Does the rest of the world think we are crazy?

[bayoubill]

Why does there have to be a downside?

The US used to be the political and cultural leader of the free world. Where did we go wrong?

Why is the rest of the world laughing at us or looking on in shock?

it certainly doesn't help when we've got back-to-back clowns (GWB & BHO) as president...

Ah, Communist Globalists. You guys crack me up. So frightened and obsessed with what the World thinks. We do have serious problems here. Our Government is corrupt and Treasonous. So lets fix that. But lets not fix it based on what the World thinks. Lets fix it the right way and for the right reasons. Time to reign in Government and get back to following our Constitution. If the World isn't good with that, oh well, too bad. We have to start thinking about the American People again.

Indeed- Like I said earlier, who gives a rip what the rest of the world thinks.

F--k em'

Yep, we're finding out what two consecutive terrible presidencies can do to us.

It's even worse when they're from the two different parties. All we get is finger-pointing and deflection.

Not a pretty sight.

Why the U.S. government is shut down: 5 theories from abroad - The Week

In an editorial headlined, "Wake up, Jefferson, they've all gone mad!" France's Le Monde writes: "There's no rational explanation for the Tea Party's actions. It's pure hatred of the president, a conception of politics as permanent civil war."

For the French, ObamaCare is not the real issue. "This is the pretext chosen by the core extremist, fundamentalist, the Republican Party, the Tea Party, to sabotage President Obama. This reflects a growing polarization of American public life to shame the Founding Fathers of this great Republic."

Which is why I'm a conservative and much in favour of governments being as small and powerless as is consistent with preserving order.

Governments do things badly and should do as little as possible...

The rest of the world thinks the Republicans are both crazy and dangerous. You only have to talk to people who come here from other countries and ask them.

Where I work, 60% of the products are sold overseas so I get a lot of opportunities to talk to Germans, Africans, Japanese, Chinese, Indians and so on. They don't understand how Americans can keep putting stupid people in power. And many don't don't believe that majority of Republicans believe the earth is only a few thousand years old or evolution isn't real. They say only the uneducated or super religious believe that in their country, but they don't believe the Republicans are super religious because they want to bomb other countries and they hate the poor.

True story.

The US is the most powerful nation on earth. Politically, militarily and economically. Everything we do impacts the rest of the world.

What does the world think of us?

1. Politically: The US is unstable. Our government is broken. We cannot accomplish the most simple tasks let alone act as leaders of the free world. We can't pass a budget, agree to keep our government going, agree to pay our debts.

2. Justice System: We have more of our citizens in prison than any nation on earth. We are one of the few "civilized" nations in the free world that still relys on capital punishment. We continue a fruitless "War on Drugs" than encourages violence and fills our prisons

3. Gun Violence: We have a murder rate three times that of similar nations. We have endured assasinations of our leaders and an endless stream of massacres and yet we show no will to do anything other than accept it

4. Environment: We allow science to become a political issue, ignoring scientific reason because it interferes with our politics. 95% of scientists agree that manmade global warming exists and still we treat is as a political threat not a natural threat

5. Education: America used to set the standard for education but we now settle for "good enough". If our students can pass an arbitrary exam, we are satisfied with the level of education. Our students perform poorly when compared to our peers and we are unwilling to do anything about it. Our education system is disjointed and unfocused

The rest of the developed world is pretty much shaking their heads. We are doing a lot of dumb things.

We elected an ideologue who believes in tearing the country down. They have to think we're stupid. It's like the Palestinians. They elect terrorists to run their country and they don't know why they're in poverty.

Playing in pig shit and making up games with toilet seats is how Republicans show they are 'superior'. Thanks for explaining that.

What makes you think they're Republicans? I don't see any Bush T-shirts.

Living in Europe, I find that people generally like Americans, but many do not like the American government.

Agreed. Except most Europeans can't see that their culture, heritage and way of life is under threat from the biggest and most powerful socialist experiment mankind has ever seen:

The European Union​

About 70 years ago Great Britain held sway over the third of the globe with an iron fist. Now, after signing the Maastricht Treaty in '92, and thus becoming a signatory of the European Court of Human Rights, we have to seek approval from Brussels before we can even think about deporting foreign terrorists and al-Qaeda leaders in our midst.

Hummmmmmmmmmmmm

Why would "Le Monde" write that editorial.......could it be that they are..........

"In 1981, it backed the election of Socialist François Mitterrand on the grounds that alternation of the political party in government would be beneficial to the country. The paper endorsed centrist candidate Edouard Balladur in the 1995 presidential election and Ségolène Royal, the Socialist Party candidate, in the 2007 presidential election."


Socialists of the world, united.
