I'm not sure it is typical, but it does ring true with socialist liberal loons no matter where they are from.
Eh, depends on where you go in Europe and which generation is speaking. They have quite a few lefties there. I do agree, however, the mentality is similar, no matter where they are from. At least that one dude is willing to show his true colors with his communism avatar, which is more than you can say for the overwhelming majority of the hucksters.
Hilarious. Some moron in China says the world should unhinge from America. That's like the drug dealer telling the meth head that he's not going to sell him any more drugs until he cleans himself up.
How true, I have noticed those people that despise us are so aligned with countries that despise us, Iran, Pakistan, Russia, China, Syria, and many more I have actually never been to Europe, so I wouldn't have any opinion on their attitude toward our nation, but one thing is true, they all sure love coming here. I don't think I would ever visit a nation that I hated
The vast majority of which is confined to a few Democrat cities like Detroit and Chicago. Our financial markets are heavily regulated and managed by the Federal Reserve System, SEC, FDIC and IRS , just to name a few. Our entire monetary system is a centrally planned federal monopoly. I'm not sure how much more "legislation and oversight" you were looking for... Europe is the cradle of imperialism and monarchy and fascism and socialism. The US's downfall began when we abandoned our American republicanism and began incrementally adopting those failed and authoritarian modes of European government. And it's not like Europe's corruption and avarice are past them, no, they are still trying their best to maintain hegemony over Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. Qaddafi was taken out of power by the globalist banking cartel because he wanted to get Africa on a gold standard, and the bankers in London and Paris certainly weren't going to have that.
Well the US most certainly needs to keep up constant inflection of its policies and practice, but the Chinese govt is hardly the only to be passing moral judgement. That being said, the US and its people are not "morally bankrupt", speak for yourself on that.
So, you've read every one of his posts, eh? What a devoted boy you are. But why are you talking about other posters instead of addressing the topic?
There are a lot of foreign voyours posting here who suffer from penis envy and fundamentally hate the United States. They cheer for our downfall almost as much as that half Kenyan (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*) in the White House. But I'm hopeful that America will survive their voodoo curses and remain the greatest country in the history of mankind.
Too funny, I could ask you the same thing BTW, if you can find any post from leffe that puts the United States in a favorable light, please feel free to post it. I am confident that will not happen
Give me a break, no mention of Roosevelt, Wilson and the monster from Jekyll Island, Demoncrat Johnson and the escalation of the Vietnam crusade. Bill Clinton and his serial philandering and subsequent expansion of executive powers under Obama. The anti federalists were right, the centralized bloat of a nationalized central power will be the death of freedom and liberty.
stupid Hans, Americanization will vanish almost with out any traces, it will maybe stay in forms of children readings, even the British colonial culture left more traces. your most important mass-cultural formats (film, music, computer games) are aiming - 12 olders , how children material can be interesting for a normally developed adult?
Your political system is, and those individuals who claim to be patriotic christian American's, while seaking to deny affordable HC to their fellow American are also.
That's where I stopped reading, right there, because this statement illustrates exactly why the US is incapable of continuing as world leader. The constant internal childish bickering and finger pointing. Never showing the ability to compromise, always looking for an opportunity to take a swipe at the other side. Well done!
I haven't suggested an alternate, in fact these transitions are never planned; they simply happen due to a set of circumstances. The UK didn't want to lose its hegemony to the US, it happened due to two world wars and an evolving attitude towards Empires. There is no jealously, I wouldn't want my country to have hegemony; it seems like a poisen challis to me.
I can't say that I feel any threat from China. The West's realtionship with them in symbiotic, they make stuff that we buy and we make stuff that they buy. All they are trying to do, in suggesting the world de-Americanise, is to try to stabilise the global market place. If the US had acted responsibily over the last 10-20 years, it wouldn't be in this situation. - - - Updated - - - What on earth is the point of asking this?
Well the U.S. will surely fall in the future, that's just what happens to great powers..Greeks...Persians, Romans, Mongolians, British, China multiple times in history.
What are we envious of, exactly? You lot are worse than Israelis when it comes to anyone criticising your holy country; anything not enveloped in glutinous, fawning expressions of adulation and you start whining about envy, and the flags start coming out. The Israelis whine about 'anti-Semitism' in the same cringing tone.
China relies on the strong American/European economies, they should at least wait another 40-50 years so they have completely stolen our strong economies then preach de-Americanizing/Westernizing.
Envious of what? The obvious of course, seeing how the US replaced you as a world leader, the fact that a former colony surpassed the mother country. This hatred started after the Revolutionary war and it's still evident that most of you are still holding a grudge. Isn't it funny how most of the criticism from Europe comes almost exclusively from the UK. Gee what a coincidence. I rarely see this kind of petty BS from Germany, Poland, and even France.
This is a weak bid to takeover as the worlds currency. But worldwide criticism on more than just our military foreign policy is likely to erode our economic credibility. Loss of confidence is one of those things that seems safe to ignore, until all of the sudden you lose your voice.
Why would the Chinese laugh? Because the Tea Party patriots are not goose stepping behind their dictator and march off a fiscal cliff? All Obama wants to do is spend, spend, spend and get the money for it by borrow, borrow, borrow. The Tea Party conservatives are the only sane responsible voices in Washington.
