Most of them are well aware that we are not represenative of our countries politics. I think the frenchies just dislike us out of jealousy. Oh, but we are........if not our politics, our culture and people. This i
So how does this analysis affect the "map" or the division of powers in a possible WWIII? I'm not sure it would so much affect the "map". Islamic peoples, as couchman pointed out, exist in many parts of the world. Of course, if there were to come to power some kind of (hypotheical) Islamic "Hitler
Without Churchill the world would be a much poorer place. But the Japanese were doomed the moment they attacked Pearl Harbor. Ultimately, by August 1945, World War II was going to come to an end one way or the other. Because at that point, those B-29s and B-17s would have been dropping Atomic bombs on any aggressive powers.
It is not we Americans who are arrogant, but our ideals that are arrogant. Freedom is not only an arrogant thing, but is also a noble thing indeed. ---hitparade Well said, hitparade, very well said, indeed. Excellent post. <TABLE cellpadding=8 widt
I think Draginol has just about made all my rebuttals for me. Thanks, pal. Good to have you aboard. One thing that came to me earlier this evening, too (I was reading something that mentioned it), was the Marshall Plan, in which the US rebuilt Europe (and then Japan, by the way) in an effort to avoid the recriminations, bad feelings and thirst for revenge that had grown out of WW1 and set off WW2. It's easy for modern Europeans to pont fi
My father, Larry, saw his last Christmas in 2001. At his funeral, I related the following tale as part a eulogy. My dad had a unique sense of humor. One Christmas morning, when I was six or seven, I jumped out of bed at some ungodly hour and crept down the stairs to begin the day's festivities. Now, it's important to note here that, in my house, Santa did not wrap his presents; he was a busy man, of course, and had no time to wrap a
Excellent article, tf80..........the IN tolerance of those who so zealously preach tolerance is a serious dichotomy in their argument, and not to mention terribly hypocritical. It's so wrong that it's okay to discuss Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, even Wicca and Vampirism in schools, but Christianity is harshly excluded. This is because of the nature of Christ. God in human form. That's a lot harder for people to accept than a vague ima
Rightwinger... don't know about long-term phase warfare. I might buy it with more analysis... but I'm not sure. Yeah politics and religion are the same in the MidEast. They have bombs that could level 1/3 of NY and other similarly-sized cities. They fit in Hondas. Heck, suitcases even. The states foil so many terrorist plots we n
Rightwinger, not sure if it takes away from your arguments, but Nazi Germany declared war on the US after the US declared war on Japan. That was in accord with the Axis pact. Europe involved us in their war, which we eventually would have entered in any case to assist the British who declared war on Japan as we did. </TA
And just how did he make a fool of himself? Direct translation of the phrase "Ich bin ein Berliner" means "I am a citizen of Berlin." Check translation link below. ---drmiler There was a rumor some years ago, that still enjoys currency, that he mispronounced something and REALLY said "I am a jelly donut"
Are you mad? They do in fact go to many of those countries Sorry to have missed you, Sandy2. I'll gladly compare immigration statistics for the US with those of other nations any time. Of course, this might not be easy, because of the many people who c
Cacto--- Whether the US's influence on the world will be as long-lasting as Rome's, or of the same or greater impact is kind of academic, as far as we're concerned. After all, none of us here today will be alive to see if it will or not. Though I agree that the ripples Rome made in history are still reverberating today, allow me to point out that you're championing the Roman Empire, and in the same breath accusing the US of having a sort of ":
Reply #22 By: Sabbatismus - 12/17/2004 3:08:52 PM Very well, said. Thanks, sabbatismus...great article, by the way.
Great Article, RW, as usual! Thanks, LW....that means a lot, coming from you. I appreciate it. I just stopped by on my way to check my mail and haven't got time right now to answer the replies (Christmas shopping calls), but I'll be back. In the meantime, thanks go to LW, drmiler and hype
but ur forgetting that we never won Nam' ---catholic libral True, but for twenty years we kept the North at bay for the South....we arrogant Americans fought their war for them, and lost almost 60,000 of our own in the process, thank you so much for noticing. It was only when we finally tired of pro
Having detailed on here my own reservations about and tribulations with homosexuals, I agree completely with much of what you've said. Very nicely done.
The following article is based freely on a reply I made to someone on a post: Every so often, I see on here some comment by a foreign national or by a self-loathing, America-last, apologist US-born liberal, dumping on Americans for our supposed "arrogance". How we're arrogant doesn't always come up, but it seems we just are. Well, as I've said several times before.....why shouldn't we be? After all, we've saved the world three times
I got a little curious about the origins of this relatively recent addition to the holiday season, and did a little research. I took this from Wizblog: ~~~"Considering Kwanzaa Richard J. Rosendall takes a thoughtful and candid look at this relatively new celebration in a Front Page Magazine article. In the course of explaining the origins of Kwanzaa and its founding principles, Rosendall se
KingBee, I honestly cannot see how you cannot see the attacks on Christmas in this country. Let me cite a few examples. Here in my town, Raleigh, No christmas lights. My son's school no longer celebrates christmas, they have a 'winter holiday' party. My work? Can't mention the C word here, and there can be no display of lights, b

Got some bad news when I went in to work today; the owner has sold the place, and Monday will be our last day. On top of that, the new owner won't be keeping it as a restaurant, after all. It's going to be a tobacco shop. So, unless I want to sell smokes ( I wouldn't want to do that anyway....my dad died of lung cancer) and rolling papers for a lot less money, I'm out of a job. And at Christmas, nonetheless. The owner has been trying to sell i
Cute...nice smile. Hey, baby ( smoothly adjusts tie and makes "bang-bang" motion with hand ).....what's your sign? Come here often? How 'bout a drink?
Interesting article. Yes, WW3 started about 30 years ago, and we're just now entering the next phase of it. I've often said that the next world war won't be a political war, though...it'll be a religious conflict with the Islamics on one side and everybody else on the other. Of course, with the MidEast, the line politics and religion is so blurred that one might as well be the other. All we can do
