Excellent. That “all cultures are equal stuff” really works in the real world doesn’t it? I don’t think so.
This is what’s so dangerous about Obammy and the left. They don’t know reality from their elbow.

An apartment for $300,000 with a 15-year mortgage? I'd have 20 prime mountain acres with a trout stream and a 3BR log chalet you wouldn't believe..............!

The US Taxpayer has poured $8 billion into this craphole via Citibank. I’m certain the unpaid US contractors will demand the Gov’t make them whole.

Dubai in the last 2 decades, is the perfect example of pomposity, decadence, excess and hubris.
I can't help but feel some schadenfreude...

Let’s see - Muslims invade France, Holland, Sweden, Germany, Denmark, Norway, Australia, etc etc,the UK and get ENDLESS benefits? Ditto with illegals in ObamaNation aka formerly the USA.
But if you get into debt in a Muslim country you go to jail?

Let us hope it is cards, and not dominoes.

OZYMANDIAS
I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shatter'd visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamp'd on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

I like a person who knows how to use words like pomposity, hubris and schadenfreude in one post.
I also like to throw in smug, arrogant and condescending when I’m talking about “liberals” and the Dims.
When I’m talking about the MSM I have been know to throw in “cultural and artistic hegemony” too.
