Does America have the spirit to actually rise and say there are things that we have to do?

"Unsustainable", I think that was the word most oft used by the UN to convince weak minded nations to succumb to their ideological nonsense.  But finally someone has come along to to put the word where it belongs...as Charles Krauthammers says, "In the end, the social democratic state is unsustainable because the public sector, being parasitic, is too large and the private sector is unable to sustain it."  A very powerful statement if I ever heard one!  The only problem is that liberals cannot hear the word when used in it's proper context because liberals are parasitic.  With that said it only stands to reason that the liberal mindset is unsustainable.  Furthermore, they can't see what's happening "all around Europe". ~ Norman E. Hooben

Oh, and did I mention, “What is going on in Europe will not stay in Europe…

It’s coming  to the  U.S.A.

Krauthammer’s Take

By NRO Staff

From Wednesday night’s Fox News All-Stars.

On a union protester in France claiming that “We want to stop work at 60 because it’s something our parents, our grandparents and even our great-grandparents fought for”:

Is that what the Second World War was about? I thought it was about something else.  This is a perfect example of what happens when you get the bloated, social democratic state: two effects. The first is economic. It’s unsustainable as we see all around Europe and you get the result we saw. In England the government has to have absolutely radical cuts, the largest cuts in government handouts essentially in 70 years, very, very major. Nothing is spared, including the military.
But at least it’s a realistic approach. If you look at what happens in France, you see the second effect of generation after generation of a nanny state which provides all of one’s needs. It’s essentially a spiritual collapse — a country in which you have millions in the streets rioting, attacks on police, shutting of the refineries — over the raising of the retirement age from 60 to 62! — is a country you can only describe as decadent, after all the years of being infantilized. It doesn’t have the spirit to actually rise and say there are things that we have to do.

And that I think are the two effects that people living here see abroad. In the end, the social democratic state is unsustainable because the public sector, being parasitic, is too large and the private sector is unable to sustain it. And secondly, it changes the spirit of the people in a way that in the end can be irreversible.
