A hypocritical NBCNews.com article argues that America is a “flawed democracy” that can be fixed by copying the “World’s Best Democracy” — Norway.
In “Norway Is the ‘World’s Best Democracy’ — We Asked Its People Why,” NBC pretends to provide an objective look at why the Economist Intelligence Unit — based in London, where the country’s parliament actually considered banning America’s president — downgraded the U.S. to a “flawed democracy” and rated Norway the best.
The article doesn’t mention one reason the U.S. is a flawed democracy: it isn’t one; it’s actually a Republic. […]
Feigning fairness, the article points out that Norway’s democracy does have one flaw — it’s TOO CONSERVATIVE: “It’s (sic) current government is led by the Conservative Party and includes lawmakers from the right-wing populist Progress Party, which wants to slash taxes and immigration.” …

I remember these loons saying the same about Iceland.
I remember these loons saying the same about Iceland.
The U.S has gotten by just fine for over 200 years, survived an internal war, fought in numerous world wars and foreign country conflicts plus several “police actions” and continues to be THE country that the worlds people, seeking asylum and refuge migrate to.
Tell me again what is so bad about this country.
A country of all highly educated white people, with huge revenues from offshore oil? Yeah, that’ll work...
With the addition of over 1 million Muslims, it is not that Norway today, sadly.

And Sweden,

And Belgium.
We were told these areas represented the epitome of civility,

Now many areas formerly known as Netherlands
are a part of the new NEVER-Lands, with their numerous No Go Zones where police and firemen dare not tred with high security.
Norway has a population of what, 13 people?
They had a basketball game once in Norway. Ten people on the court. The stands were empty because there was no one left to watch the game.
And everybody lives on the same acre of land.
Norways geography is: ocean; one acre of land; mountains.
Let’s look at their climate: cold; freezing: snotsicles.
The Norwegians have to get along or they’ll freeze and fall into the fjord.
Well NBC should pack up and move there

“...flawed democracy...”

—— One of the hottest travel days I ever had was in Bergen,Norway———early July..
Norway is something like 4 million white people who live across the street from each other. Not really a great analogy. Take away their offshore oil and you’ve got Estonia with a whiff of herring.
ROTFL! We might be a “flawed democracy” but we’ve got one hell of a republic going here again now that Donald Trump has been elected. Hey NBC. Bite me.
