Capital of Democracy
Did you see that Joe Biden said that Brussels, Belgium, has a “legitimate claim” to the title of “capital of the free world”? How insane is that?
“Oh no! A new world war is breaking out! How will we save democracy?”
“Quick, let’s call Belgium and find out what to do!”
What are they going to do? Serve tasty waffles? When was the last time Belgium did anything, if ever? They’re like a nothing. If they were a character in a movie, they wouldn’t even be named in the credits and would instead be listed as “European Country Number 3″. Saying Belgium could have a legitimate claim to “capital of the free world” is like saying Aquaman could have a claim to the title “greatest super hero”… which if true means that next big crisis, we’re all dead.

So, how many divisions are the Belgians sending to South Korea? There’s a free nation under imminent threat of attack!

That seems to me a perfectly legitimate statement since Biden and Obama plan to remove the U.S. from inclusion in “the free world”.

Calling Brussels the “capital of the free world” is like calling Detroit “the motor city”. Except in Brussels’ case it never was true.

When was the last time Belgium did anything if ever?
Well, before WWII they kept the Brits and French from positioning troops in their country because that would be “provocative” to Hitler and, after it started, they folded while the Brits and French were begging them not to until they could prepare their positions (like another day or so).
So if by “Free” you mean, “Don’t want to get dictators mad at them and then fold like a cheap suit”, well, they’re the kings.
They make the French look like Huns.

How about Bastogne? Who was it that fought a desperate battle there that helped the free world defeat the greatest evil in a thousand years? Oh, wait….

Chocolates. Belgium chocolates. Yum.

And not just Bastogne, but Antwerp. If Belgium hadn’t provided Bastogne Nazi Germany would have had to lose the last offensive in the west in France or somewhere icky. Without providing Antwerp for the Nazi’s to shoot V-1′s at incessantly they would have had to waste them all on London.

Obozo and Uncle Joe are desperately trying to hype another government for the world to call rather than them in the event of a crisis. With Deep Horizon, it has painfully dawned on them that they are woefully out of their depths should that red phone ring at 3:00 a.m.

Sorry, did I say “…should that red phone ring at 3:00 a.m…” ?
Meant to say WHEN…”they are woefully out of their depths WHEN that red phone rings at 3:00 a.m.”

I think we should vote on it.

Joe Biden’s mouth is certainly one of the best free forms of entertainment in the world today. Ranks right up there with the waterskiing squirrel and skateboarding dog on teh yootoobez. Why is it that Barry-O and his peeps are able to admit they dont like how awesome America is, and are still in charge of things? If I only had a time machine…I would go back in time and get all 6ft 3 inch 200 something pounds of pissed of George Washington to come whoop some liberal booty!

My T-Shirts just came in the mail today. Made my day 200% awesomer. Haven’t seen any hippies spontaneously combust yet. I guess I’ll have to see what happens when I actually start wearing them.

I think he meant “free” like the handouts to people who don’t work variety, Obama has vowed to make them #2 if it’s the last thing he does (and hopefully it will be).

Expatriates and Belgian citizens alike suffer from one of the highest taxation rates in the EU. In November 2009, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development confirmed once again that Belgium has one of the highest tax burdens in Europe. It amounts to – including social security – 57.3% for a single earner.

Once again Talkin’ Joe shows us he has no sense of history…
Doesn’t he know that the Belgian National Anthem is: “Halfway to France for the Germans!”
May 25th, 2010 at 7:59 pm
Let’s use Biden-Logic!!! Yay!!! Leaving aside that Brussels is the EU capitol, Biden cites these important criteria for capital of the free world:
A) Being capital of Belgium
B) Having 1,000 years of history
3) Serving as NATO HQ
The US can never challenge on A and B, so our days as center of the free world are numbered. On the other hand, if we had a President with stones, we could dissolve NATO. Mebbe that would shift things back our way.
Fair disclosure: The Belgians are very pro American, and every year they honor Bastogne’s bravest in a way that would put most Americans to shame. They even make and wave US flags.

Can anyone explain to me how it is that some people believe Biden is smarter than a box of rocks?

Grab Andrew Jackson while you’re at it, that man was a blunt instrument of the highest accord. “You’re trying to turn us into England again. What has two fists and hates England?” *Kapowza* “This guy.”
Patton wouldn’t be a bad choice for a little time travel vacation either…

Crap. I was hoping the next capital of the free world would be Tabernash, Colorado.

JarJarBiden strikes again. “Messa likes Belgium chocolate, so messa athinkin’ Belgium is center of JarJarbiden universe.”

For too long we have been told lies.
The existence of the supposed European country of Belgium has been taken as gospel for years by members of the Liberati. It has long been held up as a shining example of Liberal philosophies in action. However, now is the time the truth be known. Belgium doesn’t exist.

Our Joe is merely vying for the place of the NEW MANNEQUIN PIS.
May 26th, 2010 at 12:36 pm
Obama and Biden have turned DC into the capital of stupid, so Clueless Joe should know. I’ve never been so embarrased by our government as I am by Clownbama’s Wild Left posse.

Well, in the Obama/Biden/Pelosi/Reid, world Germany was another victim of the American war machine that stopped them from completing their mission of creating free healthcare for the entire world.
