This is an interesting article about Michael Kinsley's impressions of Nancy Pelosi and her plans for the country if the Democrats take Congress. Kinsley, as far as I know, is a left-leaning columnist for Slate who seems to really want to vote Democrat, but can't seem to after talking to Pelosi. His main complaints are that she offers nothing for the war except meaningless talk about redeploying tropps in a "responsible" manner, whatever that means, and something about tax benefits for veterans. Somehow I don't think that terrorists are angry because we don't pay our veterans enough. She also seems to think that the solution to the health care "crisis" is to make small businesses pay 50% of health care costs or something ridiculous like that. Won't that destroy small businesses, make people invest in larger companies instead, and only exacerbate the destruction of the middle class?

And then I read an article about what Europe wants from this election. Old Europe seems to be hoping for a Democrat victory. Why? One blogger, a European, said that if the Dems win, that will only encourage the Muslim youth that are causing such problems in Europe (it's not just in France, not by a long shot). They already show contempt for Europeans, and a Democrat victory will be seen by many as the US folding, as well.

And what are the primary problems in Europe today? Besides the violent Muslim stuff, it's the failure of the welfare-state, and the stagnant economies. And the Democrats see these failing economies as roadmaps to follow, and lead our country to an equal oblivion. If they were smart, Europeans would pray for a Republican victory, because when the Caliphate decides that it's time to incorporate Europe, we will be the only ones standing in the way. And if you can't see that happening, you haven't paid much attention to what Muslim leaders are saying.
