“Most of the regionalist parties in Europe, such as those in the Basque country, Scotland and elsewhere, are leftist. Except along the “spine of Europe.” These parties are the most successful of the parties of the European right. They have a localist quality, and yet they are fighting to protect the Christian, Western heritage of [...]

The anarchy started in the 60’s. Since then the segment of the U.S. which believes we are evil people has grown. With the former hippie types flocking to education rather than work for a living, the universities became havens for the self loathing crowd. I have a high regard for those [...]

From the Brussels Journal– the following blog may speak too much truth–
“Therefore, the amount of tax collected from individuals could depend on the usefulness to them of whatever taxes buy. In this case, those with low incomes should pay more taxes than those with above average incomes. After all, the former derive more benefits from [...]

If you have read my blogs over time you know that one thing which stays with me is the statement of a previous manager– “bring me solutions, not problems.”
Here we are in the fourth month of 2008, one could not ask for a nicer Spring here. The weather had been cool and [...]

When Franklin D. Roosevelt took office the country was in a sad state. He came to rescue with the WPA(Works Progress Administration). Ultimately, he brought social security as a rescue plan for old age. Prior to that, children took care of parents. And we survived as families.
In case you haven’t looked the world is [...]

I wrote this post a few days ago and have been reluctant to post it. Just too darn gloomy.
While you may consider me to be a doom merchant, I feel it necessary to put facts out which not many people want to face. The least likely to print or broadcast a story on [...]

As you know I do not call the U.S., America, because Canadians and Mexicans are also Americans. But the phrase was just too good to pass up.
What did you see last night? Was it the triumph of a great political leader? The faultering of a court jester? A reversal in political [...]

If someone was raised in a situation where basic values were in conflict, how well adjusted would the average person be?
Hypothetically speaking, if a person was raised by a communist and sent to school where a hyper strict religious structure was taught how cold they resolve that? While some may say that [...]

Am I way off base or is there something wrong here?
Do you remember Waco? Someone decided that the Branch Davidian compound needed to be breached and many died. Allegations of illegal firearms were used as the reason for confronting the compound. As a result the Federal Government became involved. The [...]

The current buzzwords are all linked words to form one thought. So, GlobalThink is already an existing term for one world thinking.
Our world has become enveloped by the rush to become global. In thinking about the change in society in the U.S., I always start at my beginning, the corporate world. Born [...]

Translated from the German– ‘Religion is the opium of the people.’A must read if one is slightly interested in the future of the U.S, comes from William Kristol in a NY Times article.
Kristol connects the dots between Marx and Obama. Any surprise that Obama would be referencing Marx. His mother was an avowed [...]

I posted a link to Diana West’s blog. The Death of the Grown Up. I saw her on CNN’s Lou Dobbs last week.I also posted a link to The Brussels Journal.

Chertoff is unleashing a new domestic anti terror satellite network. On the surface one can say it sounds like a good idea to look down on our country for purpose of watching the “bad” guys. But, (there’s always a but isn’t there) what if a group of individuals with socialist, one world government [...]

It is no longer about democrats and republicans. The conversation is about liberal vs conservative. Inside that lies multiple variations of each. The language used to describe either side is nasty. We no longer seem to be able to discern a moderate from an extremist one is either a conversative or [...]
