The Europeans have not changed their tune since the sixteenth century. They
have always regarded Americans as rustics and buffoons and themselves as the
epitome of tolerance and culture. This, from a continent that is barely able
to feed itself, is unwilling or unable to defend itself, and where the
height of fashion is American western wear and where American music reigns
supreme.

Europeans have given rise to a rapid succession of tyrants that culminated
in the 20th century with nearly the complete annihilation of the human race.
Beginning with the Napoleonic wars, America has had to intervene repeatedly
to save Europe from the megalomaniac madmen the cretins continually select
as their rulers. They are classist beyond belief, celebrating ugly little
traditions like Boxing Day, where the lower classes are given gifts by their
social superiors. European philosophy is equally ugly, socialist,
relativistic, and even nihilist in its point of view.

The few Americans who buy into the European view have always tried to
portray themselves as cultural elites. In fact, the movie stars and effete
snobs who think Europe is so great are usually either uneducated high school
dropouts or products of insular liberal arts programs delivered in ivory
towers.

Oh, yeah -- there is nothing so intolerant as the promoters of 'tolerance.'
Frankly, if it was not likely to end in a world-wide conflagration, it would
be better to just pull our military peacekeepers out of Europe and let the
continent implode in its own pride and hubris. Unfortunately, the Europeans
cannot be entrusted to not hurl nuclear weapons at each other, so the
presence of our troops will be necessary for a long time to come.
