My response to the Daily Mirror (Vanity)

Dear Sirs,

You people in the British media have no idea how ridiculous you appear to us in the US. You think we are fools? We know exactly what we are doing in the US and why. Things might not be perfect, but life seldom is. Here in the US life is about as good as it is gets on God's green Earth and really, we don't care what you think of us.

We stand for freedom - individual freedom and freedom from government. We believe in God over humanism. We believe in low taxes. Most of your freedom in Europe (and the UK, because I know you are "not part of Europe") is lost by your high taxes and intrusive government. We also understand the threat of the Islamic terrorists - a threat your country will probably become more and more familiar with in the near future - unless we manage to fight that war for you as we have others in the past.

Bush is not an eloquent speaker but so what. He's a good and decent man. There is much he needs to do on the domestic side of the equation, but because ours is a government Of the people, By the people and For the people, WE will make sure those things are done, as well as what needs to be done about terrorism. Once again, we will move forward in spite of the foolishness and shortsightedness of our "allies" across the Atlantic and the idiocy displayed daily by media outlets such as yours.

Thanks for reminding me, once again, why 1776 was a great year

Sincerely,

I probably should have been harsher.

Edit to say: We stand for freedom - individual freedom and freedom from government. We believe in God over humanism. We believe in low taxes and orthodontics.

Daily Mirror, you think the USA is Michael Moore, CNN and The New York Times. You couldn't be more wrong. Do you want to know the spirit of the USA, rent BRAVEHEART!

FREEDOM!

Too good:-) I should have posted on FR first and used ideas such as that one on their teeth.

Can't believe I missed that one.

You were gracious and to the point. I am enjoying their sadness. But in the end they have better wake up and stop the influx of muslims and the spread of Islam in their midst. Europe is at risk of being an Islamic continent before the century is half over. God help them because I don't think we will be invading Normandy beach once again.

A very good year indeed. Now we can add 2004. Another year when America showed the world her independence!

Maybe if they go down to Islam, we'll catch a clue before it happens to us.

I would have mentioned that Bolshevik homosexual subculture is no longer in vogue. Oh yeah, and would have said "F U"

Did Clark county in Ohio go for Bush? Wasn't that the county targetted by the limp upper lip crowd that work at the Guardian in the UK trying to get Americans to vote for a french poodle?

You reminded me of something I was wondering about. What happened to Tony Blair's tooth? It looks like he lost one in the front. He's the Prime Minister of the UK and he can't get in to see a dentist???

Another one: If you get picture of America from CNN and MSM and M.Moroon movies, you are 180 degrees off. Reed FreeRepublic.com and you will get more realistic picture of America.

Ohio was the state that the Guardian was trying to influence. Thanks for reminding me.

Thanks. Still it's a crime to write to the UK and not mention the obvious defects of their teeth. My bad.

"I probably should have been harsher."

Nah, it's pretty perfect just the way it is.
