More highlights:
Yugoslavia split into Bosnia, Croatia, and Serbia just along the old Austrian Hungarian empire, just as if the past 80 years haven't happened.
Canada committed to 6% reduction in CO2 emissions. Have achieved an increase in 24.2%. US is doing better than Canada on every environmental indicator. Kyoto is not effective.
The jihad can project themselves to Europe for a couple of hundred bucks. The NATO allies cannot project themselves to the Middle East at all. True asymmetric warfare.
John Kerry speaks pretty bad French and it has no effect diplomatically.
Tony Blair is no Churchill, but there are many Lord Halifaxes. Rotterdam is 40% Muslim. Most popular boy's name is Mohammed. Most Europeans were not aware of these trends until 9/11.
We should speak up for Dutch film maker Theo Van Gohts. He lost his life. Dixie Chicks lost some performances, but posed nude on Entertainment Weekly. Nothing like what Theo lost.
Many Europeans acquiesce to the Muslim terrorism and advance their cause. They want a quiet life--just like they did in the 30's.
Two Jews were killed by Muslims in Paris. No one covered the stories, except two tabloids. Another step down a dark and familiar path.
Lord Halifax was Lord Privy Seal in 1938. Sent to Germany and mistook Hitler for a footman. The elites didn't take Hitler seriously because he wasn't of their class.
This is like Europe--they can't believe the Muslims are taking over.
Wolves are returning to empty villages due to depopulation in eastern Germany. No precedent for this population loss without a war or pandemic.
America wasn't scarred by WW I like Europe was. We came in late and our national character is different.
What America has different from Europe is their religiosity. Atheists have it better here than in Muslim societies. New Hampshire is a gun owning state. This protects the non-gun owners as well as the gun owners. If your a burglar, are you going to take a chance on some stump tooth plaid crazy blowing you away?
Mark called a police station when he heard rustling in his bushes. He asked what the procedure is. "Well, it's better if you deal with it, since you're there."
Gun ownership shows confidence in the people.
America has a lack of socialized medicine--that's good. In Montreal, the average wait for an emergency visit is 48 hours. Don't adopt Canadian health care. Canadians drive to America for health care.
In Europe, your only choice is through the government.
In America, we have a more responsive political class. Our politics is much healthier than Europe. We have the choice of Jesse Helms or Ted Kennedy. In Europe, you have center left or center right.
In Europe, you have no control over which politician will be placed over you. You would vote Republican and you might get Schwarzenegger, or Jim Jeffords.
Europe is in for famine, death, war, and conquest, the four horsemen of the apocolypse. Mark's friend thought this was a joke--it wasn't.
Alan Keyes would say, we stand on the brink of the abyss. But the good news is, the Europeans are ahead of us in line.
That ended his speech. In question and answer, he dealt with buying drugs from Canada. These come from the US. It is ridiculous for the republicans to promote socialized medicine.
Old people are some of the wealthiest people in history.
How does Europe of today differ from the US? Our secret is the decentralization of the US. Europe's problem is that it is too centralized. It is more like the failed Soviet Union. There are regulations on the curvature of cucumbers--and bananas. They have not duplicated the US, but the USSR.
That ended it. He was funny, but serious about the subject.
