Great line.

As always, a very intelligent piece.
Good leaders, very often do not make popular decisions.

And yet, the word 'Redlake' remained little more than a mere blip on the media radar screen.

This will definitely make you think...!
Mexifornia: A State of Becoming. The book is an honest discussion about the social and economic realities presented by an increasing alien population that is not assimilating.

Its biggest concerns are three: figuring out how its nations are to keep paying billions of euros to retirees, unemployed, and assorted other entitlement recipients; Well, we've got one thing in common.
To: Tolik
"When Europe orders all American troops out; when Japan claims our textbooks whitewash the Japanese forced internment or Hiroshima; when China cites unfair trade with the United States; when South Korea says get the hell off our DMZ; when India complains that we are dumping outsourced jobs on them; when Egypt, Jordan, and the Palestinians refuse cash aid; when Canada complains that we are not carrying our weight in collective North American defense; when the United Nations moves to Damascus; when the Arab Street seethes that we are pushing theocrats and autocrats down its throat; when Mexico builds a fence to keep us out; when Latin America proclaims a boycott of the culturally imperialistic Major Leagues..."Oddly enough, I'm not convinced of that which Hanson appears to be convinced of. This is, after all, a world gone mad.....where blatant hypocrisy and lies seem to stand as though they were truth. And Leftists all over this country join in such efforts, reminding us that WE are culpable and deserving of such retaliations.
Yes, I could see Mexico "building a wall" called an army - to combat our "racist border patrollers." Yes, I could see China accusing the U.S. of unfair trade...and blaming it on our monetary policy. Yes, I could see the Palis rejecting U.S. aid, while demanding a prominent role in the U.N. where U.S. money is freely spent and players abscond.
Can't Victor see that we already live in a parallel universe where right is wrong and wrong is right? Did he not this week see the Senate Minority Leader indignantly proclaim that Republicans are destroying time-tested Senate "tradition" vis-a-vis judicial nominations? And most of the world is upside down enough to believe such garbage. Time to wake up and smell the propaganda wars.

EU bureaucrats and French politicians routinely caricature Americans, whipping up public opinion against the United States, even as they fly here to profess eagerness to maintain the old NATO transatlantic ties. Is it to our discredit that what Europe has now devolved into does not like the United States? -Victor Davis HansonNo, but it is deeply damaging.
To: Tolik
Beautiful. Thanks for the ping.
