I caught this piece this morning during my coffee review and it certainly got me thinking because it rang a familiar bell. I have a neighbor who moved to the states from the Netherlands only a year ago and one of the first things I noticed from him was his rather colorful language. So, one evening after several beers, I had to ask him to tone things down a bit because it was unacceptable. He then preceded to tell me a thing or two about his life back home. A few more beers later we reached an agreement and he has made the effort to check some oft used terms at the door

Enough of the background, time for the article.

This week’s Sports Illustrated featured an article on French soccer star Thierry Henry. Henry, who is black, signed with the New York Red Bulls this season after spending over a decade playing in Europe. What shocks Henry most about America? Whereas European fans routinely insult and slur black players, Americans don’t.

“I’ve been to a lot of arenas to watch NBA games and the Yankees, and I have never heard anyone have a go at a guy because he’s from Puerto Rico or the Dominican or Africa or wherever,” Henry marveled. “I can understand why people in America are kind of shocked [by European racism], because that doesn’t happen in their sports.”


Time to start scratching your head

Europe is far more racist than America. Yet the left is in love with European values. They love Europe’s emphasis on promiscuous sex. They love Europe’s redistributive economic policies. Most of all, they love Europe’s willingness to abandon all principle in supposed gratification of multiculturalism.

Unfortunately for the left, Europe has proved itself a failure on each of these elements. Europe’s emphasis on free love without commitment has created a childbearing holocaust—Europe is not reproducing at even replacement rates. That failure to reproduce is hastening the decline of Europe’s suicidal economy, which is so top-heavy with aging union workers that it makes Dolly Parton look like Keira Knightley.


We are slapped with these news stories on a daily basis and as a prime example of the declining birthrate and a culture shift it was just released that Mohammed most popular name for newborn boys -- in England!

That failing economic structure means more and more reliance on impoverished immigrants, who are not interested in assimilating into what they perceive as a morally bankrupt culture. And that failure to assimilate destroys precipitating societal fragmentation.

As Europe collapses, however, the left clings even more tightly to the European model. They cannot allow the utopian socialist dream to die its well-deserved death.


How true. Apparently, we have an administration that refuses to see the forest through the trees. The model is failing yet they think that we can do better on a massive scale that pales in comparison to that of Europe.

So, rather than examine the problems within their system they choose to blame capitalism as the root of the problem.

Capitalism requires individual responsibility and accountability. People are seen as atomized units in a capitalist system—they are either useful or they are not. They are not seen racially or ethnically or religiously. They consume and they produce, and those are their only relevant characteristics.

This seems cold, but it isn’t. It’s profoundly fair and profoundly anti-discriminatory. It creates a colorblind system—the only color that matters is green.


Socialism, by contrast, requires a justification for why certain individuals should give money to other individuals for no apparent reason. Socialism has no moral justification whatsoever; poor people are not morally superior to rich people, nor are they owed anything by rich people simply because of their lack of success. Charity is not a socialist concept—it is a religious one, an acknowledgment of God’s sovereignty over property, a sovereignty the left utterly rejects.

socialism rests on seeing people as members of groups, not as individuals. Rich sons are responsible for the existent or non-existent sins of their fathers; poor sons are due benefits because of their fathers’ tough lives. Racism is a critical element of the socialist agenda—focus on group identity provides the only supposed moral justification for redistribution of wealth. It’s no surprise that when socialism fails, racism bubbles beneath.


Sound familiar?? We have heard the same rhetoric uttered from the mouth of our very POTUS. He and his backers have strived to reignite the flames of Racism in this country by the constant name calling, finger pointing and baseless race baiting. Just look at the concerted effort to demonize the Tea Party Movement, Fox News and even singular broadcasters like Glenn Beck. They must construct an enemy to fight or they cannot exist and their model and dream then self destructs. These are textbook tactics folks.
