Defending the position of the United States in the world

When I worked in finance, we had saying. "Never take financial advice from someone more broke than you". It's pretty good advice right? The same advice is most definitely applicable to this subject. It's doesn't take much to see that the countries that criticize the us are in much worse positions than the United States.

Look at France. They just outlawed "citizen journalism". So average Joe Frenchman can no longer video tape any type of crimial activity if they witness it. Why? To prevent inciting riots. But let's be real here. The rioting problems France has had have been mostly a Muslim problem. Call it racist or facist or whatever you want, but it's the truth. So France's solution to Muslim terrorist, pretend they don't' exist and try to hide them from the public. Great plan. That will work out wonderfully.

How about Germany? They locked up a sixteen year old girl in a mental institution for what they call "school phobia". And what exactly is school phobia? The fear of government run schools. The girl had been home schooled her entire life and didn't want to attend public school. In Germany, that's enough to earn you a love me jacket. This is an extremely communistic means of ensuring the entire population gets brainwashed for the "greater good".



The Italians aren't safe to travel anymore. They recently traded five terrorists for one of their journalists. There is a reason the United States doesn't trade hostages. Terrorists are like little kids. If you reward their bad behavior, the behavior continues. What Italy has now done has re-enforced the idea that kidnapping will get the terrorists what they want. If I were Italian, I would be afraid to travel.

If that's not bad enough, the Italians put Oriana Fallaci on trial for insulting Islam. How would you like to be put on trial for exercising a right you thought you had to free speech?

The United Nations happens to be one of the largest critics of the US. The same organization that placed Sudan (where the Darfur genocide is occurring), Somalia (the place President Clinton sent troops in to stop genocide), and Rwanda (where nearly 800,000 people have died due to genocide) on the Human Rights Council. If that's not the fox watching the hen house, I don't know what is.

The examples of moral inconsistency in the world are endless. It is human nature to dislike and criticize anyone who is not like you. So I'm glad the world hates us. That says to me, we are not like you. Thank God for that. Never take moral advise from someone more morally broke than you.
