The Lefts Love Affair with Europe
Certain people of the leftist persuasion are always trying to convince the rest of us that Europe is superior to America and, quite frankly, Im getting sick and tired of it. We even hear that certain Supreme Court justices are less interested in what the Constitution says, or common sense would dictate, than in how their decisions will be viewed on the other side of the Atlantic.
Whenever the Europeans do something, no matter how cowardly or corrupt, their champions in our country can be counted on to put the best possible face on it. With one Socialistic country after another perched on the brink of bankruptcy, our yahoos continue to ballyhoo their failed policies as if they were all paid flacks.
Whats particularly peculiar is that these are the very same people who dislike white American males of European descent, but who cant stop gushing about white European males. Go figure.

Europe entering new year beset by problems and bereft of fresh ideas
New Year is the time when politicians love a makeover, declaring that old ideas are out and bold and fresh thinking is in.
But New Year's resolutions are tough, and not all leaders of the 25 European Union members have the same ideas.
The EU is mired in some truly awful problems as well as a cacophony of competing aspirations among its 25 nations. Hauling itself out of the mess will need a lot more than a dash of euro-babble and a chorus of Auld Lang Syne in the
Europe’s Muslims divided in wake of cartoon furor
As protests against the Danish cartoons fade, Europe’s moderate Muslims are facing difficult choices about their faith, identity, and values.
„The middle ground in Muslim communities is between a rock and a hard place”, says Omar Shah, an Afghan-Danish commentator on Muslim affairs. „The moderate majority is having to decide where they stand.”
During a month of flag-burning protests in Europe against cartoons of the prophet Muhammad, the voices of Islamic radicals were the loudest. As the flames die down, however, it is increasingly clear that the cartoon affair has reignited difficult debates
