US thinks Europeans are cockroaches

[legin]

Its from an editorial in the Daily Telegraph about a column written in the National Review by Denis Boyles:

(I would like to be able to look at the original but I have bits missing from my browser which prevents certain pages from loading)

The excerpted quote is:

"Let's say you take a chunk of real estate the size of a small continent, devastate it with two of the biggest wars in the history of human conflict, then add a couple of massive genocides, a near-total collapse of most social structures, a megadose of intolerant secularism, a decline in educational standards, a flat-line birthrate and a truly impressive brain drain. Now try to imagine what kind of ideas would survive to emerge from the wreckage.

"Right. You get nihilism, anti-Semitism, and anti-Americanism, the three knee-jerk, irrational sentiments - they fail to rise to the level of actual `ideas' that inform the modern intellectual life of Europe. In other words, you get cockroaches."

Anything going to happen to Denis Boyles for writting this ? A promotion perhaps ?

Starpass can write what she likes as far as I am concerned.

1. And Europe thinks

And Europe thinks America is provincial and stupid; how else could Stump have been elected? If indeed they think that, I'd have to agree with them. How much more do we have to be embarrassed by these faux sub=humans?
