I Enlighten Michel

Before I start, I have some links to share.

My sis' neighbor sent me a video of a member of the Iraqi dive team. I tried to load it up on my site with no success. Rachel Lucas told me, it would have eaten up too much bandwidth and she had a place to park it for me. I since found out where it came from, but I am linking to Rachel's site. Enjoy! If you are on a dialup, it may take a while to load. Swallow all liquids before viewing!

I got this link in my mail today. Barbra Streisand, Hillary Clinton, Madonna, Sheryl Crow, Dave Matthews, Danny Gover, Woody Harrelson, and all of you other blame America first assholes hang your heads in shame. This is an example of the real America and real Americans that you people look down on. Fuckwits!

As long as we're talking about the French, I got a comment a few posts ago by Michel. Now, I'm gonna give Michel the benefit of the doubt and reprint his comment. He may not be a troll. He may just not understand what is going on. I'm even going to clean up some of his spelling and grammar so he doesn't think I'm trying to make fun of him.

I'm French. I have lived in the US for 20 years now. I love this country.
I love this country because I think it is the best manifestation of democracy (actually, Michel, it is a republic - GOC) on this planet.

But since 09-11, this democracy is...melting down.

Should Sadam be kicked off? Yes, and be sure that French people is ready to beat him off. (I'm not really sure what he meant here - GOC.)

But as my American friends themselves admit, American government is forgetting that "STRENGTH DOES NOT GIVE RIGHTS"

USA is the strongest, richest,... nation in the world, but this does not allow it to decide who, how, when should be erased. This does not allow it to rule the world.

What makes me sad today (I'm getting used to insults toward French)(and we're getting used to making them - GOC) is the absence of debate. In this land of freedom of speech, I can't see in news papers, on television, and even on the street, nothing but one point of view, one idea, one way.

It has already happened before. It was called McCarthism.

Dont let Bush spit on your flag.

Yeah, he's probably a troll, but let's see if I can clarify a few things for him.

This does not allow it to rule the world.

Do you know how tired I am of listening to fuckwits say that we want to rule the world or that we want to build an American empire? At the end of World War II, we were the only nation with nuclear weapons. Do you think if we had wanted to rule the world that would have been when we would have done it? But what did we do? We went home. We scaled back our military. And we provided the money to rebuild Europe. This was the Marshall Plan. We rebuilt Japan. And we spent billions defending Europe from the Soviet Union while Europe was spending billions on social programs. And France still owes us money from World War II.

And another problem with the empire scenario, is look at our history. We gave the Phillippines independence. We have given Puerto Rico the option of independence, statehood, or remaining a protectorate. We haven't done such a hot job of building an empire so far.

War was declared on us on 9/11. Eight years of Clinton made Islamic fanatics think that the entire nation was a bunch of cowards, just like Bill Clinton. Like WWI and WWII, we did not start the war. But we will finish it!

In this land of freedom of speech, I can't see in news papers, on television, and even on the street, nothing but one point of view, one idea, one way.

Michel, you have not been paying attention. Don't you read the New York Times or the Washington Post (or the San Francisco Chronicle, LA Times, etc.)?
Haven't you been listening to the chattering from those mighty minds from Hollywood? Haven't you been listening to people like Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, Ted Kennedy (when he's awake or sober), Tom Dasshole, Noam Chomsky, and all the other hate America leftists? We tolerate dissent in this country. Yeah, they're booger eatin' moh-rons, but we value our freedom of speech in this country.

It has already happened before. It was called McCarthism.

When we convene a House UnAmerican Affairs Committee and start hauling people up to testify before Congress then you can call it McCarthyism. Until then, STFU!

Don't let Bush spit on your flag.

Now there, he crossed the line. George Bush has not spit upon our flag! I can think of a whole bunch of people on the left (a certain draftdodging hillbilly comes to mind) who have.

We don't want to conquer the world. If we did, we passed up two great opportunities: the end of WWII and the end of the Cold War. And as for the French, yeah, they helped us in the Revolutionary War and we repaid that in WWI. We bailed them out in WWII and protected their sorry asses during the Cold War. What thanks do we get? Oh, by the way, do you want to buy a neat T-shirt?

Michel, what you and your sorry countrymen don't seem to realize is that we are at war with radical Islam. Your countrymen can try to appease the Islamofascists just like they tried to appease Hitler, but it will do no good. They understand one thing and one thing only:strength.

And just like WW1, WWII, and the Cold War it will be us unsophisticated Americans who will make the world safe for you cheese eating surrender monkeys.

And you'll still look down your snooty noses at us.

And because France is nothing but a pissant country, we still won't give a fuck!
