Gross caricature. Even Obama recognizes the indispensability of capitalism to gaining and holding liberty.
Yes, it was a gross caricature.
I recognize it as well.. I am not saying capitalism is all bad, but needs to be changed to work, and the best capitalist model I have seen is the ones mixed with socialism, regulations and state planning. Those are the most sustainable in my opinion.
Meanwhile, we see Muslims and North Africans rioting throughout Europe. We see the balkanization of the races throughout Europe. We see not economic equality, but economi inequality and do so despite decades of socialism being on the march across Europe.
This is a fantasy. Perhaps its some sort of propaganda pressed on you by the American far right to get you to fear the Muslims even more, and have you hate them to prepare for the further/future genocide of the Muslims.
Really? Hmmm, then why was the EU forced to cover part of its new HQ artwork displaying Romania as a toilet? Nice way to include eastern Europe, :roll:. And what were the French elites saying about those easten Euro nations when they backed America's play in Iraq and Rummy characterized them as the New Europe? Such inclusive words those were!
Romania is one of the fastest growing countries in the world, after it started implementing EU law and became a part of the EU the country is booming. You dont expect it to be a France over night do you? Thats just not possible, but in time it will become a much better country. It only joined in 2007.. Eastern Europe has seen a lot of change in the 5 years they have been members and the 5 years before where they started implementing EU common laws. I remember when I was a young boy in school, we had a visit from a class of Latvians in my country Norway. They were dead poor, they could afford nothing in Norway and lived a life of complete poverty in Latvia, they had NOTHING, literally, they barely survived, their monthly wages were the same as daily wages in other European countries.. Now Latvia on a global scale is relatively rich, and pretty much have caught up with much of Europe, except the rich countries in the west. They have caught up Portugal and Greece for example, and all of South America, most of Asia. They were poorer than all those before, and the story is the same in all of eastern Europe!!!
By the way, about giving away from your pockets, how's that working out in Spain, a nation that is nearly insolvent?
Spain is a rich nation thanks to being in the EU for decades, its only a temporary setback. Their real estate for example is perhaps best in the world in general, and living standards enormously high. the problem is lack of diversity and its vulnerability but also strengths are highlighted with how the economy is going in the rest of the world. Spain have some of the best capitalized companies in the world, which are currently during even the financial crisis buying up companies across the world, and saving many from bankruptcy.
Really? Then how do you account for the fact that Iraq doesn't reflect American ideals? It's form of democracy doesn't even coincide with the American system of governance.
Doesnt it now? Perhaps it doesnt represent the new administration, but it certainly was a perfect description for the last and past administrations. The US ideal of democracy and freedom being pushed on nations unwillingly. In huge contrast to where new EU members gladly adopt EU ideals, freedoms openness and democracy, they embrace them with happiness, and there is no need for war.
Meanwhile, American taxpayers dole out billions every year in foreign aid and billions more in charitable giving to those around the world..
Yep, and so do Europeans and a lot of other countries and regions.
