Welcome to Europe.

Yes, welcome to Europe. Welcome to socialized everything and feminized culture. Welcome to the arrogant smuggness of those who 'care' more than you do. Welcome to ever increasing health and safety laws, anti-discrimination laws, eco-friendly laws and an overweaning government that intrudes without competence in every part of your lives. Welcome to waiting over a year to get a hip replacement. Wecome to 54% total tax burden on ordinary folk. Welcome to a democracy ordered to please 'in vogue' minorities. Welcome to talking with your enemies and appeasing Islam.

Feminized? Obama is the biggest misogynist I have laid eyes on in decades.

Yes, he is.

And to the original post- this will make Europe look like Utopia. Welcome to Zimbabwe or Cuba.

"Most people in the U.S. are moral, religious, and responsible." I disagree. The secular attack on religious folk is mind-numbing. Look to San Francisco for what will soon be acceptable morals. Look to your neighbor who makes $300 a week but lives in a $240,000 home for today's 'responsible'. "What are they to think when banks, Wall Street execs, and other assorted useless fools are rewarded for behaving like thieves?" While there certainly is blame to be laid on Wall Street and some banks, let us not leave Barney Fag and his helpers out of this discussion. Many banks were forced by DC legislation to contribute to the recent financial meltdown. I work in the financial arena and can attest to what Sarbannes-Oxley, Community Reinvestment act, and other odious legislation has cost many financials. Many banking services that were once free are now very expensive. Fees and other cost-based services were put in place to offset the losses from bad loans and other regulations that were required by DC law.
