French Rioters

Interesting angle on the riots in France over at Chicago Boyz: The current intifada in France has stripped the American Left of its second Utopia in a generation.

In murder we are still below, but wheras it was 10.5 vs 1.6 the year Ronny got elected, it is 5.5 vs 2.4 now. Per 100.000.

This year we have as many rapes per capita as the US, more than doubling in 15 years. Property crime has always been a worse problem in Sweden.

So it depends how you weight it. Murder US is still worse (yes I know 20 of the 50 states have lower crime rate than Sweden, but on average), but in most other crime he is right.

Don’t exagerate the nativity thing. It does NOT hurt economic standards other than in a transition period, and thats just because if stupid pension system. Other than that yes the European model is worthless.

In Sweden Katarina (or the exagerated media pictures) was a feast for the leftwing media. They wrote more aobut it that you did I think, the “proof” of US barbarism. The Socialdemocratic priminister talked several minuts about Katarina in his main speech in their party congress! For Europe US is the boogyman to scare people straight.

But with France there is no such attempt to draw national conclusions, they underreport itand blaim it on the goverment.

Riots have spread and worsened across France. Rightwing extremists in this country have characterized this tragedy unfolding as the “French Intifada” led by what the blog chicagoboyz.net calls “the very large, unassimilated, unemployed and unemployable…

RaiNews 24′s lies about “white phosphorous flares” used by US Army at Fallujah were peddled to everyone (AdnKronos, AGI, Corriere della Sera, L’Unità, Repubblica) and they are the opening title at Google News. But this “terrible chemical weapon” is u…

Am I wrong, Lex?

Clearly, most of “Old Europe” is living under a Fascist form of government, some more than others. But, in truth, it is State control and heavy regulation of Industry(the means of production), and the placation of the masses with the ‘social’ Nipple, that is supposed to keep them placated.

Unfortunately, someone forgot to include the Islamic masses that moved in, hoping to partake of the good times, when Europe was not in the process of being dragged down into the economic gutter.

And Bat Ye’or has been correct all along. It was a combination of Fascism, coupled with the creation of Eurabia, that is the icing on the cake.

So, in the spirit of getting things correct, think FASCISM, not Socialism here. And make no mistake: the “Third Way” will NEVER work,

Also, I’m a little unclear of what “Right’s Utopia” you refer to? (The right does not believe in Utopias – it may argue that the best shouldn’t get in the way of the better. What best & better are you referring to?)

Isn’t it nice to sit back and smirk behind your television and computer screen and have all the answers for those poor little folks who have to – or at least want to – work for their tiny little living? What a smug, arrogant little hypocrite you are, Lexington. Shame on you.

A couple or more articles that provide more evidence for my point of view and less for the moderate lets understand them view.

Anyhow, just because you WANT to believe something doesn’t make it true.

Speaking of the Dems,ChicagoBoyz point out, Paris Burns, The Second Leftist Utopia Burns With It: In addition to thousands of cars, lots of buildings, and at least one elderly old lady doused with gasoline by the rioting “youths” of Paris, the Americ…

Neither are the argentineans and the californians mentioned.

“It is the “insurgents” who are doing the lion’s share of the bombing in Iraq these days.”

Really? i’d be surprised if we didn’t use much more ordinance than they did.

actus: Pro-globalization areas use cluster bombs and the US army.

Washington is not bombing Paris.

And you’re a little behind the times with your attempt to change the subject. It is the “insurgents” who are doing the lion’s share of the bombing in Iraq these days.

The media hasn’t been really good at telling us that fact. Paris is goddamn burning. Various reports are out that Jacques Chirac is just starting to react to the violence sweeping Paris – mostly due to last night where there were 1295 vehicles t…
