I wish you Europeans would apply the same standard to us that you apply to the poor little Islamofascist terrorists and jihadis. They can get as mad as they want about anything, however slight and however thermonuclear their reaction. But America mustn't peeved at the constant insults from Europe. We must take the eternal tongue lashing from Europe and never hit back, eh?

More important. Europeans are shameless of the way they are treating us. The kind of things Europeans say openly and publicly about Americans they wouldn't dare say about blacks, Muslims, or any other people. Their fellow Europeans wouldn't tolerate it. But their fellow Europeans love it when they talk that way about Americans.

It's bigotry. And Europe is shameless of it. Show me any Europeans expressing any shame over what's going on there? How far do you have to go to find a person who isn't afraid to speak up and say it's wrong?

Shamelessness is a dead end. Whether it's a person or nation, write the shameless off and move on.

Europeans think THEIR behavior reflects badly on us, not them. That is twisted. And you can have no good relationship with people who think as backwardly as that.

Europeans are not our friends or allies. We are their whipping boy.

Relations are in the toilet, and that's where they belong. Why do you ASSUME that close ties between America and people who hate our country, our government, and everything about us from the way we pronounce words, to our liking for ketchup and American football, to defending ourselves from AFGHANISTAN after 9/11?

It's best to stay away from people who hate you, apply vicious double standards to you, and spread national charcater assassination you about throughout the world.

That has contributed to the anti-Americansm around the world and especially in ME. Friends and allies don't make the whole world hate you.

How can Europeans be surprised that Americans are getting fed up with it and firing back? How naughty! Is that because Europeans are afraid to attack people who will fire back? I think it is.

That's what President Bush was trying to tell you people when he said that 9/11 was a moment for you but a change in our way of thinking. Read his lips: "We ain't willing to put up with it anymore. It is now costing American lives."

Eurotrash-talking of America has been going on nonstop since the end of WW2. When the Soviet Union fell and Europe no longer needed our protection, Europeans got louder and sassier and nastier than ever.

The European Left must paint America as the greatest evil and threat in the world, which has made them go wild in their accusations to make America look even more evil and threatening than Europe's real enemy - the Islamofascist crusaders.

That's how blind and reckless they are in their desperate effort to advance the cause of socialism, despite the abundant proof that it doesn't work.

Europe has a pathological hatred and envy of America incited by its socialist ruling class. Even those who don't share it are bullied into silence by the herd mentality.

You ASSUME that America NEEDS Europe. You ASSUME an awful lot of things, as matter of fact.

Don't assume that we trust Europe at all anymore.

European anti-Americanism is older than the United States. The sentiment does seem to have been just as virulent before. And yes we did tune it out as nothing but constant background noise. Yet whether it actually was as bad or not doesn't matter. It can't be minimized or blown off as just more of the same old same old.

There is a crucial difference now. Now Europe exports this trash talk via mass communication (and other influences) throughout the world and has been doing so for decades (right along with Soviet Politburo). The BBC, for example, does it not-so-subtly daily in 43 languages. France 24 jumps into the deafening international chatter now, with "France's (psychedelic) vision of the world." This propaganda especially and increasingly targets the ME. Jeez, we stupid yanks have no idea why Europe's socialists should want to badmouth us there.

Harmless? No. Look at what the French lie about the Pallywood staged killing of Mohammed al-Dura caused. It was the big wind that fanned the spark touching off the intifada. Distrubeted FREE to news media throughout the world. Trash-talking propaganda is just a weasle's way of waging war, like Iran does, by proxy.

Philippe Roget is one of the few Europeans who has admitted the fruit of this trash talk. He was finishing his book on French anti-Americanism (the very chapter on French hatred of the American city with its skyscrapers) in NYC and saw a plane hit the WTC. All the blaming of the victim afterwards prompted him to end the book saying that it's time Europeans stopped examining America's conscience and examined their own, admitting their contribution to the poisonous worldwide spread of anti-American hatred and bigotry that bore fruit in this crime against our humanity.

I shall have to be careful not to say "Europe" when I mean "western Europe, especially France and Germany." Sorry, old habit. That's old Europe. The Eastern European countries aren't so fooled about socialism that they hate the US. Yet. But since they have no way of knowing that much of what they hear is either twisted or untrue, it's but a matter of time till the western European media and EU wheeling and dealing make them all anti-American too.

Why presume that a turning away from Europe is "isolationism"? Are there no other countries in the world worth knowing? And the punch line is that we Americans are the ones who think the world ends at our boundaries.

Europeans seem surprised at our reaction to the way they have treated us. And the punch line is that we Americans are the callous, unthinking ones who don't know how the world works.

One of these days Europeans are actually going to have a legitimate criticism of us or hit one of our real flaws (instead of just projecting their own off onto us) or have some helpful advice. And guess what? We won't be listening anymore. Because Europe has thoroughly discredited itself.

As for America's own anti-American socialists, I wish those Harpies would reverse-immigrate back to Europe. They'd fit right in and thus give the rest of us some peace.
