Our European Children
Irwin Graulich, 01/09/04
Remember your kids during those impossible teenage years. You gave them
protection, entertainment, tried to teach them values, provided education as
well as the latest hi-tech devices---yet somehow they rebelled and detested
you. Children believe their "parental figures" are usually wrong and often
use the occasion to be quite critical. Yet many Americans like Colin Powell
and Howard Dean keep thinking, "How can we get all those little European
sophisticated, pseudo-intellectual grown-up juveniles to love us?"
Should Americans be surprised that Europeans hate us with such passion? Old
Europe, led by France, Germany, Austria, Belgium, Greece, and a few other
somewhat childish nations think they know more than US. They wonder how a
much younger country called America can be so advanced morally,
technologically, scientifically and societally in comparison.
For 400 years, Europe directed world events on a grand scale. Suddenly, they
have evolved into political irrelevance. Since European Power cannot compete
in any manner with American Power, and now even feel threatened by Jewish
Power in Israel, their strategy has changed into tearing down both entities.
A totally weakened Europe shows its strength by developing an innovative
plan to save Jews by weakening Israel to its vulnerable pre-1967 days. Since
America cannot be diminished in such a manner, the European kindergarten
will continue to criticize and belittle every American move. According to
Chirac, Schroeder and their legions, evil is not the greatest threat in the
world. It is American power, American aggression, environmental degradation,
global warming and Israel.
Old Europe selfishly craves their casual lifestyle and security first, not
freedom. They worship the safe position and have antipathy for those who
stand up for what is right and wrong in the world, especially against
Islamic Fundamentalism. Europeans would like nothing better than to sit in o
utdoor cafes, go to their topless beaches, enjoy long vacations from work,
get free government healthcare and pensions, all while not rocking their
socialist boat.
Western Europeans contend that America and Israel are just two young
countries with very little to teach. They consider themselves smarter and
more knowledgeable due to thousands of years of experience. However, an
older civilization does not in any way constitute a wiser one, evidence the
fact that Europeans seem to ascribe to the bin Laden manifesto, holding
Israel and America as the greatest dangers to the world; not Iran, Libya,
Syria or religious fundamentalism.
Beginning in 1948, Europe saw Israel as an outpost of their values. During
the last 25 years, Israel has matured into an American outpost, making
Israel doubly dangerous; posessing both Jewish and American values.
Europeans are angry because Christians (and now Jews), who believe in God,
have the ultimate power to do good and back it up with overwhelming force.
Who the hell do those Americans (and Israelis) think they are without
(Third) world agreement and the UN stamp of approval?
Amoral Europe believes in the United Nations because they do not have a true
reference point for right and wrong, like religious America and Israel whose
Bible dictates terms. Therefore, self-righteous Europeans put their faith in
a majority vote for moral decisions. Enter a religious George W. Bush who
believes he knows better than France, Germany and the balance of secular
Europe. This Texas cowboy has a silly notion that God is our guide for right
and wrong, not Kofi Annan.
Obviously, Chamberlain DNA has infected Europeans with fears of another
Hitler arising. The result being that "peace in our time activists" will do
whatever is necessary to lessen the danger of war. They conveniently forgot
that force can be used for good, evidence the war that stopped The Holocaust
and gave Europe its freedom in 1945.
Appeasing the Islamacists by weakening Israel and reversing America's
unchangeable Middle East policy is their untenable solution. Like children,
France and Germany seem to have little dignity. They now want contracts
(their allowance) even though they have misbehaved. Americans put their
lives on the line to get rid of murderous torture chambers in Iraq, while
they made money and were business partners with the evil dictator.
Actually, America happens to be too good to be true. No one could possibly
be that decent, or have a true biblical mission to improve the world. The
European cause is to have a good time on this earth, which is the reason
churches are empty but the sex clubs are filled. Simply put, America makes
the historic European nations look like whining babies.
Children primarily want to be loved and taken care of in their cradle.
Europeans go even further with their cradle to grave socialism. When the
French, German and Italian Unions go on strike kicking and screaming for new
contracts, their governments always capitulate which is why European farmers
command 50% of the EU's operating budget. Americans and Israelis primarily
want to do the right thing and make their own breaks economically.
Whenever this child analogy is expressed, Europeans become highly insulted.
They quickly point out that the facts on the ground show them to actually be
the older, wiser, more mature parents. If their analogy is carried to
fruition, our much older parental figures should be viewed in their true
condition--as decrepit elders in need of assisted living care, with senility
and Alzheimer's setting in rapidly. These "older" nations no longer seem to
make any rational sense and have become quite forgetful of the lessons
learned from "past events."
Whether we consider antiquated Europe our children or our parents, it is
back to diapers and spitting up...because certainly they can no longer take
care of themselves.

Atheism teaches that there is no God, hence no God-given rights. That
ideology coupled with a system that believed in the superiority of the state
at the expense of the individual was murderously synergistic.

Well, one reason might be a comparison of European cultures to
children as if America was their parent. America is not the world's
parent.
