I've lost track of how many... (Below threshold)1. Posted by cirby | August 13, 2006 4:26 AM | Score: 0 (0 votes cast)
I've lost track of how many europeans I've frightened with my unabashed Americanism.
When you tell someone you would do pretty much anything to protect the US from the common enemies, they don't have much of a response...

I've observed the same thing with my friends in London, and in my recent British travels.
Once you get in a discussion that goes beyond the script in the moribund european press, they don't know how to handle it.
You can just see the minds working, "hmmmm, something worth fighting for, protecting your family, moral cause, hmmmmm . . .oh, shit, that's not in today's "Guardian"!!!"

Say, Kim, only a very tiny minority of American adults will actually fight. Much of the rest will be either chickenhawks or opposed to fighting Bush's war based on principle.
You're not a chickenhawk, are you now?

Say, Herman, only a very tiny minority of American liberals will actually fight for the Islamists. Much of the rest will be either chickenshits or opposed to fighting Bush's war based on self-interest.
You're not a chickenshit, are you now?

Yes, Hermie is a chickenshit.
And, he has no penis. Nada. Nunca.
