All I can say is if these euroweenies are baffled then it's a pretty good sign the founding fathers were correct in their approach.

"Europe is scratching its head over possibility that the U.S. Supreme Court will strike down President Obama's signature legislative achievement. As the judiciary and the Obama administration trade legal barbs over the high court's authority, the idea that health care coverage, largely considered a universal right in Europe, could be deemed an affront to liberty is baffling. "

Remember the crazy secretary in the movie Splash? Or the old senile couple in Christmas Vacation? Brad Pitt in 12 Monkeys?

Pretty much what the U.S. seems like to the rest of the world. UTTERLY INSANE.

Wow. It's ok for us to be baffled by the things they do, but they shouldn't be baffled by our stupidity because we're always right, and they're "Euroweenies?"

Easy to see why most of the world think we're a bunch of dumbasses. And of course, we wouldn't be tipping our hand as to how stupid we are already by dropping billions on European defense while they spend their money on social programs. Nah...it took the heath care issue for them to realize what idiots we are if you're stupid enough to believe that.

Euroweenies? Right. The real fools are on this side of the ocean, not the other side.

There's a reason why right wing parties are on the rise in Europe.

Doing away with their healthcare systems is not that reason.

Yes, the Europeans fail to understand the concept of inalienable rights that no government can take away. A continent of serfs is what they remain.

It doesn't matter whether they like their healthcare or not. Our fundamental law, as written in the Constitution, is ALL THAT MATTERS.

What doesn't baffle the Europeans about America?

The last 100 years has proved what losers they are.
