Our President is back from his first trip to Europe. He held his own with the various leaders, while the U.S. press spent its time filming protesters and interviewing smug arrogant European busybodies. As if we didn't have enough snug arrogant busybodies of our own that we have to endure on a daily basis. And the protesters…what is it with Europeans always chaining themselves to stuff. Why can't we get them to chain themselves to concrete blocks and protest the depth of the ocean?

I don't know about you but I'm pretty damned sick of the Europeans. You know what? I don't care what they think of our President. I would rather have any of our Presidents lead my country than anyone I have seen running a country in Europe with the exception of Clinton on our side, and Thatcher on theirs. I really don't care what they think of the death penalty. If they want to coddle their criminals and wring their hands over the poor victims of society who just happened to kill someone…fine. We will let them keep their monsters and a gilded cage while we will dispose of our trash as we see fit. I couldn't care less what they pay for a gallon of gasoline. I am somehow supposed to feel guilty that I pay less for gas than people living in little postage stamp countries where they drive three blocks a week in those little clown cars. I think their gas prices are too high. Maybe they should consider lowering their tax induced inflated prices instead of insisting we raise ours. I don't care that they have socialized medicine. I don't want a government employee operating on me. I want my doctor to get filthy stinking rich. I want to know that I don't have to wait 4 months for chemotherapy because the government hospital only sees a certain number of people a week due to a shortage of personnel, medicine, and equipment. If we had the same health system as they do, where would Canadians go for bypass surgery?

I don't care about preserving either their language or their culture. If their people didn't eat at McDonalds, McDonalds wouldn't be there. So if they don't want our culture influencing theirs then they should get a handle on their people and stop crying about us. It isn't us…it's them. I don't care about that mess in the Balkans. If the Europeans don't care that this constant war goes on in their backyard, I don't either. Let the United States pull our troops out of Europe and quit NATO. NATO has served its purpose and the result is a Europe that doesn't appreciate our efforts to keep them secure, so why bother? I don't care that they don't like our idea of a missile defense. They aren't paying for it. If they want to continue paying lip service to the cold war anachronisms like the ABM Treaty, then I'm sure that Russia can dig up some old Bolsheviks for them to surrender to. When we get our missile shield in place, maybe we can sell them the plans. I don't care if the Russians and the Chinese object to the missile defense either. They claim it might start another arms race. Before they can be in the race with us, they're going to need a car.

I don't care what they think of the Kyoto Treaty and our President's proper disposal of it. It was merely an economic tool to protect the Chinese and to damage the economy of the United States in order to benefit the Europeans who get most of their energy from nuclear. By the way, if our environmentalist nut cases lay down on and chain themselves to some railroad tracks, I know a better, less time consuming way, to get them off. Use the throttle. I don't care what Europe thinks of our immigration policies. Look at what's happening in England now that the English are realizing that they are about to become extinct. We have enough problems with the bedwetters in this country wanting to flood our country with illegals.

I don't care if Europe has gun control. An unarmed Europe is probably good for the United States. Who knows, perhaps we will have to take over their continent someday. They being unarmed just makes it that much easier. The founders of our country didn't want dictatorial governments trampling on our rights like they do on a pretty regular basis over in their part of the world. We also don't like home invasions by criminals. When some lowlife breaks into our homes, we shoot them dead and good riddance. I think it's against the law to harm a criminal in parts of Europe. Good grief don't you people have any self respect?

I don't care if they use the metric system. "Kilometers" just isn't as useful a word as "miles." It has a dry sterile kind of ring to it. Saying "walk a kilometer in his shoes" or "kilometers to go before I sleep" just sounds lame. "If you give them a centimeter they'll take a kilometer." Please…. I don't care if the Europeans pay more taxes than I do…that is a bad thing. I want to keep more of the money I earn and I don't want the government to take it from me to buy votes for the left wing parties. I don't want the government taking care of me from cradle to grave. I am not interested in seeing to it, with my money, that other people don't have to work.
