Ditto, but oh, how defensive we can get!
We get defensive because the UN and Liberals want to take over the US. We'd live under international law...and we got a taste of that last week from the Supreme Court...we'd pay taxes to the UN, every last man jack like it or not...we'd supply the armies and munitions needed for UN military excursions. The EU -- France, Belgium, et al (our betters), would do the thinking for us because they're cultured and smart. All the things we're not. Nothing's changed in all these years. If a vote were held tomorrow, we'd still take up arms against the king. Any king.
There's something special about the air or water in America. It changes you. 'Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness'. We take that very seriously, it's mother's milk to every American.
