The America-haters of Britain have clubbed together to tell the US it needs to 'Listen more'. What they mean is, listen to us, and do everything we say. Now why would America want to do that exactly? America is liberal, sure, and it supports free speech, and it has absorbed a huge amount of unfair and mendacious criticism from the rest of the world, who very often have huge beams to America's tiny motes. But why would it listen to these liars, nay-sayers and haters? What gain would that be to America?
One thing it would not do would stop the criticism. In fact, if the liars and critics thought they were succeeding, the volume would go up to 11 (for those Spinal Tap aficianados among you). People hate America because it is strong, it is rich, it doesn't pay lip service to the moronic socialist/PC pieties, and it doesn't rush off on every enviro-bullshit bandwagon. The strong and the rich always attract the hatred of the weak and the lazy. They take strength and prosperity as a personal affront. Only when America is weak and poor can expect to be accepted into the great circle of corrupt, poverty-stricken, barbaric governments.
And you know- I don't think that looks like a very good deal, even from English shores.
