Those Arrogant Americans


The American Cemetery in Normandy

From American Thinker
By James Lewis

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 ever 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 Normandie?

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 -- largely because millions of benevolent voters believed that we owe black people a presidency. They may come to see that as their biggest mistake ever. In the next couple of years they will see a tripling of government debt, high inflation, a permanent loss in their personal wealth, and a major devaluation of the dollar.

Which, to judge by his recent television performance, should just make him giggle quite inappropriately, in front of God and everybody.

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?

I will never forget the first time I entered France , Marseilles, the first foreign port I visited. All excited to be in Europe, and all of the guys felt the same. Didn't know what to expect,but we were briefed on the sites to take in by documents handed out. We went over the side, and sat in the liberty boats, and headed toward shore. As we entered the port and headed towards the docking facilities, we passed a sea wall, and painted on the side in big white bold letters we saw " Yankee go home" We looked at one an other and couldn't believe what we were seeing. We were told that the French people loved us and to see that painted on the wall was like cold water in your face. We didn't have the bounce that we started with in our steps, and we were young, and became very cautious. As it turned out,the French(at that time 1952) loved the American dollars, evidently nothing else. That was my first experience with the infiltration by the communists. It wasn't just the French as we found out later on, but also in Athens, we were advised not to go into the older section of the city, which were declared "off limits" because of the many sailors that they found in the streets.
You couldn't find any stories in the newspapers about this, as they didn't want to offend those countries we were in, but that is just one of thousands of facts that happened. And this just after the hundreds of thousands of American lives that were sacrificed to free Europe.
Pray for America my friends, all of the great societies that went the way of the world were destroyed by GOD. The more we become like "The World", the closer we move towards destruction, and this is the way Obama is taking America, we will no longer be the United States , but the Divided States. Remember, Divide and Conquer.
