My point was not so much what others have done, although Britain may have already ceased to exist in any meaningful sense, but to point out that Papa Doc Barack has deliberately alienated our traditional allies. Perhaps we will now have a “special relationship” with Venezuela.

If we do, it'll be because we have a size 14 brass-toed boot wedged tightly where it'll hurt the caudillo Chavez the worst.

Sure hope we get a real Prez in 2012 -- but the palmy East Coast money will be in there again with their yacht-club, frat-boy candidates throwing money around by the sackful.

Yeah, Mitt. I mean you.

The Kennedy curse was not just what happened to that family but what happened to this country as a result of that family. History is repeating itself, only with the muslims trying to exterminate God’s people.

If another war kicks off in the Falklands, he may have to pull British troops out of Afghanistan.

Perhaps, as Britons were not allowed to vote for Obama, it didnt make any damn difference who they supported

Attack their currency? Don’t think so. In what way?

Hmmmm....I guess I failed to mention that the Aussies have never invaded the US and burnt down our then Presidential Palace.

.... and also - it would be helpful to 'post' what I may allegedly wrote so I could answer it properly ... I've saved all my posts going back to when I first signed on here but I have no way to search though thousands of posts to come up with what you're talking about .... a few years back?!

If you check the history, you’ll find that a) Australia was part of the British Empire then, so yes, in fact they did invade the US and burnt down the Whitehouse and b) said invasion and burning was specifically in retaliation for a prior US invasion of Canada and burning down of its capital (I believe what is now known as Toronto).

I didn’t say YOU wrote an article alleging a US attack on the Australian currency, and anyway more specifically it would be an attack by US based speculators, not the US people as a whole.

I don’t recall the circumstances. I just remember some Aussie bemoaning it a few years back. Perhaps he was mistaken.

I remember once kidding around with my Aussie girlfriend about the difference in our currency - me saying it’s all the same size and color and telling her that theirs was different sizes and colors ... but that was in emails ... your post intimated that I was attacking or disparaging their currency in some way ...
