“The Lid”: America’s Future? France’s Prime Minister Slams Wealthy Leaving Country Because of High Taxes

Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault blasted those who are trying to keep some of their hard earned Euros by moving.

“Those who are seeking exile abroad are not those who are scared of becoming poor,” the prime minister declared after unveiling sweeping anti-poverty measures to help those hit by the economic crisis.

These individuals are leaving “because they want to get even richer,” he said. “We cannot fight poverty if those with the most, and sometimes with a lot, do not show solidarity and a bit of generosity,” he added.

“Thankfully, few are seeking exile to exempt themselves from being in solidarity with fellow Frenchmen.”

On March 18, the 141st anniversary of the Paris Commune, organizers were expecting 20,000 to 30,000 to show up for a march and rally to “seize the Bastille” in Paris. Up to 120,000 took part.

Can we torch Time Magazine’s offices now? Time and Facebook support terrorists.

I should declare an interest and say that I have always admired Time Magazine. It has great journalists. It has even commissioned your humble correspondent and allowed him to join its exalted company of writers – and more to the point paid your humble correspondent ready money for the privilege. In normal circumstances I would deplore the notion that its offices should be firebombed and editors, reporters, critics, subs, secretaries and IT support staff reduced to piles of smouldering ashes, so charred and diminished their next kin would not be able to identify them.

But what possible argument can those of us who shudder at the thought of arsonists torching Time, and immolating all who work there, now make in its defence? The latest issue contains a piece saying that the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo deserved to have someone – maybe an Islamist, maybe not – firebomb its offices in Paris. It is worth studying because its author seems to be trying to provide a defence for anyone who attacks his own company’s premises.  read more

American Thinker: Life under Communism

“By the skillful and sustained use of propaganda, one can make a people see even heaven as hell or an extremely wretched life as paradise.” – Adolf Hitler

I  am worried because too many people, especially our youth, don’t even have a clue as to what living under a totalitarian regime is like. Here is my story, how I learned about the evils of government domination and became the patriotic freedom-fighter that I am today.

I am a descendant of immigrants from Yugoslavia. They immigrated to the United States around 1900. As a young child, I took it for granted that my grandmother and mother spoke in a different language when they got together. I took it for granted that we ate different food at Grandma’s house such as potica, blood sausage, sallata, and homemade noodles. It was when I was five years old that something happened to make me painfully aware that something was, indeed, very different about my family.

At that time, my mother disappeared for a while. I didn’t really understand where she was, but when she came back, she brought a stranger with her, a stranger to live in our home. His name was France. He was my mom’s cousin, and he lived with us for about a year. He was very nice and a lot of fun, but he was very nervous. He was nervous all the time. When we would go out in the car he would constantly be looking around, smoking a cigarette, with hands shaking, glancing continuously at the cars behind us or next to us. He would say things like, “They are after me.” “They have followed me here.” “They’re going to get me.”

Burning the Koran: Why Not?

Why on earth do leaders pander to the tantrums of Muslim radicals?

He made his point which the msm failed to report on.

The whole of the western world is cringing in fear, groveling and appeasing Muslims at every turn. Many western Europe countries now have sharia courts, France has more than 350 areas totally under sharia law. No US book publisher will put out a book that could be deemed offensive to Muslims in any way. Pathetic. Real Americans will not tolerate going the way of western Europe.

“Tolerance becomes a crime when applied to evil.” – Thomas Mann (1875-1955″
