This was even stronger than I would have written, even with the anger that I feel; anger at the contempt that we Americans receive for simply trying to protect ourselves and trying to do the right thing by everyone. We receive no thanks, just contempt from the snooty Old-Worlders who are increasingly becoming a drain on our economy and way of life. Europe is becoming like Islam in that they want to pull others down rather than lift itself and others up. No, wait, the French invented that, the loathing of the bourgeoisie, the achievers, and now cultureless Americans. Islam learned that from the French as they also learned anti-Semitism. These "intellectuals" believe one can only have self-respect if one is lazy, and has disdain for everyone else that picks one's self up out of the mire. Sadly, Europe can't afford intellectuals like these, or it's current vast welfare state, or adequate defense without suckling at the teat of the US economy. It's a luxury which we in the U.S. can't afford to subsidize anymore. The European ingrates have finally pushed most Americans to the point where we feel it's time to cut the umbilical cord.

Great, great editorial. I'd like the negative responders he'll get to email me and I'll give them another round of truth, or as they would see it, "simplistic" views without historical European context, blah, blah, blah. Let me explain to them about simplistic, uneducated views which lead countries to poverty and ruin.
