Calling Kettle Black

Obama called the US arrogant in Europe today. Were we arrogant when we saved free Europe from the Kaiser and the Huns in World War I? Were we arrogant when we turned back the tide of fascism and saved Europe from Hitler's thousand years of darkness-the Reich wasn't a bit arrogant-was it? When an astounding number of my Dad's classmates from small town Virginia left Higgins Boats to face certain death on Omaha Beach-I guess they were just being arrogant-laying down their lives for complete strangers, many of whose grandchildren hate America and Americans today but have a cozy feeling to their former oppressor, Germany. Many of those Virginia boys never enjoyed the chance at fatherhood, so no grandchildren exist from them today. I guess it was just bravado and braggadocio that closed the Fulda Gap and prevented Stalinist domination of all continental Europe. This President is a dandy peacock who never served and probably would have evaded the draft if he had been called to the defense of liberty in his nation's uniform. How embarrassing to have a young empty-headed leader issuing "wea culpa" to some of the most arrogant bastards to walk the earth. Haughty Parisians, domineering Germans, self-superior Europeans of all stripes who are certain they are better than Americans in every way and have just had their faulty preconceptions confirmed by an idiot President. Every aspect of European liberty was paid for in American blood twice and American treasure constantly for a bunch of Europeans who even shirked the burden of their own defense. The world needs a little more American arrogance to turn the tide of appeasement, American boldness to reverse Islamist fanaticism, and enhanced liberty that Obama is so gladly relinquishing to please a world that never had America's best interests at heart.
