    All the American wars after WWII hardly equal one major campaign of WWII (the 2nd 20th cen. European civil war).

    WTF? Do you even understand what a civil war is? By the way, numbers are irrelevant-except for the 'more is better' obsessive American mindset. It's the attitude and desire for war which is relevant. America seems to have a voracious and insatiable appetite for war and dick-waving.

    This thread is about the US, not the EU. So, because you can't make an intelligent comment on topic you drag Europe into it.

    Stay on topic: say something intelligent - please . . .

    It's an academic theory that you are apparently ignorant of.

    The OP uses other nations to make its point, so your suggestion fails immediately. Please do a better job of thinking things through before posting.

    You are absolutely correct, birddog.

    Especially when you say, "We have enough B.S. liberals here now that have nearly ruined our country, so you lying libs serve a good purpose living somewhere else."

    Here is the best possible solution to the debt crisis that the Democrats and Republicans could come up with.

    What is wrong with these people?

    I'll respond to an OP in any manner that I wish. He called Americans stupid. But, the riots seem to be in Greece. I guess the Europeans are stupider than Americans.


    He's wrong about taxes. We cannot tax our way out of 14 trillion in debt. Gov't spending must be cut. That is the problem.

    European Civil War
    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    The European Civil War is a term that is to characterise both World War I and World War II and the inter-war period as a protracted civil war taking place in Europe. It is used in referring to the repeated confrontations that occurred during the first-half of the 20th century. There is no firm consensus over the details and links, such as the Spanish Civil War and, occasionally, the Russian Civil War and Russian Revolution. The term is often used to explain the rapid decline of Europe's global hegemony and the emergence of the European Union. By this self-mutilation, Europe lost its position in the world, its hegemony, and caused itself to be divided into two spheres of influence: one "Western", and one Soviet.[1]

    "European Civil War" as an academic theory is a minority interest with a growing prominence.

    I've already posted why Don Cherry would consider clueless Leftist Canucks like macljack a "kook". As Egan-Jones pointed out, America's credit rating is in jeopardy on account of the profligacy of Nanny State Leftists who can't control their appetite for more programs and spending....

    Let's put it this way. I started a carpet cleaning business and hired 2 workers. Business started to boom and there were too many contracts to handle with two crews so I invested in another van got the equipment and started a third crew.

    Because of increasing the income by having a third crew put me in another tax bracket where actual profits went down.

    This is what taxing the rich comes down to and it stifles business.

    On the other hand , it also makes one work harder. As long as you're making/made a profit , why complain. ?

    We're not destined to end up like Bil Gates/Warren Buffet etc, are we ?

    C'est la Vie Mon Ami.

    I'm glad you paid all yr taxes + didnt fiddle.(wink) The Government you voted for (or didnt ) needs every cent. ,

    So, I was right: you have nothing intelligent to say respecting this subject, other than, " Dah EU sucks, we're 'Mericans; HOO-HAH SERGEANT"!!

    right

    Try and stick up for the right-wing guy by pushing him a little to say something "pro-American" in the face of an Anti-American, and the right-wing guy tells you to go f**k yourself . . .

    good

    typical

    Notice how much the word "stupid" is being thrown around by the people who immediately expose their ignorance?

    You don't raise taxes in the middle of a recession. Period. And it would not solve the problem. If (big if) it helped at all it would only be temporary. Do you have any clue how high taxes would need to be raised to "solve" the problem? Clue: currently 40% of every dollar spent by the government is borrowed....and that's only on the Federal level. And that's not touching the massive debt already incurred.

    You mean, thankfully Americans aren’t nearly as dumb as you Canadians.

    In any event, please explain this to me: When taxes are raised on cigarettes, beer, liquor, and gasoline, it reduces sales for those items. Thus, please explain how raising taxes on the economic engine of our economy will not likewise reduce economic growth at the same time it increases unemployment?

    Thus, since obviously it will inevitably reduce economic growth and increase unemployment, further draining federal coffers, how do you figure that federal revenues will increase? They won’t, federal revenues will inevitably decrease. Thus, raising taxes on the economic engine of our economy, especially during a severe recession, will be disastrous.

    Not to mention also that most of those taxes in any event will inevitably get passed onto the American people via higher cost for goods and services. Hence, it is also just an intellectually dishonest way of raising taxes on the American people.

    Hence, do me a favor, you stay on your side of the border and mind your own business, and I in turn promise I’ll stay on my side of the border and mind my own business.

    Yet, America with its low taxes and in stark contrast to all you socialist countries is the world’s lone superpower. Go figure.

    Not to mention also that if we allow the Dhimmicrats to turn America into another pacifist Euroloon nanny state country, then who will fight and defend freedom? Canada? Don’t make me laugh! The delusional Euroloons? Don’t make me laugh!

    What will happen is the world would inevitably become dominated by totalitarianism and everyone would lose their freedom.

    Indeed, you self-hating delusional leftists are incapable of connecting all the dots. Like I said, stick to your side of the border and mind your own business.
