   ...I'm losing my patience with people - liberals and 
conservatives alike - who look overseas to make arguments 
about how things should be done here at home. A few weeks 
ago, I debated a lesbian writer about gay marriage and she 
kept telling the NPR listeners, "Europe is way ahead of us 
on these issues." Democrats constantly talk about how 
Canada is "much more progressive" about health care. Who 
cares? The idea that Europe is ahead of us on the road to 
enlightenment is something only Eurocrats, fools, and 
"progressives" believe. If Europe jumped off the Brooklyn 
Bridge, would we be "lagging behind" Europe? America was 
founded to be something different, and it is something 
different...

And speaking of offering unneeded advice about how to run a 
country, Amr Moussa, the general secretary of the Arab 
League, has as much business lecturing the United States on 
how to create a more "representative" Iraqi government ...
This is  the same guy who swore "the gates of Hell" would 
swing wide if we toppled Saddam Hussein ...Moussa's own 
country -  Egypt - has been election-free for, well, ever. 
In fact,  with a couple quibbling exceptions - i.e., 
Bahrain and  Kuwait - the Arab League is a simply a club 
for crapulent  dictators, robed monarchs, and corrupt 
bureaucrats who see  nothing wrong with oppressing and 
brutalizing Arabs and Muslims so long as it's Arabs and 
Muslims doing the  brutalizing.
