Mission Statement: This blog reviews the news of the day in light of 242 years of American history. "Nationalism," a modern day pejorative, has been our country's politic throughout history, until 2008. Obama changed that narrative. Trump is seeking a return to our historical roots. Midknight Review supports this return to normality.
No wonder Obama returned the Churchill bust BEFORE he moved into the WH, back in 2009. Why he lied about it, who knows.
Misery? Is that why the 8 of the top 10 "happiest countries" in the world are Scandinavian socialist-leaning, the least religious, and have the best education and health care? http://www.cnn.com/2014/03/20/travel/happiest-countries-to-visit/
America by comparison is a third world country ... thanks to regressives like Smithson and his band of ignorant science deniers.
China, Venezuela and Russia are all Marxist/Socialist. Think those people are all happy residents? Socialism "works" when the populations are small, and the citizenry is white or, at least, monochromatic, and highly educated. In a multi-racial society, such as the United States, with a wide range of educational results, socialism does not work. It does not work because it cannot work without repressive government control, such as is seen in China and Russia.
Look at ObamaCare. That is a socialist program, and what a mess it is. Unless it incorporates more capitalistic standards, like free choice, serious tort reform, includes privatized medical industries, free "trade" across state boundaries, and a high regard for the professional we are running out of the country, it will never work.
Your appraisal of America and your existential preference is both arrogant and misinformed. And you are the one with a PhD (another lie, in my opinion).
