The Death of Euro-Nationalism

The leaders of Western Europe are crying out and desperately calling for reform, yet they are all but doomed to fail, for five generations of inadequate policies have crippled their grip on cultural supremacy until now the present state of the Euro bloc is destitute by all considerations. Following the Second World War it became commonplace for European nations to encourage multiculturalism as a reparation for their self-disgust over the atrocities of the conflict and the repercussions of their imprint throughout the Middle Eastern and African colonies. Unfortunately that policy has morphed into a far more sinister apparition: the dangerous and unpredictable force of neomulticulturalism, an ideology and joint movement which threaten the very security and endurance of European historical lifestyles.

Neomulticulturalism is a major issue because it eclipses older histories and cultural beliefs through the eradication of everything in a process of concessions aimed at pleasing the incoming ethnic or religious group. In Great Britain, Muslims receive unbelievably great rights despite their general lack of assimilation into the culture. The argument that these individuals come for economic sustainment is flawed owing to the raging numbers of them at the welfare lines even while Britons of similar status work for a living.

Further laws passed in 2006 only inflamed the problem when Tony Blair declared special punishments for inciting racial or religious hate against the large group of Islamic believers in British society. At the same time, mocking the Queen or laying similar blows towards the beliefs of another faith in the country is repirmanded by a slap on the wrist rather than similar consequences.

But the problem is not only resident to the former world empire. Italy's southern coast is becoming steadily more Sunni while the passive culture of the region scrambles to keep up with the sad remains of its once grand roman popularity. Germany is not insulated from this problem either, with guest workers aplent streaming in from Turkey and pushing their own views as a model for the massive Euro economy. And France, ever burned by its image of weakness in the world is now making movements to stricter cultural policies to combat the rising tide of this new ideology.

Grim as the outlook remains, the once dormant eastern bloc countries appear to be awakening to the harsh realities of the modern world at a faster rate than their Old World counterparts. Poland, Georgia, and Serbia have all announced policies to end the give none, take all attitude that has brought the other nations to a dramatic error in the present day. Even in Russia, the authorities have put forward direct agreement with the coming change of views following a string of crippling terrorist strikes.

One must still ask however, what is to become of Great Britain following its years of allowance with little request? Were it not for the royalist history and the regalia of the Monarchy, its is unlikely the country would be farther away from this approaching condition. Indeed, nothing short of mass deportations (which are doomed to little success) or an ethnic cleansing (which would be immoral), would be required to give it hope for pluralistic survival.

Western Europe is lost; and so the rest of the world must avoid a similar pattern in their own nations.

Economic Mayhem: Part II

In recent hours, the Obama Administration announced its plans for a new fiscal blitz against the wavering economy with a carefully labeled "economic plan." Quick to respond after reporters attempted to place the new attempt into the same category as the Administration's earlier stimulus package, the President furiously insisted on giving it the precautionary tag of the aforementioned plan, hoping to avoid a parallel comparison with his all but universally loathed  "cures" for our nation's monetary and fiscal problems.

Whether Barack Obama employs more rhetoric or even none at really is irrelevant at the point in history, and will not truly help us save us from the pitfall of an extended or double dipped recession within our economy. It is not that any members of the current majority government honestly feel or can prove the future benefits of the first and now proposed second stimulus; rather, they know the prior attempt was all a worthless facade, and the second will mirror its same classifications.

No, the Administration and the Congress is tying everything to the hated word of Capitol Hill, the binding fragment that should not inhabit the minds of our leaders as they make decisions,l yet is all too present in our present state of governance: political ideology. Even in its most mild form, the sensation has so passionately seized hold of the Democratic Party and the President that it now threatens to become the key ticket to both of their downfalls in this fresh decade.

What must be understood in explaining this is that the top dogs of the Democratic Leadership, most notably Nancy Pelosi and Charles Schumer, ran in 2006 and 2008 not with a European-style social democratic platform, but with a more moderate, fix Washington strategy. Americans were less appreciative of the Democrats than simply angry at the Republicans, and without too much difficulty, the center-leftist party coasted to an admirable victory, capturing both houses and inflicting several humiliating defeats on the incumbent Republicans. Two years later in 2008, the Democrats tried to play the same card, interrupted only by the presence of a somewhat annoying presidential candidate who was convinced that mass appeal was his ticket to the Whitehouse. He went from closing Guantanamo Bay, to fixing the economy, to trying terrorists in America,  with a touch of everything to please the unsatisfiable populace, and came out on top.

Now President Obama and his party's leaders are struggling to cover for the unrealistic policies which he foolishly proposed in order to win the 2008 election. After all the fundraising and claims of future prosperity, his government is boiling down to an atrocious mix of braggart ways and projected, not sincere, leadership.

With his latest gambit being a second stimulus package, even the President knows his plans will not work, but he is fixated about the historical view of his ideology. Did he stick his guns as a social democrat, or dispel Keynesian philosophy for fundamentalist common sense? Truth unveiled, Barack Obama cannot stand the notion of his ideology being publicly versed as ineffective a wrong. His type of persona will always object, arguing long after his presidency that "too much obstructionism was involved," and that "the time was not right" for his plans to reach positive fruition.

Despite the endless sentences of jargon we will be forced to endure both in defense of this new package and afterwards, good men must push on for beneficial additions to help the economy. As the National Alliance Foundation has made clear, the key to recovery is not in more government, or in breaks only for corporations, but in the restarting of the small business community to provide jobs and opportunity to the commonwealth. Entrepreneurs, armed with a restructured policy that aims to eliminate business income tax and hands out credits for companies who invest in domestically produced products will boost our state of fiscal stability to a healthy zone of general success in the near future.

If President Obama desires to mend his image with the voters, then he must shift his range of vision to focus on helping businesses survive, not in paying off union members with large checks from the taxpayer's pocket. In fact, it would be far wiser to simply give the money to businesses through loans and to state and local governments. Federal programs are known for their ineptitude and poor results, verse the wiser actions of councilors and delegates closer to the public.

Our recovery from this recession will not come from the government; it shall be made up of the efforts and bravery of the small business community, which is the heart and soul of the American People.
