					<description><![CDATA[&quot;Today the dangerous Muslims are the poor Muslims invading the West. They are far more dangerous than the rich, lazy Muslims living on oil rents.&quot;

NO, it is the radical Leftist I.E. Democrats within our own government who have ushered both radical Islam and our neighbors from the South into the country unvetted as a part of the Globalist agenda who have confiscated the peoples tax money that pays for them all to becoming established in the culture of dependency country.

It is the Democrat party and the RINO Republicans that have literally sold the country out in order that they remain in political power and control, and this political practicality serves the agenda of Americas natural enemies CCP China and Russia.

That is the more full spectrum view of what is underway today in American politics.]]></description>

Today the dangerous Muslims are the poor Muslims invading the West.  They are far more dangerous than the rich, lazy Muslims living on oil rents.

The Chinese back on bicycles is hopelessly wishful thinking.  They&#039;ve caught the West in most fields of tech.  And most of that catch-up happened in 50 years.  Nor has their success yet led to delusional projects like civilizing Middle Eastern countries by force or the cult of diversity or transgender mutilations of their children.  They are saner and more diligent and, on average, more intelligent than Westerners at the present time.  It would seem that Mercanto-Leninism &#062; Bio-Leninism.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Jeff Wright,

Islam is dangerous pretty much only when it has money.  For centuries after its founding, it had money because its lands lay athwart the Silk Road.  Then the Age of Discovery put the Silk Road out of business and Islam ceased being very important until oil and gas became sources of wealth.  Oil will diminish in importance in coming decades and Islam will diminish along with it.

As for the rest, the Russians never stopped being drunks, China will be back on bicycles before mid-century and only smoking on planes will fail to make a comeback.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The Chinese aren&#039;t dumb--if anything, they refuse to put up with nonsense America has.

After 9/11, nearly a quarter of a century ago, there was a realization of Islam&#039;s threat.

Where Dubya invaded the wrong country, China did what many here called for but didn&#039;t have the stomach to do.

Again--I miss the (earlier phase of the) Cold War, when China was on bicycles, the Russians were drunks, and we even smoked on planes.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Why do you think the teacher&#039;s union&#039;s dominated by Democrats and their political machine wants absolute control over what is taught to young children in schools?

They are there to teach children what to think, not how to think.

Two very different things.

Communists in particular and Socialists indoctrinate, and they have no need for freedom of thought, there will be compliance.

It is just soooo much easier.]]></description>
