Their society is coming apart at the seams, and they have officially declared that there is no "Swedish culture." This means that they have disavowed their own heritage, their history, who they are. They live a hedonistic lifestyle, in which most do not both to marry because marriage is seen as a transient thing at most. Free sex and easy is the drug that pervades Swedish culture (yes, there is one, despite official pronouncements to the contrary), and this is allowing the "managers" to give away the country to the in-coming muzlim hoards who are taking over the country quite rapidly. The city of Malmo is completely muzlim dominated, and most other Swedish cities are heavily infested. Sweden is a MESS, a typical social rose garden!Dr.Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18360786634583725263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993108951931633758.post-49046223796673614532010-06-26T17:54:20.260-05:002010-06-26T17:54:20.260-05:00Then there's my brother, who genuinely believe...Then there's my brother, who genuinely believes he knows better how to spend my paycheck than I do. Frankly admits to being a socialist - "What's wrong w/ that?" <br />Well, other than sooner or later you run out of other people's money (M.Thatcher) and it's never worked ANYWHERE it's been tried (he likes to point to Sweden, I remind him of the insane suicide rate). He fails to see that it rewards mediocrity and indolence, while penalizing excellence and success.... <br />Sad.Pete(Detroit)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993108951931633758.post-12145992619522819032010-06-26T17:40:33.357-05:002010-06-26T17:40:33.357-05:00Stilton.....Liberal thinking wasnt always a bad th...Stilton.....Liberal thinking wasnt always a bad thing as it is today...its become as we know dependence on big government when originally it was open to new ideas that had nothing to do with getting something for nothing. As Im learning lately, liberals arent the worst, its the 'progressives' that can be found in both parties that are quite insidious. <br /><br />Im glad the responsibilities of parenthood and all got ya to thinking...for me, it was my new relationship with God and his precepts found in the bible, plus becoming a father... hey, whatever it takes!! we're ALL looking forward to this November!pryorguynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993108951931633758.post-89124249985354338392010-06-26T14:29:11.070-05:002010-06-26T14:29:11.070-05:00Libs do ask "Who will pay for it". When ...Libs <i>do</i> ask "Who will pay for it". When the answer is "the government", most probe no further. Those who do probe further get platitudes about increasing the profits taxes on businesses without ever equating that answer to higher costs and, therefor, a tax ultimately on themselves. <br /><br />What really bothers me are those who are perfectly happy with having "windfall taxes" on investors, higher taxation on the rich, and other manifestations of class envy. First, to their gullibility, history has many lessons on how the numbers of those considered "rich" swell and move as the "haves" are slowly stripped of their riches - eventually, wealth is taken from everyone until all is communal property (read: property of the government to be doled out as they see fit - one hell of a power base!). But worse: this tenet is part and parcel of socialism. Accuse them of being socialists and they respond strongly that they aren't - clearly, they have no idea what socialism is, but understand that, at least to most Americans, it carries a negative connotation.Emmentaler Limburgerhttp://pateratic.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993108951931633758.post-44148423049008136522010-06-26T13:55:55.826-05:002010-06-26T13:55:55.826-05:00You can turn that around the other way as well -- ...You can turn that around the other way as well -- "Bless is ignorance." If you are happy with all of this, you are clearly dumb as a post!<br /><br />I have simply never understood how anyone could be a Lib. Do they never seriously ask themselves the question, "who pays for it all?" You have to be willfully blind to believe in the Utopia of the Left, and frankly I cannot accept that very many do. I think that in their heart of hearts they say, "well, it wont be me." In that they are probably correct, but that is an genuinely evil answer, an answer that is as callous and uncaring for the welfare of others as it is possible to have. <br /><br />If I am correct, then all of the talk about caring for others, caring for the earth, etc. is done knowing full well that it is completely bogus and that they do not mean a word of it. They are liars through and through. That is just plain wicked.Dr.Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18360786634583725263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993108951931633758.post-19832268298748135912010-06-26T10:35:12.882-05:002010-06-26T10:35:12.882-05:00BornLIb- You're not alone.

Having such a horrifically biased media that obfuscates said bias was partially to blame, but maleducation certainly played a part.

We have a non-stop dribble of acid invective from the Obama administration aided and abetted by Hollywood, the MSM, and other cultural elites. It works like poison in the hearts and small minds of the great bulk of citizens who don't start paying attention (if then) until it's time to vote. This is when liberals pretend they're moderates and the liberal MSM presents itself as moderate and fair-minded. The markers that define various groups have already been moved. This November I have hope that more people are paying attention to the actual results of policy and ignoring the chatter from the demagogues.
