Those Arrogant Americans

First of all, I think Fox got lucky.

Second, when we analyse what Dodd did, all it does is make him look like he's a Republican sellout.

It wasn't like the GOP are anti CEO bonus'.

And you know what? The Dems are now going to stop excessive bonus pay.

So what is the GOP going to do? They are going to change direction on their argument. Now they will cry that the Dems are trying to be socialist by dictating how much people can make.

This is what happens when you are stupid enough to let a right winger control the conversation.

See how they are trying to switch this to be about Chris Dodd?

Well I piss on Chris Dodd. I want him out for pulling that one slimy move. But that means they need to run another Democrat against him in his home state, because I certainly don't suggest replacing him with an asshole from the Grand Obstructionist Party. They created the policy of CEO golden parachutes for successfully bankrupting a company so they could renig on pensions. Now are you going to tell me that all Dems are just as bad as the GOP because Chris Dodd signed on to that GOP legislation?

The point is, it is unAmerican to question your government. If they are corrupt and evil, it is better that we just go along, because we wouldn't want to give our country a bad name.Meanwhile, we already have a bad name and the rest of the world knows the "truth" while we are brainwashed by the corporate media to think we know the "truth".

You wouldn't know the truth if it bit you in the ass.

I just didn't like it that he caved in at the last minute. Sort of made him seem like he was trying to be sneaky.

Thats the exact same shit the GOP did for the last 8 years.

So no, I don't approve of Dodd doing this.

And he seemed like such a good guy when he was leading the charge on NOT giving the telecoms retro active immunity.

But then again, when you look back on that, he lost. So in my opinion, he is a loser too.

He probably knew the telecoms were going to get their immunity but he wanted to at least say he tried. He was running for president at the time.

But notice if he were a republican and I accused him of being shady, you would say that I didn't have enough proof.

And if he were a republican, you would have swallowed his excuse for why he gave the bonus'.

I don't accept it.

But you would accept any GOP excuse. Right?

Those Arrogant Americans

We have a rock star president who for the first time in American history fired the President of a private corporation, General Motors, then immediately flew to Europe with an entourage of 500 courtiers and a worshipful media, bowed waist-deep to the King of Saudi Arabia, and proceeded to accuse his own country of arrogance.

In France, of all places.

Does anybody else think this guy is shockingly ignorant? I wonder if he has every really talked to a concentration camp survivor, or a Cuban refugee, or a boat person from Vietnam? Or a Soviet dissident. Or a survivor or Mao's purges.

Not to mention families with fallen American soldiers in the graveyards. Yes, he's going to Normandie, but will he apologize for our arrogance there, too? Does he really understand anything beyond the PC history of the world? Or will he just lie in his photo op at the American Cemetery at Normandy?

Ahhh, those arrogant Americans. First they rebel against King George III and all the crowned heads of Europe. Then they welcome tens of millions of poor and persecuted people from the Old World. Then they fail to bow down to Europe's greatest figures -- from Napoleon and Otto von Bismarck to the Kaiser, Hitler and Stalin. Then they fight a civil war, losing half a million people to liberate black people in America. Then they diss the man the BBC considers to be the greatest philosopher ever, one Karl Marx, whose followers killed 100 million innocents in the 20th century. And then, to top it all off, they liberate both the Western half of Europe (in 1946) and the Eastern half (in 1989).

What arrogance these Americans have. Either that, or a very, very -- no, stunningly -- ignorant man was just elected president. What kind of man has such an obsessive need to put down his own country? Especially given our real history? Has he ever read an honest history book?

those arrogant americans

you are the one lacking in the history twerp. America wouldn't have done a damn thing for the french if japan hadn't forced us in to the fray. We didn't lift a finger when hitler took france.

Only because you don't understand what they're saying about you.

Nah you've just got to know a bit of French, like cochon - that means "sweetie".
