It's good to know there are decent folks out there willing to quite literally stand by us during the constant assault on our national character.

Salute! You will not regret fighting the good fight as long as we live and breathe.

A picture says a 1000 words. Its good to know we are not alone. Its good to know we share values and priorities with our friends. I wish that picture included more "Friends", but those 3 flags shall always fly together.

A hearfelt Thanks to Australia and Britain's Leaders.

Sadly, the Canadian and New Zealand politicians have lost their way and are stumbling in the wilderness.

For at least 150 years French politicians have tried to screw the world by sucking up to the Germans, the Russians and now the Chinese.

Unfortunately, their historically self-serving attitudes have now reached a point where NO OTHER country will defend them when their time comes and it will!

When it comes to the French, to hell with NATO.

We in America know our enemies. France is one.

That is really beautiful. As an American, I have to say that when the UK and Australia are your allies, that all you need!

Leaddog2: New Zealanders are there somewhere helping quietly. Canadians are not. I ran into a couple of Canadians in my Caribbean cruise a couple of weeks ago. They complained that the U.S. was taking their oil below market price, and they had to pay higher price for their own oil. They refused to believe that the higher price they were paying was their govt's take as tax. Americans are a convenient global bogy man. Every govt. hides their incompetency behind the bogy man.
