Just recently, the Axel Springer CEO Mathias Doepfner wrote an article Europe, Thy Name is Cowardice. It is an example of the US reactionary type of debasement rhetoric...
Look, I know what you are trying to say here, but what I truly resent is a kneejerk tendency to generalize American sentiment. It's the same thing I saw right after the election: people wrote diary after diary on dailyKos bashing the "red states", because "they voted for Bush".
I am from a red state. I did not vote for Bush.
That's the analogy I see here, i.e. I do not appreciate your "it is an example of the US reactionary type of debasement rhetoric".
All of the US is like that?
I think not.
With all due respect, I think you should adjust your thinking about Americans.
It's an excellent post, but you pretty much diluted whatever point you were trying to make by typing that one phrase.
And as to you not voting for Bush, I still have my doubts... With such a name, you must be part of the militaro-industrial complex - red red red! In the long run, we're all dead. John Maynard Keynes
Yeah, I would certainly hope that everyone here understands that not all Americans, not even the majority of Americans, are reactionary, or any other ugly stereotype that is out there. Of course, it is also difficult to ask the world not to judge us by our leaders when half the voters in the country supported the idiot...
