Trouble in Paradise
That utopian template of the annointed elites is crumbling. The vaunted France and Germany (ergo, all of Europe) whom the US altruistically saved in two, going on three, world wars is reaching a crisis point. Nevermind that the leftists in America continually point to the 'nuanced' Europeans as our role models. Europe in general and France and Germany specifically, are held in high esteem by progressive socialists who pray (to whomever secularists pray) that the US could be more 'at one' with Europe. How wonderful it would be if only we could be more like them.
Just as those who want national socialized health care in this country are blind to the problems of British or Canadian health care, so are they blind to the crippling problems that socialism has wrought on Europe; outrageous taxation, ridiculously high unemployment, substandard housing, a middle class that more resembles our 'poor,' small cars (the libs love those!), unreal gas prices and probably the scariest, (but least likely to be addressed problem), an ever growing Moslem population that at some point is going to overtake Europe as we know it. Just what kind of rationale does it take to deduce that Europe should be our national role model??
One of the most illuminating pieces I've come across on the subject of Europe's decline is an expatriate's lament written by Nidra Pollar, an American who moved to Paris 30 years ago and has come to see the light. It's a must read! Please check it out.
I'm at a loss as to why so many look to failing nations as their role models. What is that about, anyway?
