American Hatred

[Guest]

You're a bit too dodgy for my taste.

Thanks for clarifying. It's good to have a hobby and yank-hating is as good as any. The fact that they are so bemused by why they are disliked serves only to make others despise them the more. Americans just don't get it and there is little point in trying to enlighten them, not when they think they have God on their side.

so you hate americans and gays

glad we cleared thsat up then

Ignore him.

We do!!

If you have a problem with that, may I suggest you take it up with God!

I can't remember which personality said it, but they said "God is British".

Of course he is! Having cream teas and scones up in Godington Palace.

I actually don’t hate George Bush. I only hate those americans who are full of ego, overly patriotic.

Actually, I hate George W. Bush. Hope that doesn’t offend anybody; it's not intended to. But placed into context, he is the first US dictator and an enemy of the modern state...be it the US, the UK, Western Europe or any other civilized nation. He is a retrograde into the problems and issues of the 1930’s. There have to be some repercussions.

Any culture can create a dictator, and the US (GWB) is no exception. The question is, are the institutions strong enough to overcome him or her. I understand in 2004, he contemplated usurping the elections and taking over all by himself. Dodged a bullet there. I have also heard that he has purchased 20,000 acres in Paraguay, just in case some person or nation wants to bring charges. Wise choice. I give the chances at better than 50-50.

Actually, using your implied definition of "American dictator", he wasn't the first--that honor would have to go to Franklin Delano Roosevelt--and the same things were said about him and his regime. For about the same reasons. Or lack thereof.

I bet TB has got the plot next door, do you think Mrs Bush, will ever twig the big George and Tony romance?
Thinking about it, probably not, she cant be too bright, she married George.

I understand Tony went to see the pope and beg forgiveness for the very very very SPECIAL relationship, as the big man is not too approving of certain types of sexual behavior.

Actually, the issue isn’t about you or me, so I don’t care.

No, FDR never openly opposed democracy. The only criticism of FDR is the common one that he ran for four terms. But the two-term limitation was not in the Constitution at the time. The Twenty-Second Amendment to the United States Constitution (the two-term limitation for the office of the presidency) had not even been proposed when FDR died in 1945. The only reason FDR kept running for president for four terms is because he kept finding himself running up against opposition that wanted to make peace with Germany, and any Brit with the brains god gave a little green apple knows what that would have meant to them. I am definitely not overstating things to say that the US saved Britain’s ass during WWII, and it was to do just that that FDR broke tradition and kept running for president. I suggest the book, Goodwin, Doris Kearns, No Ordinary Time (New York, Simon & Shuster, 1994), which has won the Pulitzer Prize for History, the Harold Washington Literary Award, the New England Bookseller Association Award, the Ambassador Book Award and The Washington Monthly Political Book Award.

Openly opposing democracy throughout US history is the sole preserve of GWB. (See my post “Demise of Democracy” on Politics and Social Issues of FF.) GWB is the only president in history who actually contemplated suspending democracy in the United States. And he’s still in there my kittens.

Damnable nonsense sir, as any one knows, the Americans knew they were on to a winner, they got exorbitant profit from sales of arms to Britain, and got an army that would do all the hardest fighting, against their enemy to boot.

The British army was far more experienced than the American army, and were more than prepared to do the job at hand, and indeed did do so, clearly showing the Americans how war should be conducted.

So the Americans got good profit and an ally second to non, to help fight a foe, that would have turned on America as soon as the Hun, had taken Ivan.

Its been a top secret, ever since the war, that the only reason Ivan beat the Hun, is because British troops, were in Russian uniform and fighting on the Russian front line, with out our boys, Hitler would have over run Ivan.

Our boys were secretly deployed just a couple of hundred mile out side of Moscow, exactly where the Hun attack faltered, this world owes Britain a dept that it can never repay.

God save the Queen.
