Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.

The lily-white Obama Administration that doesn't appreciate Great Britain.  They gave him a jacket to cover up his golf shirt and then gave him the back seat -- in the corner, away from the table.



Maybe if he loses, we'll be spared the national embarrassment of a U.S. president not being invited to a royal wedding.

At least he won't give the Queen a DVD player that won't work with British electricity or I-pods that are pre-loaded with his "greatest speeches".

And if Romney visits Britain this year, maybe he won't get the year wrong by ... three years!

Or if Romney delivers a toast, maybe he won't try to talk over the British national anthem.



The easy way to understand Obama -- he really does do all the really stupid things that the MSM zombies only think that Sarah Palin does.

Try as I might, I really do not understand the import of this post at all, unless it's not meant to be treated as an organic whole.

Most of it makes sense--it's WhyteRain cherry-picking things that Obama has done wrong in situations involving the British royal family and whining about the 'MSM'--but the first two sentences and first image make the post start off on a somewhat baffling note that just discolors the whole thing.

Some of the countries are terribly miscategorized. It is safe to say that the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Slovenia, and Croatia are part of "Catholic Europe". Communist influence in such countries is dead. Identity of western Germany as "Protestant Europe" is shaky because parts of western and especially southern Germany are strongly Catholic.

The "Asia" category lumps countries as disparate as the Philippines (which is culturally similar more to Latin America -- consider its history -- than any other part of Asia, even to such near-neighbors as China, Vietnam, Japan, Indonesia, and Malaysia) with India (a region in itself) or Turkey. There is no distinction between Islamic and non-Islamic countries.  Morocco and South Africa have little in common. Jordan and Morocco belong together. 

You could argue for, for instance, Japan being practically anywhere on this stupid chart, since there isn't a clear division between 'secular-rational' and 'traditional' in Japanese thought; I could say similar things about the so-called 'survival/self-expression' dichotomy for vast swathes of the Third World.
