Associated Press: Suddenly It May Be Cool To Be An American Again

Nauseating:

Suddenly, it may be cool to be an American again
VIENNA, Austria – She was a stranger, and she kissed me. Just for being an American.
It happened on the bus on my way to work Wednesday morning, a few hours after compatriots clamoring for change swept Barack Obama to his historic victory. I was on the phone, and the 20-something Austrian woman seated in front of me overheard me speaking English.
Without a word, she turned, pecked me on the cheek and stepped off at the next stop.
Nothing was said, but the message was clear: Today, we are all Americans.

This is how the children on the left think. When the opposition wins, they all threaten to move to Canada. When their side wins, suddenly the country is ok again.
For some of us, being an American never stopped being cool. Because some of us aren’t in desperate, constant need of approval from foreigners. We love this country because of what it is, not for whoever happens to be in the White House at the moment.

    I tried to see if anyone noticed that the Flag was upside down. That is a symbol of distress just like an SOS. It is supposed to mean that there is a problem and get help.

    It should be flown over Wall Street the way the markets are dropping.

    You obviously know about “Guilt by Association”.
    Did you know GBA is a logical fallacy?

    Barack is not guilty because of his fans.

    We’re just talking about how Barack Obama is popular. Don’t ruin it with fantasies of “Guilt by Association”. Savor it, instead. Barack Obama is popular. That’s what you want, right?

    The left tells us that it is important to be liked.

  • Man Train

    True. Bush/Cheney did make America very uncool…

    The 8 year nightmare is over (in 74 days)!
    God bless the World!

    You said it best, Man!

    We have ALWAYS been cool!

    Who do they all run to when in trouble?

    Who do they call on when they have failed in trying to feed their own?

    Where do they always sneak in to illegally?

    Who has, despite popular myth, the BADDEST A$$ Military?

    Yeah, it’s us……
    We’ve always been the envy of the world!
    We never stopped being cool!

    But it is insulting to anyone with any sense of nation pride that now that our nation has elected a Marxist negro, as the rest of the world wished for, we have now become cool enough for the rest of the world……

    FUCKING INSULTING!!!

    Hamas, Iran, Hugo Chavez, Russia, and Fidel Castro also like America again.

    Thank you, Barack Obama. You beat the “retarded hicks” (the left’s version of “tolerance”) and now our enemies, those people who tell us they hate us and everything we stand for, are singing America’s praises.

  • Man Train

    Bush was very “uncool” among Hamas, Iran, Islamic jihadists, Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez.

    You obviously know about “Guilt by Association”.
    Did you know GBA is a logical fallacy?

    Here is an example of GBA:
    Hitler was a vegetarian with a mustache.
    I am a vegetarian with a mustache.
    Therefore I am a Nazi.

    Do you see how this is a fallacy?
    The argument is valid, but the premise is false. Being a vegetarian with a mustache is not a prerequisite for Nazis. Similarly, deeply disliking Bush and his policies is not a prerequisite for being a “Commie” or an “Islamo-Fascist”.

    Here is another:
    McCain was the Republican Presidential candidate.
    Neo-Nazis vote Republican.
    Therefore McCain is a Neo-Nazi.

    This too is a fallacy. The argument is valid, but the premise if false.

    It’s important for the world to like us if you’re a lefty. Nevermind what socialist/xenophobic/restrictionist policies other countries have that we’re better off without.

    And I’ve traveled abroad – and boy do we NOT have some sort of monopoly on racism/elitism.

    Yeah, when someone mentions Austria, I immediately think of “diverse melting pot of diversityness.”

    The U.S. will continue to own labels such as melting pot, upward mobility and freedom long after Obama is out of office. And, you’re right, Rob – we’ll always be cooler than most everyone else because of it.

    “Hannitized” – I don’t think you are very good at this sort of guessing Likwid.

    STFU.

    “Obvious Troll”, “Reasonable Doubt” and “The Decider” all have the same IP and all use the same e-mail addresses.

    “The Decider” would use bob@huggles.com and then “ReasonableDoubt” would use it. Variations included addresses such as bob@nothanks.com and no@thanks.com. All used by all three nicks.

    There’s little doubt as to whether or not it was one person.

    The next time I call out a sockpuppet, I have good reason to. It’s not guessing, so STFU. The same e-mails seal the deal.

    I have friends in China, Mexico, Canada, that I do business with. They all are so envious that I get to live in such a fantastic place. They have actually read many American papers, at my urging, and every single one of them wonder why the American people are so hostile to such a great President as Bush. They don’t understand how come some people in this country are so negative and angry when they have so much. I have tried for many years to explain how our government works and doesn’t work, but no matter how disappointed or angry I get, they will tell me not to be, because no matter what I have more freedom than they ever will.

    Man Train – The universal fact of humanity and human psychology is that it is easier to influence willing positive change through friendship rather than through force.

    There is no friendship with Hamas, Fidel, Hugo, and Iran. They stand in stark opposition to many things dear to us, such as our lives.

    This fact is something Cons have failed to learn in kindergarten or through their authoritarian upbringing. Colonial imperialism…

    Opposing Hamas, Fidel Castro, and Hugo Chavez doesn’t equal “colonial imperialism”.

    That’s something that Hugo Chavez would say.

    Were you not implying that if one likes Obama one is either a “Commie” or “Islamo-Fascist”, or are you backtracking your argument because you realize you have committed a common logical fallacy?

    Not at all. There are a lot of good people who like Obama.

    Learn to read, bro. And save the insults.

    Don’t worry. America’s enemies love Barack Obama. They recognize a friend in him.

    The 8 year nightmare for America’s enemies is over.

    It’s not “cool” to be an American until America is again a world leader in human rights and freedom.

    Illegal detentions and torture are still a stain on the nation, actions more in common with 3rd world dictatorships.

    All those involved need to be brought to trial and Guantanamo Bay shut down.

  • Jerry

    she kissed me. Just for being an American

    What a bunch of Unadulterated BullS__T..

    Beating the public over the head with how the rest of the world “hates” us was always a load of crap. The folks who think clearly have always admired America for her Freedom and Prosperity. And, for the opportunity she’s offered the rest of the world.
    They’ve either admired us, or envied us for our beautiful country, economic freedom and strong constitution.
    They’ve called on us for help. Looked to us for hope.
    Hate, was never a factor.

  • di butler

    I don’t get why people freak over the waterboarding deal. Maybe it’s because I have been tortured for real, this seems like a no big deal to me. If it works, fine, if not do something else. I like the way Russian Pres. Medveded spoke for like 30-40 min. today, and never mentioned Obama. He did say that if we wanted to talk to him, we would have to come to him. Hhhmmm. He seems to be trying to call a bluff.

  • bob roberts

    Wow talk about delusional. Even most of Bushes old staff have abandoned him by now. You talk about the left hating America and being to down on the US of A and not waiving enough flags. Well your party just ran the most negative non-substantive campaign and lost horribly and I would argue that’s why. Your party has wrecked this country and the worlds economy and all you could talk about is flag pins patriotism. This should be a wake up call that your fear mongering is no longer working. Real patriots fight to defend democracy, they don’t wrap them selves in a flag as they rape lady liberty. That’s the difference between a patriot and a nationalist. Patriots love their country and fight to keep it free. Nationalist defend dictators who suspend democracy and civil liberties in the of preserving it. “Loyalty to the country always. Loyalty to the government when it deserves it.” Mark Twain “All you facist are about to loose” Woody Guthrie

    Undefined and alarmist rhetoric serves nobody.

  • Man Train

    If you did not mean to imply that one is either a “Commie” or “Islamo-Fascist” if they like Obama, then why did you not start your statement with a caveat such as, “Not that I am trying to make any implications, but…”? As is, your statement is easily “misinterpreted”.

    I’d just as soon assume you are lying. I pointed out a fault and you justify your reasoning after the fact. You need to be more honest with yourself.

    I’ll believe it when I see the rest of the world start doing some heavy lifting in Iraq and Afghanistan.

  • Man Train

    The universal fact of humanity and human psychology is that it is easier to influence willing positive change through friendship rather than through force. This fact is something Cons have failed to learn in kindergarten or through their authoritarian upbringing. Colonial imperialism (change through war/force) does not work unless you plan to wipe out or enslave those whom you are conquering.

  • Man Train

    Are you implying that Obama is “guilty” because people like him? Should he feel “guilty” because he is willing to give those whom you dislike a chance for diplomacy and friendship, or at very least mutual cooperation? Liberals have been dealing with the opposite problem for the last eight years. Get used to it.

    Perhaps Cons will peaceably assemble to express their grievances (protesting), only to be ignored, just like the Liberals have for the last eight years. It would be ironic to see Cons out in force after they ridiculed the “childlike”, “jobless”, anti-War/Bush protesters. Nah, that would be too civilized.

    Cons want/need physical conflict, posturing, and pigheaded machismo. None of this sissy chanting and protesting crap. Cons own all the guns. Why not use them? Go have yourselves a good old military coup!

    I think Obvious Troll is Palinisabimbo, and The Decider is his own dude. They speak on two totally different levels of consciousness.

    Palinisabimbo’s signature finish is, “carry on”.

  • Obvious Troll

    I see, the international community is glad the retarded hicks didn’t win again. Carry on.

  • Bat One

    Well your party just ran the most negative non-substantive campaign and lost horribly and I would argue that’s why. Your party has wrecked this country and the worlds economy…

    Not much on economic reality are you, Bob?

    Perhaps you’d care to explain why the price of gold, and oil, and other commodities is down, while the price of US Treasuries and T-bills is up? If this country has been “wrecked” along with our economy, how come the demand for government debt instruments keeps increasing. If conditions are as dismal as you’ve stupidly described them to be, seems like people would be investing their wealth elsewhere.

    Man Train – Are you implying that Obama is “guilty” because people like him?

    Your question was already answered.

    Should he feel “guilty” because he is willing to give those whom you dislike a chance for diplomacy and friendship, or at very least mutual cooperation?

    No, and nothing of that sort was said.

    Liberals have been dealing with the opposite problem for the last eight years. Get used to it.

    That’s not the language of diplomacy. More like childish tit for tat.

    Perhaps Cons will peaceably assemble to express their grievances (protesting), only to be ignored, just like the Liberals have for the last eight years. It would be ironic to see Cons out in force after they ridiculed the “childlike”, “jobless”, anti-War/Bush protesters. Nah, that would be too civilized.

    “Cons” don’t find this kind of behavior “civilized”.

    And no, we didn’t ignore you guys.

    Learn how to write, “bro”. I cannot know what you are trying to say unless you say it.

    I say what I mean. You’re the one looking for hidden implications and then demanding acquiescence and apology for these these implications.

    Why are you making a big deal about the enemies who support Obama?

    I am not a mind-reader.

    Refreshing honesty from someone seeing so many hidden implications.

    If you did not mean to imply that one is either a “Commie” or “Islamo-Fascist” if they like Obama, then why did you not start your statement with a caveat such as, “Not that I am trying to make any implications, but…”? As is, your statement is easily “misinterpreted”.

    I don’t make caveats for the benefit of those in the habit of assuming. There was no caveat present in my above comments.

    I’d just as soon assume you are lying. I pointed out a fault and you justify your reasoning after the fact. You need to be more honest with yourself.

    And the trainwreck of assumptions and mind-reading comes to its final act.

    Trainwreck man, I would like to tell you that I enjoyed our exchange, but in reality it’s boring to trade barbs with such an intellectual lightweight.

    Adios and good day, sir.

    You know, it’s odd thet you would bring this up….
    During the DemCon, how many conservative protestors interrupted or caused problems in the convention hall?
    THat’s Right…NONE.
    But for the leftists, they came to the RepCon intent on causing problems.
    I know you know why, but I’ll say it anyway….
    It’s the clear difference in Class & Deciency.

    This is great. Everyone now loves America and Americans. Obama is, already, the most popular and the best President we have ever had. The guy can do no wrong. What a blessing. No more work and every day is going to be pay day. For those that don’t like to work and haven’t worked for years, Carribean Cruises and paid-up golf memberships for all. Heaven could never be this good.

    Yeah, to the left its great but to righties like me, its called appeasement. I wonder how long it will take for BHO to start making nice with Chavez and the other leftist dictators around the globe?
