The world is officially upside down.
The French are on the verge of being more Pro-American than Americans. A majority of French people support Nicholas Sarkozy, whose critics claim he is too close to George W. Bush in terms of vision. A majority of Americans are against George W. Bush at this moment in history. I pains me deeply to admit the French are right and my fellow Americans are wrong.
Germany has a Prime Minister in Angela Merkel that is Pro-Israel, where it is illegal to engage in antisemitic demonstrations. In Israel, Ehud Olmert has policies that a majority of Israelis feel are crippling Israel. It has a 20% Arab population that is mostly Anti-Israel from within. So Germany is now more Pro-Israel than Israel.
What’s next? Turkey having an Armenian President? The President of India vacationing in Pakistan?
Having other people like us is fine. What is not fine is being self-loathing. It is ironic that two decent nations such as the USA and Israel consist of a large plurality of individuals that hate the USA and Israel.
When France and Germany care more about the USA and Israel than they do themselves…when France and Germany represent the voices of reason in this world…then intellectual armageddon is officially upon us.
I am off to watch Jeff Foxworthy and Larry the Cable guy talk about rednecks. At least rednecks are red staters that like being American. They like their cars fast, drinks cold, and world right side up.
I used to wish Blue Staters would disappear and take their smugness with them to France. Now I do not know where I wish to send them. Some would say Australia, but even the upside down nation is totally right side up under the leadership of John Howard.
Perhaps we can stuff them all in San Francisco, and hope that the next Earthquake sends them to Russia. Then again, the Russians have not done anything to deserve such a punishment. On the other hand, a few months living under Putin may make even the Pelosiest liberal appreciate George W. Bush.
Until then, leftists should replace their symbol of the donkey with that of the bat, given that they spend most of their lives living @ss backwards and upside down.
