#1 Something else that might help is for the United States to stop enabling Europes delusions by giving Europeans a free security ride. The European dolce vita is subsidized by America, for Europe simply doesnt spend the money on defense necessary for the West to police the world and allow the global economy that makes Europe rich flourish in the first place. An American withdrawal from NATO might concentrate the E.U. mind wonderfully and induce Europe to shoulder its fair share of the security bill.

Dead. Solid. Perfect.

#3 What's with teh Classics department at CSU Fresno? Isn't that where VDH teaches as well? Hard to believe that many people in raisin land want to speak Latin.

#4 And the 'educated' class forgot why the hell their ancestors left the pit so many generations ago and have been expending massive resources propping the whole mess up. They religiously resurrect some romantic notion about the old country or blood seeking ratification of their existence or 'intelligence' through the past that so many sought to escape.

#5 VDH left CSU a few years ago and settled at the Hoover Institution at Stanford.
