Argentina is agitating again to take the Falkland Islands. Oil is involved and Argentina needs the money to keep their socialist government running a little longer

Down through the years America has had no greater or more reliable ally than Great Britain. Sure, we had a spat in 1776 but what family doesn’t. Since then a very special relationship has existed between us, a kinship.

Some 70 years ago Hitler decided he wanted to own England. Hitler was a menace but we saw little threat to our homeland. The world was a lot bigger then and 3000 miles of ocean offered significant protection. And then we had our own day of infamy with the formidable task of replenishing a devastated Navy and building a military to defend our own nation. But that special relationship came to the fore.

Together we ended the atrocity that was World War II. Two hundred thousand flag draped boxes came back. A hundred thousand more lie forever away from home, interred where they died. It is what brothers do for brothers.

When we asked for help to drive Iraq from Kuwait the British were the first to respond. When we sought support for the Iraq war it was British combat troops who took responsibility for the southern portion. They have always been there when we needed them.

Now they need us. They need us to stand with them, not with troops, not with money, just a few spoken words of support. Obama’s response? Bug off Britain! You are on your own. If Argentina, with backing from Hugo Chavez, wants to blockade the Falkland Islands, let them. Excuse my paraphrasing but this abandonment is beyond contempt.

Obama insults the Queen with a gift of his speeches on CD’s that will not play on European players. Michelle gives the Queen a condescending pat on the back. Barack in turn gives a gift to the Prime Minister equally as disrespectful as the one to the Queen. Obama knows what he is doing, and if he didn’t there is a White House department of protocol to advise him. His insults are intentional.

That’s not all. Obama refused to meet with Prime Minister Brown at the G20 Summit, at the UN and on at least three other occasions. Yet he is ready to meet with Ahmadinejad anytime. As if to leave no doubt where he stands, Obama ordered the premature banishment of the bust of Winston Churchill from the White House, sending it back to the British people in a gesture of no thanks.

The British drink tea instead of coffee and eat fish and chips wrapped in newspaper. Other than that they are normal, peaceable, very fine folk. Whatever is it that Obama could have against these Anglo Saxons who represent such a significant part of Americas’ heritage?
