Augie......
Actually, I enjoyed the posts. I do not always agree with George Will, but most of the time he is dead on. Pat Buchanan is to the right of me (incredible), and a little bizarre at times, but on the immigration issue he has some valid points.
I hate seeing so many political posts on this thread, but I will take my one and only (I hope) time to say that frankly, I could care less what the foppish, arrogant, socialist, anti-semitic and appeasement loving Europeans think about us, our society, or our President. It would scare much more if they agreed with us, and it is assuring that they don't. They are hypocritical, thankless, envious, and self-centered, and few things would please me more from a policy standpoint than for the US to pull out all troops and other support from the continent and leave them to their own devices.
Thanks, I feel better now. My apologies to the board.
