Yea I still hold that the socialist eurotrash have been free to play their little hippy game because the US military has protected them from the bad guys for 50 years. Take away our massive military umbrella and force them to spend money on their own defense and Sweden et al would have dumped these pricey experiments long ago.I was golfing with a general of a marine base out here and he told me that Sweden had to pull out of a Nato exercise because Israel was involved and the Swedes are worried about it offending their growing muslim population. Some socialist utopia they've created...if you hate jews then the government will try to respect your hatred and base policy on it.No...don't try to impress me with the current state of the euro socialist cadre'. they will come atumbling down soon all from their overspending ways.

There is a huge backlash by the right in Switzerland against how Muslims are changing their country. They voted today to ban the construction of new minarets. Things may be looking up there.

I hope you understand the main point of my post was that it is maddening to have one group (the GOP) who prefers things about 75/25 capitalism to socialism is so outraged about Obama's attempts to make it 60/40. And that Rush is an ass.

I would be happy at 90/10...just sayin.

Now, if you want to talk about problems of scaling up local solutions, then I think we're getting somewhere -- including explanations of why Sweden or Minnesota socialism works, while California or Cuban socialism doesn't.

It must be climate based, another reason why global warming is bad.

Whereas it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor; and Whereas both Houses of Congress have, by their joint committee, requested me to "recommend to the people of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer, to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness:"Now, therefore, I do recommend and assign Thursday, the 26th day of November next, to be devoted by the people of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being who is the beneficent author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be; that we may then all unite in rendering unto Him our sincere and humble thanks for His kind care and protection of the people of this country previous to their becoming a nation; for the signal and manifold mercies and the favorable interpositions of His providence in the course and conclusion of the late war; for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty which we have since enjoyed; for the peaceable and rational manner in which we have been enable to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national one now lately instituted for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed, and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and, in general, for all the great and various favors which He has been pleased to confer upon us.And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech Him to pardon our national and other transgressions; to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually; to render our National Government a blessing to all the people by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed; to protect and guide all sovereigns and nations (especially such as have shown kindness to us), and to bless them with good governments, peace, and concord; to promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the increase of science among them and us; and, generally to grant unto all mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as He alone knows to be best.Given under my hand, at the city of New York, the 3d day of October, A.D. 1789. George Washington.

Scripture is cool with slavery though so technically scripture came through again.)

Keep repeating it over and over and someday it might be true.EDIT: oops.

My family is VERY traditional with our thanks giving, we get our whole family together, we make the turkey, the stuffing, the mashed potatoes, everything.And then we hop in our car, and we drive, we go straight to the nearest reservation, we sit there and wait for a native american.

and we burn their house down
