“Sophisticated Europe!” Not quite!

If you’ve spent much time talking to Liberals about gun control, you are probably tired of hearing about “sophisicated Europe,” the land of perfection. Socialized medicine, draconian gun control, intrusive law and order, mandated social responsibility and all the other things that we uncouth, barbarian, rednecked, knuckle-dragging, gun-loving, God-clinging Americans “should” aspire to, but don’t, are thrown in your face by the gentle advocates of “Progressive” culture.
Here’s a newsflash! An Associated Press story in the May 14th Denver Post on Page 2A carries the headline, “N. Europe still tops U.S. unwed births.” Oh! But unwed mothers are so cool. You remember the old slogan, ”A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle.” Fine! What has happened in many cases in this country is that either the poor slob of a biological father ends up paying for about two decades of child support, or we the taxpayers foot the bill. I wonder how it works in Europe? Oh! Right! They just take your back teeth in taxes.
British and European Liberals’ desire for control seems to know no bounds. In England, they are collecting kitchen knives. (See my posts under the Category: “Foreign Gun Laws.”) In Germany, following the most recent school shooting, the government wants to ban paintball games. Sooner or later, everyone in Europe except government officials, rich people, and rock stars will be wearing handcuffs or those new shock bracelets that can incapacitate the wearer by remote command.
The other problem with “sophisicated Europe” is that in about one or two generations Europe will be Eurostan, a Muslim suburb. The sophisticated, native Europeans are not having enough babies to maintain their oh-so-cool population levels. Muslim immigrants don’t seem to have that issue. Read Mark Steyn here for a brief discussion of the European population problem.
By the way, during the last century, “sophisicated Europe” spawned two world wars and numerous genocides. Europe seems to be going the way of the Passenger Pigeon. (That’s extinction for recent graduates of public schools where self-esteem is the most important subject.) If we continue to emulate the ways of Socialist Europe with regard to gun control, economics, education, immigration policy, health care, and religion or lack thereof, I am afraid we will follow them in their sad journey toward the death of Western Civilization.
Gun control is just part of a larger pattern, but it is a very important part. What are Liberals planning that is so terrible that they fear armed resistance? Once Liberals turn the West into a dying, Socialist prison camp, who will guard the guards?
