Lonely Days, Lonely Nights

Red America vs. European blues.

Jonah Goldberg examines how anti-Americanism in Europe is an old problem and how it will be with us for many years to come. The cold war kept it at a minimum because the Europeans back then were not totally stupid. They understood that living under the Soviets would have put a bit of a crimp on their cocktail parties. But now that the bear is gone, they feel free to attack us as much as they want. And they do so out of envy and resentment at not being the masters of the universe that their socialist ideology tells them they should be. Of course they still refuse to reform their economies and adopt more free-market policies. Taxes remain high and anti-business and anti-investment regulations are still plentiful. Wealth re-distribution from the productive to the parasites is still a way of life. Thus they remain mired in an economic quagmire.

Dreams die hard for the elitists of The Angry Left.
