American Expats: Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder...Of Somebody Else
Monday, September 27, 2010
American Expats: Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder...Of Somebody Else Michael Philips points out a problem with American expats: they’re a huge source of anti-American invective. A funny thing for people too detached to still genuinely understand the place and the people that they’re generalizing about. Excerpt: "I remember 40 continuous years of idle expat discussions, cocktail parties and dinner parties where Americans are the first and most vocal to express hate for Nixon, Reagan, George W. Bush, Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh.. the list is endless and the patois is pure hate- America Liberalism...." source: http://preview.tinyurl.com/4zEvleths269c10 Sure sounds very familiar to me on Usenet! Hammer Hits Nail On Head, IMO |

Hate to alarm you but there are tons of Americans living all over the world. |

"Well, I wouldn't live here if the positives didn't far outweigh the negatives. Before the election, I interviewed the three main party leaders, and it struck me how lucky your country was to have had three such able, smart, fundamentally decent people to choose from. In my country, you can get a really decent president followed by a crazy, scary one. Or an idiot." http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/8025142/Bill-Bryson-Have-faith-science-can-solve-our-problems.html |

"According to recent estimates by the U.S. State Department, there are 6.6 million Americans living overseas" Some of these are American citizens but born overseas. Others are just adventurous. Some like the health care. |

Hammer Hits Nail On Head, IMO Follow up with appropriate quote: "American liberals don't love America. They despise it. All they love is their own fantasy of what America could become. They are false patriots." Another follow up: "Reader Doug left the following prescient note in the comments on the common expatriates’ hatred of ones’ own: I'm an ex-pat buckeye who's been living in Germany for 19 years after being stationed here for 6 years before that. and you can believe me when I say that I've lost more friends than won because of my views. And I do have a useful job. [ ... ] .The last 9 years have in many ways been the hardest in my life. But IMHO being right is more important than being liked. and from experience I can say that many useless expats love dragging the US down. Some fools enjoy ingratiating themselves with their hosts no matter what. I even went as far as to hang a picture of W in my lab just to f#&k with people. A picture of George Bush where it can’t be avoided is also something one can truly do to test people’s ‘tolerance’ for ideas other than their own, especially those who are more interested in talking about their own breadth than actually practicing it. Are these ‘inclusive’ lefties not the ones saying how they must “get in the face” of those who don’t carry their water? When it comes down to it, most leftists’ touted Agora of Ideas®©™, is a sullen and silent breadline where all are forced to finish off their LuRPs and are forced to profess their thanks for it." http://preview.tinyurl.com/4zEvleths271c10 Check the comments section for confirmations on this disease of anti American venom so endemic with these expats in Europe as so constantly conveyed by the Evleths on Usenet |
