Those very aggressive beggars in Paris
"Tis PJ O'Donovan" wrote in message ... Those very aggressive beggars in Paris http://preview.tinyurl.com/76a4zEvleths "Mike" wrote in message ... news.google.com Between the U.S. and Britain, an ideological parting By Anne Applebaum Tuesday, March 16, 2010; A19 AND WOULD YOU BELIEVE SOMEONE BY THE NAME OF APPLEBAUM HAS CHOSEN, OR BEEN CHOSEN TO POINT OUT THE MISGIVINGS OF A BREAK BETWEEN TWO ALLIES WHOSE ONLY DIFFERENCE AT PRESENT WOULD BE THE EMBARASSING OBEISANCE AND HUMBLE PROTESTATIONS OF OBEDIENCE AND LOYALTY ABOVE AND BEYOND ANY REQUIRED BY A LEADING PARTNER TO A NAUGHTY DEPENDENT. EMPHASISING TO AMERICA AND ENGLAND THEY CAN HOPE FOR NOTHING WITH THEIR WITLESS AND GUTLESS POLITICIANS. Republicans held up the British health-care system as an example of the nightmare that might await America if Obama's health-care proposals were passed. SO STRANGELY ENOUGH WE ARE TAKING ABOUT COMPARISON OF A UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE SYSTEM CARING FOR AL OF THE POPULATION. AND THE REPUDS/JEWISH PARTY'S EFFICENT HEALTH FOR JEWISH AMERICANS AND SOME NON JEWISH AMERICANS NONE FOR THE NON JEWISH 98% OF THE POPULATION WITHOUT SHELLING OUT TO THE JEWISH POPULATION AS MUCH AS THE JEWISH HEALTH SYSTEM CAN SOAK EM FOR AND STILL LEAVE 80% OF THE POPULATION WITH INSUFFICIENT OR NO HEALTH CARE. SO HOW YOU CAN POSSIBLY COME TO THE CONCLUSION NO HEALTH CARE IS GOOD FOR ANYONE BUT THE AFFLUENT MINORITY POPULATION WHO MOST HAVE WHICH HAVE BEEN FORCED INTO TENT LIVING WITH DESTROYED NEST EGGS BY JEWISH DOMINATED BANK AND INSURANCE SYSTEMS TO SUPPORT THE JEWISH ISRAEL SADISTS WHO CANNOT RUN A GOVERNMENT WITHOUT NATIVE BARBARITY WHICH ATAGONISES ALL NON JEWS IN IT'S BARBARIC APARTHEIDIS RACISM AND INJUSTICE. BUT JEWISH INFLUENCE INAMEICA HAS DECIDED TT ISRAEL WOULD BE SUPPORTED TILL IT HURT. AND BUYING OUT OF AMERICAN POLITICIANS WITH AMERICAN AID FUNDS CONTRIBUTING TO THEIR PROBLEMS SEEMS IRONIC. Further evidence that the days of ideological cross-pollination are over can be seen in discussions about education. Many of the troubles of the British state school system sound familiar to American ears: Falling standards, inner-city violence, private schools outperforming their state counterparts, uneven performance in different parts of the country. TEN SHE PUTS SIMILAR PROBLEMS THAT THE WST HAS SOLVED BEFORE WITHOUT THE BREAKUP AND CO-OPERATION SE WOULD HAVE US BELIEVE IS HAPPENING? WHY, TO SUPPORT THAT BREAKUP AND IMPROVE THE STATUS OF WORLDWIDE JEWRY AS THE PROPER RESOLUTION SHE WOULD HAVE US BELIEVE OF THE FALL OF WESTERN UNITY , SO STAND ASIDE AND LET WORD JEWRY TAKE OVER? PERHAPS THERE IS SOMEWHERE PRESIDENTS OF TE CALIBRE IT WOULD TAKE TO MAKE AMERICA A TRUE LEADER AGAIN INSTEAD OF WHAT MOST NOW SEE , AN AMERICAN POODLE KICKED AROUND BY AN ISRAELI MASTWER. LONDON "Two nations, divided by a common language" is how somebody once described Britain and America. "Two nations, divided by a common politics" is another way to put it. Ever since the days of Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan, the political fortunes of the United States and Britain have tracked and reflected one another in odd ways. For many years they moved in tandem: The harmonious center-right union of Thatcher-Reagan was followed by the equally harmonious, if less affectionate, center-left union of Tony Blair and Bill Clinton. But then came Blair-Bush, which worked out rather badly for Blair. Now we have Brown-Obama, who barely speak to each other. And even though in Gordon Brown and Barack Obama we once again have two "center-left" candidates in charge, a distinct lack of harmony characterizes transatlantic political debates. Our health-care conversations, for example, are totally different. This became apparent last year when Republicans held up the British health-care system as an example of the nightmare that might await America if Obama's health-care proposals were passed. British conservatives -- who had been bashing their centralized system for years -- immediately rallied to its defense. David Cameron, the Conservative Party leader who is angling to become prime minister in this spring's election, has even promised to "ring-fence" health care so that it is not affected by future budget cuts. Further evidence that the days of ideological cross-pollination are over can be seen in discussions about education. Many of the troubles of the British state school system sound familiar to American ears: Falling standards, inner-city violence, private schools outperforming their state counterparts, uneven performance in different parts of the country. To combat these ills in the United States, 48 governors have started talking about the voluntary bipartisan creation of "national standards," an idea the Obama administration and its supporters have embraced with enthusiasm, as have many conservative education reformers. This is now the cutting edge of the U.S. education debate: A child's education must not depend "primarily on ZIP code," the low standards of many school districts must be raised, and only concerted action across the nation can fix the problem. But the British already have not only national standards but also a national curriculum and national exams. And it is precisely those curriculums and exams that the British public want to escape. Hence the popular Conservative Party proposal: Liberate state schools from "stifling state control." Allow parents and teachers to start small charter schools from scratch. Let the child's Zip code determine not only the curriculum, in other words, but the nature and philosophy of the school, the size of the classes, the methods of education. Make schools not more alike but more different. Free pupils from pointless exams. I don't want to make too much of these examples: More than anything else, the divergence of our transatlantic debates reflects cultural differences that have always been a lot deeper than they first seem. But they do reflect some transatlantic and even global political changes. Thatcher and Reagan could share a simple and ideologically compatible vision of the world because they had clear ideological opponents: Soviet-style communism abroad, welfare statism at home. In the post-Cold War moment, Blair and Clinton could also share an ideologically compatible goal: Both wanted to bring the old left into the new center. Nothing is nearly so clear anymore, and certainly not in tricky subjects such as education. Is a national math curriculum right- or left-wing? Are smaller class sizes right- or left-wing? In Britain, the Labor Party is identified with standardized testing. In the United States, that honor belongs to the Bush administration. But then any random list of subjects -- Iraq, environmentalism, homeland security -- would produce an equally odd assortment of ideological positions in both countries. President Obama's positions on Afghanistan would be considered "far right" in Britain, yet a percentage of his compatriots consider him a "far left" radical. The old labels are no longer of much use on either side of the Atlantic -- except, of course, to people who prefer their politics in sound bites. They seem to work, some of the time, for the authors of political bestsellers. But as a shorthand for describing the fickle moods of the British and American electorates -- or as a way of explaining the politicians in either country -- forget it. SO STAND BY TO HAND IT ALL TO WORLD JEWRY THE ONLY UNITED FORCE OF ANY ACCOUNT IN THE WORLD TODAY. |
