I was going to make a post talking about how many liberals will put Europe on a pedestal, but
crescimento happened to beat me to it in his post "
Screw you Europe". So, instead of recreating the wheel, I've just
left a lengthy comment there and am providing this entry as a reference for those of you who have something to say about the topic.
As an aside, for those of you who don't know my politics: I tend to be fairly liberal in some areas. The term "liberal", however, has become synonymous with ignorance to me; it's very similar to how I might be reluctant to call myself a "Christian" if I believed in God.
