Americans really do believe they are bringing freedom to the world. It is embarrassing to watch such Kitsch.
 
Why would it be a problem?

Cheerleaders at games do the same thing. Nothing inappropriate was done or said.

It's a political rally, freedom of expression and all that. :shrug:

Yeah, we could've just left it to you guys in Spain to take care of those pesky Nazi's.
 
It's 'ok' in that sure, he can do it if he wants.

In my opinion its a damning indictment of what the US political process has become.

Well, add Communism and Terrorism to the list of things Spain could easily take care of if it weren't for our hapless meddling.

Btw, glad you forgot WW2 already, a war that will be talked about in history classes 1,000 years from now.

Spain was neutral in the Second World War.

It's kinda cute, in the way those child beauty pageants are cute... for a nanosecond.

It reminded me a bit of this recent story.

It (the Trump rally) makes me cringe, wondering how far down that road Trump is willing to drag the electoral process. Dignity, taste, respect? Who needs 'em! Trash TV enters the political arena and, sadly, is cheered and applauded.
 
I think it's great!

Americans love kids and the good 'ol red, white and blue. This appeal to American nationalism will work well for Trump.

It has always made me wonder why they have to force their brand of freedom on people with war. Did anyone ask the Vietnamese if they wanted 50 years of war to end up being you?

This is pretty much "Trump farted so lets make a big deal out of it." It has nothing to do with his political standing, any issues, how he would run the country, pretty much anything. I bet those girls had a blast doing that.
 
These little girls really do not want to be raped by a Mexican and they despise Muslims too, I bet.

Ah, what did the US do in Spain?.

And by the way, that was more than 50 years ago. The US is not the same country today and hasn't "liberated" anything. That smug, 50 year old attitude is an insult. Britain, Soviet Russia, India, Canada, Australia, Mexico, with fighters from Poland, Ukraine, Sweden, Norway, and more were in that fight, most of us for two to three years longer.
You need to stop watching Hollywood versions where ONLY the Americans were involved. The truth is the Russians were at it longer, lost more men and material and captured more land and prisoners than the Allies all together.

Secondly, where the **** do you get the idea America is doing the world favors, Crimea was lost to Russia because the CIA was missing around in Kiev. You invaded Afghanistan to "make the world safe" and it has become decidedly LESS safe; there are more terrorist incidents since then, thank you. When you went into Afghanistan there was one war. Then you had to go into Iraq to keep the wold safe, so now we have ISIS all over the world and in control of lands in excess of the size of the British Ilse.
You can stop saving the world any time now

It seems to be forgotten that on D-Day the Russians were pushing the Germans back across Poland.

If I am not mistaken they were closing on the German border.

There some very good books about the eastern front, how the Polish and Ukraine underground would screw them over

Well done. You've summed up exactly what's wrong with it.

Sure, you guys had WW2 easily handled before we entered with our money, supplies, and troops. We were just glory hounds showing up for the photo op. :thumbs:

The Communists would've stopped sooner as well if it weren't for the U.S.. We just kept getting in the way, like a puppy nipping at an elephant.

And ISIS, I mean, what can you say, the Middle East was in great shape before we got involved. If Saddam wasn't keeping everyone in the Middle East in check, Canada was and the U.S. was just getting in everyone's way. I'll bet we deserved 9/11 huh?

I wouldn't have. It's crass and cringe-worthy. Imagine if Harper or Trudeau had pulled a stunt like that.

Who?

Are they Canadian politicians?

Why would anyone from a nation outside Canada "cringe" because of the antics of your politicians? :confused:

how glad are you that you had to go back 70 years to find an example of the US "fighting for freedom"?
