Why are democrats and Libs so worried about how the rest of the world percieves us in the USA?

Question

Why do we need their approval? What has the collection of the EU done for world peace or what actions have they taken Africa and their former colonies in Africa? Does the US even need Eurpope anymore. I also notice that much of Eastern Europe supports us like Poland and Romania so what does that say about Western Europe?

Answer 1

Because as George Bush put it in 2005:

"For more than 60 years, our nations stood together to face great challenges of history. Together, we opposed totalitarian ideologies with our might and with our patience. Together, we united this continent with our democratic values. And together we mark, year by year, the anniversaries of freedom -- from D-Day, to the liberation of death camps, to the victories of conscience in 1989. Our transatlantic alliance frustrated the plans of dictators, served the highest ideals of humanity, and set a violent century on a new and better course. And as time goes by, we must never forget our shared achievements.

Yet, our relationship is founded on more than nostalgia. In a new century, the alliance of Europe and North America is the main pillar of our security. Our robust trade is one of the engines of the world's economy. Our example of economic and political freedom gives hope to millions who are weary of poverty and oppression. In all these ways, our strong friendship is essential to peace and prosperity across the globe -- and no temporary debate, no passing disagreement of governments, no power on earth will ever divide us."

Hope this helps

Answer 2

This "what the Europeans think of us" is ridiculous. Every time a republican is president Europeans hate America. As a European I can say that with confidence, as I know this from both experience and studying.

Europeans are socialist scums that hates America just because her leader isn't a socialist totalitarian. C'mon, the majority of people in Europe wish for the destruction of America. **** these people!

Answer 3

If you think about it Western Europeans has caused the deaths of more Americans in just 1 war alone than all our other wars combined.

Not really most people that died in the Civil War died from disease not because of combat.

Answer 4

exactly my thoughts. they should be trying to please us. but no they are disrespectful socialists who protest our presidents visits but welcome obama with open arms. for decades we have been the protectors of the world. when have we ever needed France or Germany? they need us, we have never needed them. not that they have ever helped us out anyways.

Answer 5

You know, you're right.  We can totally weather it without the world.  F'em!  I mean, sure - our reputation for meddling in the affairs of other states has finally bubbled up to making us a target for terrorism for the last 25 years, but who cares?  I mean, who needs 'em?  After all, we only buy the overwhelming majority of our c**p from other countries, but s***w them!  And we've been clawing our eyes out for 30 years trying to develop exports to them so we can balance our trade deficit, but HEY - what waste of time, eh?!  And those damned European Socialists!  Why did we even bother pulling their garbage out of the fryer back in WWII?  I mean seriously, it's not like we consume everything of quality they manufacture, from alcoholic beverages to luxury automobiles to fashion apparel to...oh, it goes on and on, but WHO CARES?  And the Middle East?  I mean, COME ON, it's not even relevant that for decades our foreign policy has revolved largely been driven by an internal mandate to protect America's interests in that region due to dependence, right?  FORGET THEM!  And Africa?  Good GRIEF, if we'd just stop being human beings for a second we'd realize how much money we'd save by not trying to help them out of systemic breakdown brought about by British Colonialism.  Of course, it'd help if we'd stop deploying EHM's (economic hit men) to their regions.  Heck, they need to just take off and leave us alone...

WHO CARES WHAT THE WORLD THINKS OF US?

Answer 6

'Cause it makes 'em FEEL bad and if there's one thing they're about it's how they FEEL.

Hugs 'n Kisses!!! '08

Answer 7

Why?  They want to be like Europe!  You know, that place our fore fathers escaped from.

Answer 8

Why do we need the rest of the world? That's funny.

All the money we're borrowing to add to our growing $10 TRILLION deficit is coming from where again? I had no idea our troops were by themselves in Afghanistan and Iraq. I thought for sure some Brits were killed along with Italians and Polish.

I look around my house and I don't see too much American made. Not even the food in my refrigerator or the refrigerator for that matter.

France and Germany thought Iraq was a bad idea along with Colin Powell. So do most Americans NOW. The turmoil in Africa is no different than that in the Middle East and Latin America. A bunch of self serving idiots and our propensity to throw money at something in the hopes it will go away just fuels their ambitions.

Even the worth of our currency is set by the rest of the world.

Just thought I'd mention that. And that has nothing to do with Democrats either. h**l Republicans ran it into the ground.

Here's a thought why don't we tell China to get lost?

Update:Why do we pay taxes? What the h**l lenders like all banks  want their money back with interest. F-16's, B1 & B2 bombers are not free neither are ships, missiles, Humvees, ammunition or body armor. Our troops are fighting for freedom but they're not fighting for free. They want to get paid too as does the garbage collection guy. Where the h**l do stupid Republicans and Conservatives think the money for all this is coming from if not taxes? Again they'll borrow it via T-Bills and direct loans but the notes still have to be paid with interest. Not a d**n thing is free.

As far as corporate tax rates are concerned yeah it's 35% on paper but after depreciation among other non-cash items the rate drops significantly. It's not unusual for a corp to have a billion in sales and pay $10 million in tax and that's 10% not 35%.  I am just amazed by the economic stupidity and irresponsibility of Americans in this country. No wonder we have such a high bankruptcy rate. Everyone runs up their credit cards and then seem amazed when they have to make a payment. The same goes with mortgages. Like the $1.4 BILLION and $263 MILLION bombers that crashed a $200,000 house has to be paid for. PERIOD!!! That's why we have taxes. c**p is not free regardless of what the Republicans tell you. EITHER PAY YOUR d**n TAXES OR DON'T EXPECT c**p.

Answer 9

Because they can't Handle their OWN MESS and are busy solving OTHERS problems with the sole AIM of staying on as TOP in World Power-- You read the Paper or watch NEWS on TV and that will tell you ALL!!

Maybe OBAMA can change this?

Answer 10

Simple, they are appeasers.  So worried about hurting someones feelings (unless it's a Christian).  PCness will be the downfall of our country.

Answer 11

Cause they're socialist and he's socialist.

Answer 12

They're insecure about themselves.
