Thanks, I didn’t know that. I guess I was just passing along what I had always heard from the left wing media.

Hmmmmmm! Wonder what the NAGs think about that?

Maybe one of them will get up off their knees and tell us.

I think it has long been demonstrated that the NAGS are perfectly willing to service the needs of men as long as they are communists or liberal democrats. In fact, enthusiastically service them in any way necessary.

What is the difference between a right wing dictator and a left wing dictator? Batista was the right wing dictator of Cuba. He lived in a palace, the people were poor and everyone feared him. Today Castro is dictator of Cuba, he lives in a palace, the people are poor and everyone fears him. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

I grew up in Cuba in the '60s. The Cubans said Batista was bad, but Castro was in a whole 'nother class. Batista was an amateur.

This is why we are not Europe and why we do not want to become like Europe. We have a Constitution here and all mean/women really are created equal in the eyes of the law.

Well said. Very well said!

You are correct — the Europeans and especially the French still believe in the aristocratic order.

That is why many Europeans look down on Americans as a bunch of uncivilized cowboys. And why Liberals here love them so much.

One way to deflate this arrogance is to remind them that we Americans had to intervene in two “European” Wars last century and that Germany systematically murdered millions of people. The so called civilized Europe isn't that civilized.

The best of Europe left during the exoduses over the past couple of centuries. The heartiest and most motivated people left and came to the US and we appreciated the freedom and the opportunities that our culture and economic system offered.

Yup. However, some want us to be just like Europe — some Liberals.

When Europeans look down their noses at us, just ask them this; Who gave the world Hitler, Stalin and Mussolini—ALL AT THE SAME TIME?

Yup. And tell it to Liberals here in the States, too. Michael Moore and his ilk have a habit of putting the US down.

That was an excellent column by Steyn, as usual.
It’s hard not to smile from ear to ear through the whole thing.
What a great writer!

Did you see that really stooopid ad the Dems put out, the one with the grandmother in a wheelchair being pushed off a cliff? This looks like it could be the Dems “jump the shark” moment. They are really getting that look of desperation. I think the more people pay attention to politics the more ridiculous the Democrats look. They are always playing to the dumbest people in the crowd. When people start paying more attention, they will notice how the Dems are always insulting their intelligence such as the ad of the old woman in the wheel chair.
