For one thing, we'd use better diplomacy than that provided by James ******* Taylor.
Man! The people in this administration are beyond laughable. They are stupid and they are a laughing stock to the rest of the world.
that's been their plan. Make us weak militarily and a laughing stock to the world. and then sit back and watch our people be beheaded and burned alive
Republicans are the laughingstock of the world. Talk to anyone from a foreign country and you'll know. After the Iraq fiasco and the way they brought down the world economy. And the fact they want to keep health care from the majority of Americans. People all over the world think the GOP is the lunatic party. Show us where any country in the world admires Republicans or the GOP leadership.

Tell us, you world-savvy thing you, what foreigners have you gleaned this insight from?
I work at in engineering department of a global company with between two and three billion in revenue every year. We have many joint projects with companies from all over the world. I tend not to travel. They come here. I've had dinner and discussed politics with people from China, the Netherlands, Great Britain, France, Brazil, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and several other countries. Oh, and Arabia and Russia.
All of them, every single one, thinks the GOP is a kook party. They don't understand how or why Americans keep voting for them. Right away, you guys are going to scream liar. It's not true. But think about it. If you were a foreign engineer and you went to a country where one political party brought down the world economy. Invaded the wrong country. Thinks the best educational institutions in the world are the worst. Worship. stupidity. Thinks trickle down is a viable economic policy. Wants to keep the majority of the country from health care. Doesn't believe in science. And all the other Kook and Krazy and Krappy ideas the GOP offers, why would you admire them? For most people, failure is not a goal. It's something to be avoided.
Even you guys here on the USMB can't name a single GOP policy in the last 40 or 50 years that has been good for a majority of Americans. How many times have I asked that question? I've lost count. How many times have you answered it? There is no count. And believe me, everyone knows Republicans stopped looking for Bin Laden and let him go. They just don't understand why. Which is something I can't answer either.
