Your contempt for the U.S. seems almost pathological.

[excon]

Hello again,

Looks to me like the right wing is skitzo... You got Jindal talking about NOT protecting the rich boys and their toys. You got Bill Kristol saying tax the rich...

Then you got Laura Ingraham saying that the way to beat the Democrats is NOT become Democrats... It's to be even MORE CONSERVATIVE...

I'll betcha you guys are more Laura types, huh?

[tomder55]

Yup . There are some Repubics in a panic. News to them you can't out Democrat Democrats... so why try ?

[paraclete]

And I think it's a great failing of your society that you haven't learned any manners toward your allies.

Manners toward our allies, what is that about? We understood manners towards our allies way back, we saw how McArthur operated in WWII. We have seen your manners many times. I saw some of it the other day when Evita referred to our Foreign Minister and Defence Minister in their official capacity not by their titles but by their names and not even a Mr in sight. Our society is a classless society and so every tall poppy much be brought to reality..

From an outsiders point of view, much of what you do is strange, even quaint.You preach free trade but are highly protective. You espouse high ideals in government and yet your government is corrupt, you seem to take form over substance every time. It is extremely difficult to discern exactly who is running that place.

Got to admit ;that's a good point. He was an A$$ Hole .

[speechlesstx]

Ah, so to be friends we need to be a$$holes toward each other? That explains a lot.

[speechlesstx]

We can see which direction the left is going to go this year... same old, same old...

The Democratic senate that hasn't passed a budget in 3 years has no plans to pass one this time around.

Wasn't that what Obama ran against, more of the same?

[tomder55]

raising taxes is a higher priority for her than passing what would be the first budget in four years

Patty Murray must've been sampling that legal weed .

The truth is that the President has no intention to do budget balancing with the extra $1.6 trillion he wants to confiscate. He just wants to give constituents more candy.

You know this how?

[tomder55]

Well for one thing ;his annual budget already exceeds the $1.6 trillion his tax increases would generate in a decade . And we know he already plans to add $500 billion in new spending proposals .

What you don't understand speech is it is a local traint to take the mickey out of your friends. We don't run around patting people on the back, or as we say ,pissing in their pocket, we will tell you when you are going the wrong way.

You think we don't like you, well it is because of your foreign policy, and of course, your multinational corporations, who are like leeches.

You hate McDonald's but you support over 780 locations. You hate our foreign policy but you're taking Hillary on a nice little wine tasting. You hate our products but are more than happy to ship us your crappy wine. You want us, you need us, you love us, admit it next time you feel like meddling. And have a Big Mac.

Mc Donalds sells crap, if you eat like that no wonder you are screwed up, as I said your multinationals are like leeches. We can be pleasant to visitors and our wines are world class, so if you don't like them it is a matter of taste. I think Hilary might have been amazed we had a military manufacturing industry.We understand markets just as you do, we would like to see less of you in ours, just as we would like to see less of you in our part of the world. Any threats that exist here are those you have manufactured and exploited for your own gain. You wanted a free trade agreement with us don't complain if it means our products wind up on your shelves

That almost sounds both a bit paranoid and xenophobic... Of course with your proximity to China... maybe you would prefer them instead of us... but they won't be as nice... plus we have no desire to take over... China on the other hand is slowly trying to do just that in that part of the world.

[paraclete]

Lots of chinese goods on our shelves, we don't discriminate, we even buy from you. I don't have problems with the chinese, they generally stay at home, they are industrious and we don't hear them telling us how to do things

That your NEWS reports on that is... I've seen so many cases where stories were fabricated or distorted over the years In the US, in Europe and the UK... I consider most journalists about as trustworthy as a used car salesman.

[tomder55]

just as we would like to see less of you in our part of the world.

I think you and a few outliers are alone in that opionion. Your government was more than happy to forward base us... and of course neighbors a little closer to the dragon's intimidations are begging us to set up shop.

Get used to it.The Obots plan is to pivot east.

Naturally, the part where Australia supports nealy 800 McDonald's went right over your head.

[paraclete]

Tom don't be niaive, our government doesn't know its arse from its apex. If they can park you in some remote spot, what do they care. It's development they don't have to fund. If Japan wants you, go to Japan, but I've heard you have worn out your welcome on Okinawa. If Korea wants you, go to Korea. What you don't get is your lifestyle and your culture isn't acceptable in some parts of the world. Go to Pakistan, they would like more of your culture. I think the East has had just about enough of you, concentrate on your own problems, we will let you know when there is one in this part of the world you can help with. How are the people of Haiti by the way, how many have you lifted out of poverty?

[smoothy]

Vegimite didn't go over too well outside of Australia...
