Unfortunately, the major right-wing parties in Europe are still to the left of FDR and LBJ, so this story isn't exactly true.

Fascism (called right-wing) was nothing but managed socialism based on hyper-nationalism.

Europe (with the exception of the UK and the low countries) went straight from statist monarchies/dictators to statist socialist-democracies. They simply don't have any historical frame of reference for libertarian government.

It would probably be considered racist (it’s not), but I have thought perhaps the US should advertise for European Immigrants in this fashion:

Are you educated? Do you have a valuable skill in business, finance, medicine, or skilled labor?

Do you feel that your country has spent way too long insisting on socialist policies and overspending?

Are you willing to take a risk, knowing that, if you fail, nobody will bail you out?

Do you see that America is in danger of that same fate, but is still far better than Europe?

Do you know English, or, are you willing to learn it?

Do you feel (even if afraid to admit it) that the United States of America is the nation most responsible for the things you do every day of your life?

Do you like American culture?

If you agree, then come on over to the US, become a citizen, and VOTE to help us turn the US into a fiscally responsible, conservative or libertarian nation that is once again the envy of the world.

In fact, I’d extend that invitation to every country in the world.
