EUROPEAN DREAM

Charles Bremer writes:

Reluctantly, some intellectuals have lately concluded that the model for Europe should be the US. On Tuesday a writer for Libération, the French left-wing daily, noted that immigrants in the US threw themselves into “the American dream” and prospered. “There is no French, Dutch or other European dream,” she noted. “You emigrate here to escape poverty and nothing more."

Hey, unfair! There's a German dream, as David Kaspar reported last month:

ZDF, one of the two German public tv channels, secretly made a film in a Berlin mosque. And this is what the preacher said:

"These Germans, these atheists, these Europeans don't shave under their arms and their sweat collects under their hair with a revolting smell and they stink. Hell lives for the infidels! Down with all democracies and all democrats!"

Down with all democracies. Dream on!
