Here in the good ol' USA, the bottom line of our so-called American "heritage" is that we're all immigrants -- almost all of us are descended from non-native Americans, with the vast majority having European background.
Nevertheless, trashing Europe is the latest thing in GOP presidential politics. According to the campaigning R's, all of Europe is amoral, lazy, bankrupt, Marxist, and an abject failure. Anything European is to be avoided and feared.
Mitt Romney sounds the alarm: "President Obama wants us to turn into a European-style welfare state. This would poison the very spirit of America."
Rick Santorum says, "Obama is trying to impose some sort of European Socialism on the United States."
Newt Gingrich has an anti-Romney attack ad which shows a snippet of Romney speaking a bit of French. The apocalyptic voice-over tells us, "Just like John Kerry, he speaks French!"
Mon Dieu! C'est horrible, oui?
Non! How about we permanently deport these Rightards to Switzerland? Newt would look cute in lederhosen.
