…sm) has colonized huge swaths of the planet. Most of South East Asia succumbed to this invasive weed of European ideology. Pol Pot’s Cambodia, Ho Chi Minh’s Vietnam, Kim Il Sung’s North Korea and Mao’s China are the poster children of communist colonial imperial expansionism and examples of the inevitable poverty and slaughter that occurs when the ideology takes over nations or entire regions. Most of these maniacs learned…
…h on the same weekend it brought in $70M from 55 foreign territories – a tally that actually beats the Hunger Games opening foreign total of $59.3M from 67 territories. The John Carter opening weekend total did not include China or Japan – major markets – which is another indication that globally, John Carter was not the dud that it was in the US. There has been much speculation that internal politics may have played a role in Disney’s lacklus…
What does Happily Ever After look like in this day and age? In 1931 it looked like a house with a white picket fence, 2.5 kids and a dog. Has this quaint image been replaced with a doorman, a condo on the 22nd floor and a single child with a weekend vacation house? Has the trusty dog graduated into an accessory with his own Louis Vuitton carrier? To think, in mainland China families break the law to have more than one child yet we, here i…
…773 was introduced by Senator John Rockefeller. It would give the federal government legal right to shut down the Internet at its discretion under the guise of “national security”. Sounds a little like China, doesn’t it? Maybe that’s why Anita Dunn finds comfort in the teachings of Chairman Mao. There is, however, one factor that I don’t think Anita or the rest of this administration understands.&nb…
… NAFTA in place and expand it to all of the Western Hemisphere. NAFTA has been proven to create jobs for all of its participants. Plus, it creates an economic area that has the ability to compete with the EU and the growth of China and India. The Obama administration will attack out-sourcing and claim that this is one of the evils of the Bush Administration. We cannot allow this to happen. By becoming isolationist and forcing businesses to hire w…
…s “Question Authority” (ascribed to Timothy Leary, although Benjamin Franklin is quoted: “it is the first responsibility of every citizen to question authority”). Is it possible that after a long return trip from China, Gates flashed back to his student advocacy sentiments? What I don’t understand is why this was such a prominent issue for our president. “Law and Order” seems little more than an episodic TV show to most young people …
…hat should get their attention. STRAW #11 – The Deficit – Can anyone even write down a number that big without running off the paper. Maybe we should just declare bankruptcy and start from scratch. That would really piss off China. The sad part is our grandchildren will still be paying this one off. Of course if we brought all our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan home we’d probably have it paid off in about 15 years. Then again we could always pri…
…lling to lead from behind at times. The world that Obama is living in was predicted. The late Herman Kahn in his 1982, The Coming Boom, foresaw a world in which multiple regional and world powers would rise including Brazil, China, India, and Russia. Kahn’s thesis was that United States would lead an economic boom for the rest of the century; which he was right on, plus the United States would be a premier power, but new powers would arise incl…
…is buddy, George Soros. Seems oil is just the stuff to fuel other countries’ economies, but it’s no good here in the USA. Nevertheless, Obama has promised that we’ll be Brazil’s number one customer. A role we’ve since lost to China. But let’s put aside for the moment whether a President of the United States should make it our goal to be another country’s “best customer” rather than its best supplier, choosing to rely on imported foreign energy ra…
