L’Americain!

If you listen to the Democrats the whole world hates the US. I don't believe that is so and here is some evidence to back that assertion.

Don Suber on French President Nicolas Sarkozy’s speech to a joint session of the US Congress:

Sarkozy: America ‘built the greatest nation in the world’

Wow. I just finished reading Nicolas Sarkozy’s speech to Congress.

He waved the American flag in a way that would embarrass George M. Cohan.

Seldom has an American politician as unabashedly proud of this nation’s accomplishments.

Sarkozy does not want to just be friends — he wants to emulate us.

Sarkozy singlehandedly disproved the foolish notion by the Democratic Party that Bush made the world hate us.

Remember, Sarkozy is not saying these things to be nice. He is speaking to his nation. He knew going in that every single word he said is being reported and analyzed back home.

The French are his audience.

And here is what he said: “America did not tell the millions of men and women who came from every country in the world and who — with their hands, their intelligence and their heart — built the greatest nation in the world: ‘Come, and everything will be given to you.’

“She said: ‘Come, and the only limits to what you’ll be able to achieve will be your own courage and your own talent.’ America embodies this extraordinary ability to grant each and every person a second chance.”

….

You know what I want to here next year? Some presidential candidate — either party — say the same damned thing.

Amen brother, amen.

I added the emphasis just in case some out there missed the message. Sarkozy said more and Surber's got it so go hit the link and read the entire thing.
