    If We Europeanize, Europe Is In Trouble

    Excellent article by Jonah Goldberg in The National Review Online (and before anyone gets their knickers in twist, yes it is a 'conservative' publication)

    I wonder why the things that should be so simple, so natural... like loving someone and letting them see into your heart... should require so much courage?

    I don't think a public option will really affect the US economy that much--things didn't go completely to hell when Roosevelt was in office.

    Interesting, very interesting!!!
    I think the EUSSR will change the way it spends when europeanisation of US reaches a point where they can take advantage of it, it is a tactic to weaken the USA in order that the EUSSR(Hitlers Plan B) can capitalise on their gains.

    Maybe not, but according to his own Secretary of the Treasury, they didn't improve either. He testified before Congress that after several years of the New Deal, that nothing had really changed. I do notice you worded that in an unusual manner, "things didn't go completely to hell" in other words they didn't improve.

    That was sarcasm. Historians generally rank Roosevelt as the best president the US has ever had.

    If one considers the President who first came up with the idea of ramming creeping socialism and big government down our throats, bullied and tried, unsuccessfully, to pack the Supreme Court to be the "best president" we ever had, then possibly they are correct.

    Ps: If you want to write sarcasm, then you should make it read like sarcasm. Not knowing your true position, at the time, on FDR, it read like weak support.

    I don't think he was "ramming big government down anybody's throat" (That's what she said.) Roosevelt was elected with pretty big majorities. At the time, the nation called for it.

    Indeed he was, at a time of terrible economic strife when the job market had completely dried up due to overconsumption.Wont happen today with badly made cheap crappy products being made and thrown away.But thats a different Issue.FDR helped kick that socialist bastard Adolf Hitlers arse, gotta love FDR!!!
