his new brand of "fiscally conservative/socially tolerant" Republicanism

BWAHAHAHAHA!

This reminds me of the tortured logic espoused by Fred Barnes the other week trying to explain why it's ok for the Prez to be a big government Repubbie. I don't care what labels they chose to use. There is no such thing as a fiscally responsible Nanny State.

Absolutely fascinating that Ahnolt is from Austria, perhaps the best run country in Europe in many ways. For example they have universal health care, but it's insurance, and it's paid for by individuals and the businesses that employ them.

They have taken an extremely pragmatic way out of large scale social spending. However, it is (or was) not a very diverse society, and is well disciplined and educated.

Drop a few hundred thousand of our urban clymers or other low-end Democrats, into it and the country would never be heard from again ... sort of what is happening in Sweden with it's open door immigration from various hellholes.
