TELLING IT LIKE IT IS: Fred Thompson is Great!

EXCERPT (HAT TIP NRO):

It bothers Americans when we're told how unpopular we are with the rest of the world. For some of us, at least, it gets our back up -- and our natural tendency is to tell the French, for example, that we'd rather not hear from them until the day when they need us to bail them out again.

But we cool off. We're big boys and girls, after all, and we don't really bruise that easily. We're also hopeful that, eventually, our ostrich-headed allies will realize there's a World War going on out there and they need to pick a side -- the choice being between the forces of civilization and the forces of anarchy. Considering the fact that the latter team is growing stronger and bolder daily, while most of our European Union friends continue to dismantle their defenses, that day may not be too long in coming.

RTWT.

Thompson calls a spade a spade, while the Dems whine about how - cuz of Dubya and Iraq - we're hated worldwide, and how they're gonna fix it - (by making us more like the French and by appeasing Iran and Syria).

Well, the Lefties are wrong and Fred is right. And despite the Dems' whining, IT IS STILL MORNING IN AMERICA.
