Drudge Exposes Clark as Liar

[Gustaf]

I think it's got something to do with just how much American politics affects the rest of the world. I get your point as far as really interior matters are concerned (abortion, say)

Bingo.  I do NOT consider foreigners discussing US foreign policy as trolls, but anything else seems strange to me.  

Are you referring to anyone in particular? I have discussed gay marriage with you, but I thought that the discussion of general politics would be open for everyone. It's not like the American forum members are gonna influence policy a lot more than the non-Americans...

JMF exposing his xenophobic ways again...I remember this from the old board like it was yesterday.

I seem to recall JMF telling RP how Britain should run its health service. Which, in this context, makes him a hypocrite as well as a xenophobe.

Don't bother pointing out hypocriticism to Jmfcst.

Sorry to bash you JMF, but when I see you tee off on European members, I can't resist!

I don't recall that.  But in any case, having opinions about your neighbors is one thing, but going over and knocking on their doors in order to voice your opinion of their internal affairs is quite another.

I understand that, though I personally never really commented on how the US should manage its affairs. Still, it's not going to stop me from pursuing an interest in American politics.

Same goes for me!

Yes, our discussion was an in-house debate among Christians.  And obviously Leip likes an open forum...All I am saying is that I don't understand what prompt's a person to go mucking around in another country’s internal politics.  The last thing I care to know is what goes on in my neighbor's house.

If some foreigner has a moral objection to my politics, in that they find me going astray of sound moral doctrine, then I welcome their correction.  But apart from morality, there are other reasons why I like to live behind closed doors.  Likewise, there are reasons for America maintaining its own sovereignty.  

But there is no need for me to dissect why non-citizens care about internal US policy.  Even though I think it strange people do such things, I’m not curious enough to want to know the reasons behind their actions.

And your point?  I may consider my neighbor foolish, but I'm not going to give him a call to voice my opinion.

OK, then I wont tell you.

You're quoting "Back to the Future" instead of the bible? I am shocked!

Actually, I throw many stolen "lines" into my postings, but few pick up on it.  One of the funniest instances is when I mentioned migrendel's "highbrow Marxist ways".  He didn't know it was a lyric from the band White Town, but he admitted the term described him well.

But I usually give scripture proper credit when I quote from it.

Yes, I know you do, it's funny with quotes, I try to use them  occasionally myself.

If ever there was a time for citizens of other countries to take an interest in U.S. politics, voice their opinions, it is now.  

We are in the same swimming pool.  The floating rope does not protect those on one side of the rope, from someone who insists on urinating on their side.

The world has nearly as much at stake as do Americans.

I remember that.  It really wasn't relavant to discussion at the time, however.

You sound like one of those who cried for days in 1983 after watching "The Day After".
