Euro tourists still pour into NYC

I took my family to NYC last summer. We stayed about six blocks up from Times Square on 7th Ave. You had to see the Europeans on their shopping sprees to believe it. My son and I were in the big Toys R US in Times Square and there was no English to be heard. Just the jabbering of French, German, Italian and Russian buying the place out. PS3s were flying out the door.

The final turning point will be when Europeans in droves start immigrating out of Europe.

Thanks to our immigration laws here, they won't be allowed in unless they face Mecca five times per day.

If I were living in Australia or Canada, I would be bracing for impact.

Yup

It’s amazing

But the media insists on spinning it

Let’s send the media abroad and take in those who love coming here as tourists

Do they care what we think of them? Why the heck should we care what they think of us?

France, Germany, and Russia were getting payoffs from Hussein’s Iraq to stiffle support for the war.

They miss the bribes.

To hear the black supremacists tell it you should love “the motherland” as much as they love Africa. Of course I don’t see them ever doing much to topple the despots RUNNING African nations but that is beside the point.

And I agree. Our ancestors LEFT Europe for good reason.

How does Iraq affect Europe?

Well, if the U.S. had not kept Persian Gulf oil reserves out of the control of a potentially nuclear armed Iraq and Iran, Europe would be begging for oil at any price.

America affects the European Union by allowing it to be able to survive in this hostile World, totally self-absorbed, while the Americans man the ramparts of Western Civilization.

Before Pearl Harbor, the Brits were doing that ...... It was their Finest Hour.

"Germans make the best Americans, but the worst Germans." --- Henry Miller

Hank (born Gottlieb Mueller to German parents in Brooklyn) should have also mentioned that Germans make the worst tourists. Whether getting drunk at the hotel bar in Miami wearing only speedos or harassing our womenfolk while visiting Italy on a high school trip all those years ago, Germans make the ugly American look downright charming.

Most European non-gay men (there’s probably still some) are jealous of our guy’s sexual prowess during the last European war.

So, umm ... What exactly are you implying about the rest of us that might have been stationed there after the war.

Does that 604,000 only include folks born in Italy? There are at least hundred thousand folks of Italian ancestry who were born in Brazil, Venezuela and Argentina living in the US by now.

LOL! I saw that in Orlando about 10 years ago.

They don’t understand our commitment to guns, to capital punishment (the horror!), to religion, to capitalism.

Well, coming from a deep-blue area of a highly-unchurched blue state, I'd have to re-word that to "the commitment some of us hold". A lot of folks here, like Obama's SF friends, don't understand either.

both countries remain deeply suspicious of what the French disparagingly call 'L'Hypuissance'.

I'm afraid to ask but... L'Hypuissance?...anyone know?

>>I do believe this has been a deliberate and planned attack of the DNC, which has paid off for them in spades.

See this article; it’s a pretty remarkable summary on that theme, and more:
