lovin' mentality that's gripped much of Europe, in particular our "very important allies" France and Germany. There's no amount of diplomacy that can change the fact that many Europeans are not merely anti-US, but actively pro-Al Qaeda.

Screw you guys, I'm goin' home.

Thanks to GregS.

What a shock.

I'd like to say the feeling is reciprocated, but that isn't quite right. I think my feelings about the French can best be summed up with this kickass put-down from The Fountainhead. This is a paraphrase:

The Condescending Liberal Authoritarian said, "You don't think much of me, do you, Mr. Roarke?"
"I don't think of you," Roarke replied.

More: The Gleeful Extremist is trying to figure out which countries we should actually support with our travel-dollars and friendship.

I didn't see Israel on the list. And, to be honest, I'm an Anglophile, or rather I was. I'm not sure the UK should be on the list. Yeah, they're with us, but only because of the convictions of a single man. I'd rather just write Tony Blair out a check than see dreary London ever again.

Australia-- fuck yeah.

Well, you know ... they're all set for the 'Eurabia state of Islam' that the fundamentalist keep saying is on it's way. Bernard Lewis warned 'em. It's a sad day when Arafat is treated like a martyr and Bush is decried as Hitler.

It's really a bit difficultto figure out what is meant by the poster towit: Remember the Alamo is a slogan of support for American miltary effort (albeit a bit dated) thus it seems vaguely and confusedly pro-US. Alternatively it seems to assert that Fallujah will be a "graveyard" of Americans. Well that's so extraordinarily unlikely as to be confusing.
I guess I'm just not sophisticated enough to grasp the carefully nuanced Euroweenie concepts involved.
I'll keep trying though, (or maybe not).

I think you're missing an end tag for Bold faced text, Ace.

The rest of your site below 'More: "50 Reasons to Hate Americans" a bestseller in France.' is now in bold text.

FYI

Ayn Rand owns. Even cooler that the ARI is about 50 yards from my office. You should see the wacko's that show up for the "In support of Israel" lectures. LOL. If you're ever in the mood to watch security beat down some palestinians, that's the place to be.

You know why I seriously love you, Ace? Because you're older than 15 (I guess) and still can think of an apropros quote from Ayn Rand.

They should add Portugal to the list of countries to visit. They've got troops and cops there, and they hosted the emergency confrence between US, UK, and Spain right before the war. Italy too.

Every time I hear more quacking from the British Left, I find myself wishing Operation Sealion had succeeded.

You'd be most welcome in Oz (Australia). Don't forget to let us know you're coming. We'll put on our extra large drinking shoes.

Hey ace, just gotta let you know... Wife's a Brit, and the mainstream there are about as "backward", "stupid" and "homophobic" as our red states. There libs are just alot more entrenched and outspoken than ours.
