Sarvis is going to go apeshit when he sees this thread.

"There are many policies--such as Danish incentives for industrial firms to greenify themselves, efficient universal health care and tough fuel economy standards for cars--that should be discussed and perhaps even adopted in some form in the U.S."

Thanks Jeff, those are some of the things us Democrats support. You probably should have read the last paragraph of your article.

That's not the last paragraph.

Interesting article Jeff, but you are aware that European nations and the European Union are different creatures? Same as America and Mexico are part of NAFTA, but not the same country.
And the euroweenies are taking some of those fierce bad terriers from Gitmo-the guys who have you righties wrapping yourselves in plastic and duct tape under your beds at night.
What's up with that?

The article seems to keep a focus on """"welfare"""" state.

Well, the idiots can't seem to figure out that if wages keep being reduced the only thing that can emerge is WELFARE state. The stupid ass righties can't seem to figure it out.

This is pure bull. When was Europe ever a role model for America. After the Magna Carta things pretty much everything went down hill. I know most of you don't agree, but the Constitution was the greatest leap ahead any free people ever made. One thing even an agnostic like me can understand. If your rights come from God or a higher power they can't be arbitrarily taken away by man. We have been and should continue to be the role model for the rest of the world. Even though at this one moment in are history the people in charge in DC don't believe in it.

Just when they turned conservative. Who makes this call anyway?

Europe stopped being a role model for me when I first read about how we ran Britain out on its ass. Those were the days school books did not have blame-America-for-everything themes and teachers were not union hacks vomiting up the party line.

I read the article in its entirety.

I don't agree with everything the author posited. He basically states that while the European model has much to be desired - I disagree - it doesn't work for the US - I agree.

Hey folks, our revolution was against Europeanism! That is the essence of this country. No royalty (Kennedy, Bush clan, Roosevelt, Paris Hilton), no privilege (quotas) and no unwritten law (the "living, breathing" Constitution).
Get with our most wise founders. Otherwise, keep trying to convince us soccer is a "sport."

That's not the last paragraph.
