[cotchery]

Victor, I'm a fan, but for the love of God, get a tailor...

[cecalder]

@cotchery I laughed that this comment.  You're right!

"...like angry, petulant teenagers..."

That kind of goes with the whole socialism thing.

I am a huge fan of Victor Davis Hanson!! read most of his books!!

Thomas Sowell said the strange thing is, if you insulate people from threats, they begin to think there is no threat.

This is what's happened with Europe. An analogy to Victor's last point, is the US has almost fallen into a kind of welfare trap. Giving handouts makes a person dependent, not productive. People need to feel some vulnerability, otherwise they're never going to have motivation.

Hanson is #1. I like reading his articles on the NRO website.

'' Europe is a class bound society. As an immigrant, you are always located in time and space by where you were born , the sound of your voice and who you parents were ... ''

That is very true. Social segregation at his best.

Uncommon Knowledge is truly enlightening

They are yelling, they wave their hands, don't know how to do accounting, take siestas - yeah, great description of the "sunny people" for you...

[qncsc]

A very competent thinker.

[MultiUniv3rsal]

Banning the burqa in France? I'd call it repealing the burqa.

Good talk, thanks!

This guy is an academic moron, Greece will not leave the Euro purely for the fact that Germany bailed them out, without that assistance, Greece would of tanked long ago. The EU might be a pain in the ass however, Eurabia and EU breakup BS is rubbish.

[Halo4Lyf]

@RepublicOfVietnam Demographics don't lie. Are you saying that the political entity known as the EU will survive the death of the European majority on the Continent?

"The difference between Greece and Germany is much more than Mississippi and Minnesota"

Professor Hanson, astute and on the mark as always.

[paradoarify]
