The latest version of European governance a.k.a social democracy will fall when the Muslims inevitably become the outright majority population in Europe.

The U.S. needs to ignore European ways and get back to its roots. That is the only path to our nation's survival in the world going forward.
You do realize that the largest Middle Eastern population outside of the Middle East and the largest Muslim population outside of the West is right here in the United States, right? That would be Metro Detroit. The Middle Eastern presence is so strong there that, for example, the Islamic Center in Hamtramck, a section of Detroit originally settled by Polish immigrants, broadcasts the Muslim call to prayer by loudspeaker several times per day.

I became a US citizen in 2006 (I grew up in Canada). The vast majority of people taking the Oath that particular day were Middle Eastern.

One could day this is purely anecdotaI. I say that if you are under the impression that US immigration patterns are much different from those of European countries, you are mistaken.

Oopsie.

That should read "the largest Muslim population IN the West," not "the largest Muslim population outside of the West."

I am sorry, I thought that conservatives would prefer the US turning into Europe than some other continent whose colored inhabitants you hold in low regards.

They just want the unobtainable Utopia. They think they can steal all the money and wealth from the "rich" and create a Utopia. They fail to realize that once they do that, the USA will become like the Soviet Union or East Germany, and we will all be utterly poor, and the political elites will be the ones living high on the hog.

Well said, and Liberals still have not learned nothing is free and some in the end always pays for it. Plus the Europeans are willing to give freedoms and economic prosperity to be comfortable.

P.S. Those of you with European ancestry, why let the U.S. change into the very thing your ancestors took great risks to get away from?
But that will not happen until people realize how their elected politicians are looting the Treasury, to buy votes and power. The voters allow the politicians to pit us against each other, while they toss around money to their cronies and enrich themselves.

All it takes for a corrupt politician is to promise free money from some vague rich guy, for the voters eyes to glaze over and cast a vote for them. Meanwhile, their is no rich guy, they are just creating more debt, and unfunded liabilities for even more debt.

When will the people wake up??

Have the Greek people woken up? How about the Puerto Ricans? Those still left in Detroit?

Where do you guys get those ideas?

Did someone find out about the Hauptschule/Realschule/Gymnasium choice and then extrapolate to absurdity?

So - when, in your expert opinion, will Sweden become like East Germany? Should I start shorting Sandvik stock?
