A Good Neighbor Does What I Say!

Posted on April 9, 2013 by | Leave a comment

Marie Kraup heads the Dansk Folkeparti in Denmark which is very upset at people who come to their country and don’t even speak Danish, let alone knowing anything about the history and customs of their society. As far as Marie is concerned, Denmark for Danes and all others can leave her land. For some strange reason, Marie decided to go visiting in the world. She arrived in New Zealand where she visited a naval base, and was shocked to learn these people don’t even speak Danish!! Even worse, instead of  being “met with handshakes or salutes by uniformed men” the Danes were “greeted by a Maroi dance ritual with a half-naked man in a grass skirt that yelled and screamed in Maroi.”

Horror of horror, Marie was forced to give the Maroi greeting of rubbing noses together! Perhaps the most horrible sight was that of a penis in a Maroi temple. What can one expect from people who don’t even  speak Danish??

Putin Greeted Nakedly

Posted on April 9, 2013 by | Leave a comment

President Vladimir Putin is currently visiting Germany and upon his arrival in Berlin the Great Leader of Russia was greeted with an open and naked welcome from some gorgeous females who offered him a bare-breasted, arms up raised, and boobies at alert. Naked from the waist up, the females offered Putin a warm “fuck the dictator” comment that can not be uttered without penalty in Putinland. Vladimir smiled and commented “I don’t see anything terrible about it” but his bodyguards grabbed the females, threw coats over their bodies and hauled them away. His spokesperson later made clear “this is ordinary hooliganism. One needs to punish them.”

Chancellor Merkel clashed with Putin over his crackdown on NGOs whom he accuses of being “foreign agents.” Yes, these foreign agents want the people of Russia to enjoy a democratic society. They argued over Syria since when it comes to dictators there is no better friend than Vladimir Putin. Oh, they did agree that North Korea was sort of going somewhat nutty.

Tax Rich End Society

Posted on March 31, 2013 by | Leave a comment

French President Francois Hollande is accused of seeking to end the French way of life because he wants to tax income over $1,300,000. During World War II in the United States of America there was a top level of 90% tax on income over a million dollars a year. We had this quaint idea that in the midst of a crisis everyone had to pay their fair share. That 90% top rate did not end for twenty years. Despite “confiscating” the wealth of those with money, the US enjoyed a boom economy and the middle class did very well. Conservatives decry raising minimum wages to $9 an hour which they claim will lead to less profit and fewer jobs. Of course, the boss can take a lower wage which would free up money to avoid firing people.

These days the average income of a CEO in America exceeds a million a  year. I have a hunch most could get along on $900,000.

AfterLife??

Posted on March 27, 2013 by | Leave a comment

At age 82, among the constant thoughts in my mind is whether or not there is another life in my Death. A recent poll in Denmark revealed that 71% of so called Christian Danes do not believe in the concept of Heaven, it is not clear how they feel about the concept of Hell. Only 16% believe there is an afterlife. This attitude indicates that something has gone wrong with organized religion. If over 70% of people do not believe in an afterlife then what the heck are they going to church of synagogues or mosques for– to hear someone preach? The essence of religion is  predicated on the assumption that if I endure endless sermons and fulfill duties to the religion the least I can receive is some form of afterlife.

As far as I am concerned there is no problem transporting me across the universe to some distant  planet where intelligent life forms do not engage in constant wars and murders. I can readily enjoy an afterlife on some planet where love reigns–for eternity!!

European Socialists Attack Wealthy

Posted on March 25, 2013 by | Leave a comment

During the past decade a continual complaint of Republicans was spread of “European ideas” by their Democratic opponents. Mitt and George and John argued the goal of Democrats was to introduce Socialist ideas from capitalist nations such as England and Germany that would result in taking from the rich to give to the poor. For some reason, Democrats did not understand that in a capitalist nation one takes from the poor and middle class in order to aid wealthy folk. If you doubt this, just check the Sermon on the Mount. As we all know, the goal of Jesus was to spread the gospel of “Defend Those With Wealth.”

Cyprus is being compelled to tax wealthy bank depositors if they desire a bail out from noted Capitalist Germany and the European Union. Those who have bank deposits that exceed $150,000 will pay a tax. Russians reportedly have over $30 billion in Cyprus banks since they do not wish to pay taxes in Russia. Finally, evidence of European Socialists in action against the wealthy!

Still Another French Revolution

Posted on March 25, 2013 by | Leave a comment

France has for centuries been the source of human rights  ever since crowds marched in Paris to end a monarchy and empower the forces of democracy. To say the word, France, is to express a desire to extend democracy. A majority  of people in France  now support the principle of same sex marriage. In effect, they believe everyone has the right to marry anyone. But, there are thousands who oppose such ideas. Over one million in January marched to protest a new law which makes legal gay marriage. On Sunday, another 300,000 yelled and screamed their opposition to the proposed law.

The Old Regime had one more opportunity on Sunday to have supporters ready to defend their right to oppress people in France. It is sad that in 2013 there are French people who seek return to the good old days when those with power ruled over those lacking power.

Toujours L’amour

Posted on March 25, 2013 by | Leave a comment

As a young soldier sent to Europe my  fondest dream was to go to Paris, walk down a street and encounter a gorgeous woman who would gaze in my direction and then take me to her apartment for a night of love.  In case that did not occur, there were always ladies of the night willing to embrace my body for a few francs. For my generation, Paris was the center of love and sex. The years passed and France passed laws that banned women from passively soliciting men on the streets of Paris. But, now, thanks to Najat Valkaud-Bekacem, Women Rights Minister, that odious law will be repealed and women will enjoy the right to have sex with whomever they desire-and for a price.

If it is legal, fewer women will be compelled to seek a pimp for protection against the police. It is is legal, women will be able to ply their trade in the open and in well trafficked area. This means less violence to women.

Police Foil Islamist Plot

Posted on March 17, 2013 by | Leave a comment

It is always comforting to learn about police action which prevented an act of crime, but it is strange that in the majority of cases the plotters are Muslim terrorists. German police arrested four men who are Muslim Salafists, an extreme form of the Muslim religion. They are charged with planning to murder Markus Beisilcht, a leader of the far right Pro NRW party that hates Muslims and wants them out of Germany. The Salafist movement had been attracting more members in recent years among those of the Muslim faith currently living in Germany. Great news that murder was prevented.

However, why do the police more often than not prevent action against non-Muslims and rarely prevent action against Muslims by neo Nazi groups? Society is focused on preventing radical Muslims and less focused on preventing radical Neo Nazi groups.

Just wondering.

Hungry Hungers For Authoritarian Leaders

Posted on March 17, 2013 by | Leave a comment

Hungary is supposedly a member of the European Union whose goals are to further the goal of democracy. However, Prime Minister Viktor Orban is determined to wipe out the very semblance of democracy in his nation. His conservative Fidesz is pushing through Parliament laws that weaken the power of the once independent courts. Hungarian constitutional lawyer, Gabor Halmai, terms the proposed laws an effort that would result in a ‘systematic abolishment of the constitutional order.” Others claim these new laws upset the balance of power between the executive, legislature and judicial branches of government.

Orban has previously attacked “Jewish influence” in government and even claimed that Jewish leaders in Hungary are in reality agents of the Israel government. The new order is simply an attack on free speech and the free press.

Abbas Wants Peace, Does Bibi??

Posted on March 16, 2013 by | Leave a comment

Once upon a time, a long, long time ago there was a solid and hard working bloc of people in Israel who desired to live in peace with their Palestinian neighbors. Leaders such as Yasser Arafat and President Abbas rejected offers that might have resulted in finally resolving the conflict with Israel. Unfortunately, for peace in the Middle East, Benjamin Netanyahu became prime minister and proceeded to play on fear and hysteria to halt any progress in the pursuit of peace. Palestinian President Mahmud Abbas told Russian President Putin that it was time to once again take another effort for peace in the Middle East.

“Although the chances for this may not be great, we still hope to reach a political settlement on the basis of the principle of a two-state solution.” The alternative is maintaining the status quo which simply reduces any opportunity for peace in our time.  Peace requires Israel to make still another effort, it requires Palestinians to accept a compromise that does not include return of refugees. After all, Jewish refugees who fled for their lives in 1948 from Arab lands will not be returning to their homes of businesses.
