Trash away! Those of us conservatives have long wondered what your fascination was with them. We have not been impressed with them. Well, I'd be a fool to claim the left was always right and the right was always wrong.

Just another dirty old billionaire...Is this what passes for "success" in the modern West?

www.euronews.net/2011/02/04/mubarak-reference-point-berlusconi/"Berlusconi said: “Egypt can have a transition towards a more democratic system without a break from a president like Mubarak. In the West, above all in the US, he has always been considered the wisest of men, and a reference point for the whole Middle East.” Crypto-fascist Berlusconi chimes in...

Mrs Merkel added: "Early elections at the beginning of the democratization process is probably the wrong approach." Two more pieces of Eurotrash chime in on The Butcher of Cairo's side...

www.nytimes.com/2011/02/06/world/europe/06britain.html?_r=1&hp"Similar warnings about multiculturalism have been sounded by Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany and by President Nicolas Sarkozy of France. But, if anything, Mr. Cameron went further. He called on European governments to practice “a lot less of the passive tolerance of recent years and much more active, muscular liberalism,” and said Britain would no longer give official patronage to Muslim groups that had been “showered with public money despite doing little to combat terrorism.” And Europeans have called America racist....

Doesn't sound racist. It is more of not giving them MORE priveleges than other people, i.e. showereing them with extra public money, etc. for nothing in return.

www.economist.com/blogs/newsbook/2011/02/silvio_berlusconis_legal_troubles"Mr Berlusconi is accused of buying the services of a juvenile prostitute and then of trying to hide the fact by taking illegal advantage of his position. The two offences carry maximum sentences of, respectively, three and 12 years in prison." God, it would make my day, week, and year to see this dirtbag incarcerated. Billionaires Behind Bars...sounds like a good reality TV program!

A billionaire behind bars? What was I thinking? Everyone know there are two separate and unequal justice systems in the world: One for the rich and a much harsher one for the poor...

What the heck is "muscular liberalism", anyway? This guy is a kook. It is FORCE! Something that Obama was trying to exert when he had the majorities in Congress. Ironically, it was their liberalism that opened the borders to the mass immigration and liberal funding the immigrants received. Something we still have going on here....no lessons learned! Thus I find that muscular liberalism is a misdirected term as its intentions appear to be counter to each other. The "muscular" is to stop what the "liberalism" has allowed.

We are liberals because we have spent our life avoiding "muscular" people!

THE ART OF CORRUPTION www.latimes.com/entertainment/news/la-ca-culture-exchange-20110220,0,5568374.story "The news sent shock waves through the art world, which operates on credibility and trust. "Until now people in the business wouldn't say anything because the Wildenstein family is so powerful," said one Paris gallery owner, who wanted to remain anonymous. "If you wanted a painting authenticated you often took it to them. Plus, they had influence. I can see a lot of personal scores being settled in the next few months." "Guy Wildenstein certainly counts friends in high places; President Nicolas Sarkozy, whose ruling center-right UMP party Wildenstein co-founded, calls him "mon ami Guy" and gave him the prestigious Legion d'Honneur, and Prince Charles is godfather to one of his children." "Lawyer Dumont-Beghi, who has spent seven years on the trail of the Wildenstein fortune, is skeptical. "They [the Wildensteins] know they're in a lot of deep trouble. They thought they controlled the art world because they were so powerful. They thought they had political friends in high places and were protected by Sarkozy. They thought they were above all this. Now the world is exploding around their ears," she told The Times."

www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-12612405"Over the years Mr Berlusconi has paid a political price for his closeness to Col Gaddafi. But he has claimed that Italy and the West would benefit from his nurturing of a rogue state back into the international community." Plus they are birds of a feather: corrupt billionaires.
