LOL. I don't think Linda has ever been to a federal office building!
Probably not. She is a rabid anti-American, NDP card-carrying socialist.
Who has that pic of Belly-button girl? Her sign says it best.
She sure is. Her tired, old liberal arguments are a complete joke. If life in Europe is so "delicious", then why doesn't she go and live there?
She lives in the Eurocolony called Canuckistan, a socialist semi-republic just north of the border.
1) Each generation is only 3/4 the size of the previous one, and their welfare state is designed for a growing population
2) There are a billion people in Asia willing to work much harder than Europeans are willing to work, so they are losing their ability to compete economically
Yes, and she isn't too happy about America being next door and having a strong influence...
Yet another liberal screed, long on rhetoric, short on facts.
Is it just me, or do Conservative columnists tend more toward citing specific examples to back up their arguments?
The nice thing about the USA is that one can work hard, or not, your choice.
France on the other hand had laws forbidding anyone from working over 35 hours a week. No freedom to work as you see fit for your circumstances.
I'll take freedom every time.
That's just like you conservatives, always dragging the facts into arguments.
Millions of Europeans wisely seem determined to reject it again. Last week, voters in France and the Netherlands voted against a proposed European constitution aimed at establishing the dominance of the marketplace.Huh?? The EU constitution is aimed at establishing the dominance of the Brussels-based bureaucracy. Around here, most seemed to think the French and Dutch acted wisely.North American commentators were quick to denounce the vote, perhaps out of fear that people here might realize that unbridled capitalism doesn't have to be the way of the future, that we too could have generous social programs.

Yes, sign me up for the 10 to 13% unemployment they have over in Europe. (/sarcasm off)
I lived in Europe and it sucks. Great veal, lousy beef.
Just have to wonder: what would European economic picture look like had it not been for the United States, a) helping them rebuild after WWII, and b) providing for their defense during the Cold War (which freed up more money for them to play with)?
Of course, this commie would probably say that had it not been for the U.S., Europe would have become a socialist utopia with the guidance of the USSR, the 'great' experiment which only failed due to our interference.
Commies: sheesh!
Over half of the US federal government's budget is socialism. With Republicans enlarging the welfare state to subsidize prescription drugs for favored voting blocs we're not even holding our ground against the problem.
Right-wingers are hoping you won't grasp this -- because apparently right-wingers are EVIL and like to see people slaving away hopelessly.
i fail to see how somebody who writes trash while sitting on the john in the morning and has the rest of the day off can whine about working toooo hard...
Interesting enough more French is getting jobs and moving to the United States than Americans are moving to France. Same with Canada, more is moving to the United States than Americans are moving to Canada.
If socialism so great then why is people leaving it?
