America Doesn't Want You Either, Gwyneth

Gwyneth Paltrow would feel much more at home in Europe where sophisticated and nuanced discussion of America boils down to clever cowboy metaphors and deep analysis about arrogant empires falling, you know, eventually.

We concur. Move to Europe Gwyneth Paltrow. You'll fit in better.

Globe and Mail:

Yes, well, I went to Spain in an exchange program at 15, and I've always been drawn to Europe. America is such a young country, with an adolescent swagger about it. But I feel that I have a more European sensibility, a greater respect for the multicultural nature of the globe. And it's a strange time to be an American now....

I feel like we're really in trouble. I just had a baby and thought, 'I don't want to live there [America].' Bush's anti-environment, pro-war policies are a dis. . . ." Well, you can guess the rest.

And don't come back. At least, not until you get a boob job. I mean, she even looks like she could be a European star--but not an American.....

1 Have fun at the retirement community, Gwyneth. Don't worry about us, we're too busy, like, protecting the free world to watch your crappy remakes anyway. Toodles!

2 I'm not really one of those that says, "America, love it or leave it" because I believe in fixing things. But dis bitch needs to F'ing leave.

3 I can't diss this chick. We told her to love it or leave it, and she left. Kudos. I encourage more of her moonbat buddies to do the same.

4 Who the f- is this broad? Buh Bye you 2 bit whore. If I ever see you around my tent I will slap a burka on your ass faster than you can say Bakakadaka!

5 Super hot, but dumb as a bag of rocks. If she's on tv, I'm inclined to just turn the sound down.

Her husband is just as inclined to be a moron. Go figure.

I really feel bad for their kid though, the amount of stupid he is likely to inherit boggles.

6 These stupid Hollywierd liberals threathen to leave the US anytime things don't go the way they think they should. Frankly, I'm tired of their bullshit.

If one of them would promise, put it on paper, and sign a contract never to come back to the US, I would pay their way to wherever they want to go.

But unless they want to wear the burqa I would strongly advise them to stay in the US and shut up. Europe is dying faster than I thought it would. Within 25 years the Muslims will complete their takeover. I kinda feel sorry for them, but they(the Europeans) don't seem to mind one way or the other. The rape of Europe won't be pretty to watch, that's for sure.

7 What do you expect from someone who named her kid Apple?

8 Get some titties first you beanpole and then we'll talk.

9 Hopefully in this case the apple will fall far from the tree. Doubt it though. :/

10 From IMDB: "Revealed that she named her daughter Apple, because apples are whole, sweet and crisp."

I guess that's a "European sensibility" at work.

Gwenith Paltro is New Estée Lauder Spokesmodel
"I am very proud to be a part of such a fine company," said Paltrow. "Its roots have been deep in the culture of classic American beauty for decades, and I am honored to be associated with a brand as iconic as Estée Lauder."

Looks like my wife is getting Target’s O’ de Lilac for Christmas again this year.
Estee Lauder can kiss my ....

12 Apple will look real whole, sweet and crisp under a burqa. She will probably be married off to a 52-year old man on her 9th birthday. Like I said, Gwyneth better shut her mouth and get back to the US, or her "European sensibilities" might be in Mahmoud's harem.

Not Filthy Allah's harem, because even though he wants one, he can't have it.

13 "But I feel that I have a more European sensibility, a greater respect for the multicultural nature of the globe." She got all that from an exchange program at 15?

Gag me with a steamshovel.

16 This "protecting the free world" stuff, well, if you expect blind gratitude and grovelling, how sincere is this support? Give'm a break, Europe lost lots of kids in the wars too, not only Germans, and the US had more at stake than just European lives. Sprechen sie Deutsch? Don't get all Ubermensch on Europeans. That is irritating. Just because Gwynthing is trying to sound even more intellectual than Britney whatchyamacallit.

Respect!

17 Bruce,

I don't know if you're European or not, but you are speaking from a European perspective. Most of us know or have family(my mother's brother was killed in the Normandy invasion) who were killed in the European wars. I, for one, had hoped that Europe learned something from these past conflicts. But, alas, not.

I've read many times about the policy of appeasement vis-a-vie the Nazis that was practiced by both the French and British prior to Hitler's invasion of Poland. Many, if not most, Americans see the very same appeasement policies now being practiced in Europe with respect to the radical Muslims. For example, the Spanish, after being brutally attacked by the radical Islamists, folded like a deck of cards. The United States, on the other hand, took action against the aggressor when attacked on 9/11. Many here took exception with the almost non-existant support we received from our NATO allies after we had just recently cleaned up the mess in the Balkins.

Here in the US many wonder, and I am very serious, whether Europeans will even fight to prevent the takeover by the Islamists. It seems that Europeans just hope a policy of appeasement will satisfy the Muslims who are now boldly demanding a return of the Caliphate.

If you care to bone up on your World History you will note that the Caliphate was the colonizer of Europe prior to its history of colonialization of the Americas, and probably led to the New World being discovered because the Europeans were being denied access to goods from the far east by the said Caliphate. You know, that necessity being the mother of invention thing.

Bruce, I think you identified the problem when you said that Gwyneth was just trying to be more intellectual than Britney. You see, it is this air of superiority permeating through Europe that is the real problem. Europeans want the US to fail and want us to be defeated by the Islamists in Iraq. What we can't figure out is why. If we lose in Iraq, it won't be the US who is likely to suffer, but the Europeans. The jihadis are well established in Europe and would be emboldened by a US pullout. They only have the numbers to strike in Europe, and your laws and customs give them a great advantage.

We in America are allowed to own firearms while you are disarmed in Europe and would have to depend on very small, untested armies to go up against battle-hardened jihadists. Frankly, I think the Islamists would have little trouble with the small armies of Europe.

My point is this. Will Europe ask the US for help, and would the US help Europe? I'm afraid many here in the US would say no if Europe even asked. One wonders whether Europe would even ask.

18 Who cares! She's an actress for God's sake (though a very good one). None of them actually ever truly leave. They're extended fantasy vacations people! The few who actually spend the most time overseas don't change their citizenship, incorporate themselves in some low-tax sheltered state like Delaware to avoid high European taxes, and live there like pretentious royalty with tons of(non-taxed) cash to spend. Outside of a few Euro capitals, major cities, and cafe circles most Europeans can't stand them either. What they say is more often empty obligitory posturing that they think will endear them to a European audience (yes, everyone's an audience to them). Remember the Dixie Chicks - who saved their attempt to be hip, "progressive" and controversal for a European (and safe) audience. Real gutsy - right.

19 Hondo,

You cut through all the shit and said what I wish I had. You are spot on right.

20 She got way weirded out on the Daily Show the other night when Stewart asked her personal questions about whether her hubby/crappy lead singer of a crappy band sings to her to woo her. If she's going to move to Europe she better adopt some raunchier sensibilities. The Euro's are all about the detailed sexpose's-you ever watch BBCA? Every show involves a sex therapist, an unattractive couple with large noses, or a kinky fairy dressed with a whip. I say suck it up Gwynnie.

21 I can tell you one thing -- if she went to Spain at 15 she sure didn't learn about the "multicultural nature of the globe" there! Given her current age, it means I was living in Spain a few years before she was. One thing I wouldn't have called it is multicultural. In fact, given the amount of blatant racism still demonstrated there, it still isn't.

22 Alec Baldwin threatens to move to Canada, and it makes front-page news; Gwyneth threatens not to return to the U.S. and virtually nobody notices.

Given that Baldwin had not even seen the A-list in years when he made his statement, what are we to surmise about the current state of Paltrow's career?

24 Jesusland:
America is the big brother, watching out for the others. The little brothers think America is sometimes overprotective. Little brother gets into trouble, big brother bails him out. Sometimes big brother starts kicking ass without thinking things through. But if it weren't for big brother, little brother would be dead. Little brother doesn't forget this. But little brother thinks he's always right, and that pisses big brother off. Maybe you are right. The brothers seem to be drifting apart.

25 One more thing Jesusland, I don't at all believe that Europe wants America (the coalition) to get kicked out by the islamists, and I believe most Europeans also sympathized with the British when they trashed the Iraqi jail the other day to rescue those SAS guys. It's just not as simple as all that.
