god willing.

Well, the absolute mess made of everything from health care to our infrastructure to two badly run wars, one of which wasn't even needed, is proof we can do without Republicans.
Senator Ted Steven's guilty verdict is just more proof the Republican's don't deserve power.

Amazing that of the seven things of which the WSJ is certain, six or seven of them will likely never come to pass.

The WSJ sounds more like Fox News every day. Murdoch said he wasn't going to make big changes in editorial policy. Right.

Europe is neat. I'm all for becoming Europe.

Actually the "European" system exists in Japan, Australia, Canada, too.

IOW the "European" system they are wailing about is the system the whole industrialized world has, except for USA pretty much.

It's called social democracy, maybe you
ve heard of it? NAtionalized health care, free college tuition, more distributionist taxes, but still basically (a) capitalist and (b) democratic.

So yeah let's please cop to this I am very tired of wussy liberals running away from what they really believe in, yes, we're for Europeanizing America and Japanizing it and fuck yeah we're going to have their kind of national health care soon.

In other words, WSJ is correct and our answer should be fuckin' A!

oh noz, we're going to be SWEDEN! heaven forfend!

Could someone explain why an open ballot is pro-union? I guess it allows the union organizers to pressure people into voting for them, but it seems like the inverse is also true, that business owners can use those votes against their employees.

Damn Sweden with its....uh....happy, educated, healthy, well-off people.

WTF THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH SWEDEN?! WHY DO THEY HATE FREEDOM?!? AND MONEY?!? WHYYYYYYY?!?! PLEASE DON'T LET US GET LIKE THAT!

@8, excactly correct about voting for Unions, big business wants to know which of it's employees are trying to unionize.

But, I love how the WSJ does not substantiate a single claim they make.

@9: and its pretty pretty soccer players, of which one of my favorites is looking likely to be playing here in the spring.

Europeanization is the new Africanization.

Uhm, not to be an annoyance, but in the Netherlands healthcare has been largely privatized (not really an improvement so far), college fees are up, unemployment benefits are down... It used to be a social democracy, but it's been dismantled pretty much over the last 10 to 15 years. Other european countries are following suit.
So... Europeans are complaining that things are "Americanizing", Americans are afraid that they will be Europeanized?

Gimme a break.
