What is there to say? Europe has been commiting slow death suicide for so long, everything has been said to death.
As an aside, has anyone noticed how utterly left the WSJ reporting has become?
Yes.
Conservatives are supposed to hate politics and government. If you love politics and government, while claiming conservative pedigree, you are regarded with suspicion and distrust.
So, what is the right answer? Organize for an assault for Euroweenies? Let’s get some feedback here...
And in the USA.
i like and subscribe to the wsj.
but i wouldn’t describe it as “conservative.”
it’s a mixed bag:
1. the articles tend to the left of center, according to media research.
2. the editorial page has both liberal and conservative opinion as well as free-market capitalism.
? are you saying that free market capitalism is a part of conservativism? i would think so.
but looking at many of the posts on this forum, many freepers speak of “capitalism” and mean anti-globalism, anti-nafta etc., like pat buchanan and the george soros left.
these freepers are more populist, than conservative.
i am free market and libertarian.
the united states benefits more from globalism than it doesn’t.
the united states benefits more from globalism than it doesn’t.
The U.S. on average? Yes.
Those with mid- or low-level skill sets? Absolutely not.
And the majority of voting American sheep.
Why do I bother defending them...
Free markets implies no Gov’t. Aka, libertarian views.
However, we are witnessing ‘Conservative’ free-markets, aka Fed intervention. Free Markets come with risks, Conservatives believe we need a Fed to nanny the Markets and keep everything safe. For the good of the people and all. Because they can't take care of themselves.
right.
so, we agree.
those that get pinched, bitch.
the question is, why do they have mid- or low- skill sets?
and, is that our fault?
education is available. here in kaleefornya classes at the 109 community colleges are $20.00/ hour.
when a herd of thoroughbred horse are attacked by wolves, the circle up, heads in and kick outward at their attackers.
We conservatives, though, are like a herd of mules who when they are attacked by wolves, circle up, heads out, and kick kick each other.
or have you noticed??
Feedback? What can you say? If the people of this country don’t take the time to take this country back, it will go the way of Europe. People of today don’t believe this could ever happen. They won’t stand up and fight for themselves. Look at the Wars in Japan and Germany. Our country beat the two best militarys in the world. In todays world, in the Middle East, we can’t even defeat a bunch of sand rats because we, as a country, don’t have the will or the guts. We worry about loosing 4000 of our people in 5 years. We lost 50,000 in one day in Gettysburgh, about 17,000 in one week in Iwo Jima and the list goes on. Our schools turn our boys into little girls and the parents are too busy to notice or do anything about it. What will happen? We will follow the way of Europe and become the North American Union.
there has to be some regulation, the question is how much.
rush limbaugh argued for no intervention in the sub-prime mess a couple months ago.
on the other hand, if bear stearns went down, causing a domino effect and economic chaos....somebody had better do something.
i’m not an economics professional and not qualified to comment.
The author mistakenly labels McRat a Conservative. I’d be proud to stand in any foxhole with a Conservative. Conservatives are hunkering down for the long war. Screw McLame, Euro-trash, and the Rats. While they are busy destroying themselves ... make your time.
I don’t know what to think of the two Communists and the one pseudo-communist we have to choose between. We should br retargeting some nukes to Europe as most countries are siding with evil. Again. How history seems to repeat and we were not the BG’s except in the eyes of the democrats.
I know, he also said Bear Stearns should not fail. We all pick our conservative ideas at different times.
We have mid and low-level skill sets because when those folks entered the workforce, those skill sets were in demand. But times change and those folks can’t compete salary-wise with China and India.
I seriously question the ability to re-train for high level skill sets. There are precious few investment banker slots. There are even less positions for product design.
I have a tendency to agree. I was in product design. It’s different today. They design product to be thrown away. They design software to be obsolete. They import our food from those that would kill us. Today, it’s all about the almighty dollar without regard to what it will do to this country in the future. We would rather import product, and put our own companies out of business. How many times have you gone to Walmart and only bought American made products? How many items do you have in your home that are imported from China?
What new jobs (besides government jobs) are being created to take the place of the jobs that are lost to overseas workers soley due to salary?
And why do guys like Bill Gates harp on 'Americans aren't skilled enough' to justify bringing in more foreign IT workers but he is pumping lots of cash into the educational system in India?
