They laugh.
And then they try to emulate it. The german chancellor used to travel in a Challenger 601. Got him and immediate staff wherever he needed to go. Additional staff and press flew commercial or charter. Now they have a pair of A340s to cart her around .
You provided evidence to the 'emulate it' part. How's about some evidence to the 'they laugh' part since that is the point your side is trying to make.
I don't think they laugh at all. I think the world is by and large envious of the US...current economics and all. I think the right is so hateful of this president they look for any and every excuse to tear America apart and blame him for it. This includes, obviously, airplane purchases the President has nothing to do with and will never fly.
Our economy isn't that bad. It's just not the roaring 80's that 'conservatives' are mentally stuck in. It's funny how the conservative mind works. They pick a time when they thought they were happy and insist everyone track towards that period.
Never mind we were in the middle of a cold war, the zero day clock was under a minute at all times, and we all had to deal with stupid hairdo's on our women folk.
Right now Apple just made the most money in a single quarter of any company in human history. Stocks are up, and people eat well. Sorry MTV doesn't play music anymore but dem's da breaks.
Honestly, I don't know why anyone would want to label themselves a 'conservative' anyway. Do they know what the words means? The Indians were the ultimate conservatives. Generation after generation they did exactly what their fathers and their fathers father did. They were so conservative they stagnated their own development. For thousands of years they just kept on keeping on. Heck, they never even developed a wheel!
Well, their conservative nature worked great...until they had to deal with other world cultures that WERE NOT conservative. The new cultures had spent their time developing NEW technologies...gunpowder, wheels, oil lamps, and even stupid beads were enough to mow over the conservative culture.
I, for one, am sick and tired of people who blindly align with a 'conservatve' banner because faux told them it's the right thing and faux happens to support their myopic world view by reinforcing the message over and over to the brain dead masses.
Wake up!
Conservative is not a label that's to be worn proudly. There's a reason all the Republican nominees look outright crazy...they are. Ted Cruz, Sara Palin, That 999! guy...Hermin Cain, Mittens Romney, omg...it goes on forever.
Chew on that awhile.
