President Obama was disappointed that the Olympic Committee decided not to choose Chicago as the venue for the 2016 Olympics. As President Obama was formerly a successful “community organizer” in Chicago, this defeat must have been especially disappointing. Part of the reason that Chicago may not have been selected is due to how Violence has stricken much of the city. Just a couple of days ago a Chicago student videotaped a murder of an honor student. http://www.csmonitor.com/2009/0929/p02s01-usgn.html (As a side note, it seems to be especially dangers to be a Black honor student. In the stories linked below, all the victims happened to be honor students.) http://www.smmirror.com/volume3/issue23/samohi_honor_student.asp http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article/article?f=/c/a/2005/09/27/BAG4OEUD661.DTL http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P1-79459073.html http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/2009/01/26/2009-01-26_progun_senatordesignate_gillibrand_shoul.html Link to raw video: http://www.myfox
Maybe it is the strong sense of individual National identity that is presently pushing many European Nationalist organizations ahead of their American counterparts.
ReplyDeleteIncredibly, this is happening in Europe where free speech is often an imprisonable offense - without the freedom you have in the USA.
The interviewer is interesting. She wants to bring non Jewish nationalist conventions to Israel, which is actually promoting multiculturalism. Doing that would essentially downgrade Israel (a very nationalist country, and to be respected for that) down to the level of limp wristed, multicultural Europe.
ReplyDeleteDoing so is not moving European countries to a more identitarian policy, simply degrading Israel's nationalism. That's important, because nationalism needs to be a constructive and not a destructive force.
