I’ve always felt uncomfortable with people blindly following a leader. The Obamaniacs are no exception. A lot of them have rashly followed Obama and created some sort of idolizing cult surrounding him. But believe me, the difference between reality and myth has never been greater.
Those of you who believe he will dramatically change the US [...]

Chavez Revolution Halted
Posted in America, Scandinavia, tagged Communism, Economics, Hugo Chavez, Norway, Oil, Venezuela on December 6, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Iceland is sinking (?) and the US is going bankrupt, but nothing bad that doesn’t bring something good with it, as we say in Sweden. Thanks to the upcoming (?) recession/depression, oil prices are bottom low. This does of course in the long run also affect the countries whose public revenues rest heavily upon the [...]
Sten Nordin goes Keynesian
Posted in America, Scandinavia, tagged Economics, Keynes, Keynesian economics, Moderaterna, Politics, Sweden on December 5, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Keynesian economics seems to be the hottest thing since sliced bread right now even though it’s best-before date is long gone. In Sweden, along with almost all other “Capitalist” countries in the world, this current trend is taking over the hearts (and brains and judgments?) of politicians and policy makers. Even the Swedish Liberal-Conservative *sigh* [...]
Dollar or euro?
Posted in America, Scandinavia, tagged Dollar, EU, Euro, Iceland, Politics on November 30, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
With their economy collapsing in what will be remembered as the first financial collapse in a western democratic country since the 1930s, the Icelanders now face the delicate question whether to adapt the EU euro or the US dollar. Never before has the public opinion polls showed such a staunch support for dropping their own [...]
The truth about Thanksgiving …
Posted in America, tagged Black Friday, History, Indians, Johan Norberg, Mayflower, Nationalism, Politics, Thanksgiving on November 28, 2008 | 3 Comments »
I really like Johan Norberg and what he writes. I’m such a huge fan that if I was a girl and 10 years younger a poster with his face on would so be nailed to my wall. But this time he is – sadly – wrong.
He states on his homepage that the Thanksgiving tradition “is [...]
Palin made a funny

Where does Thanks Giving dinner come from? Finally, you now know the answer!
Now, for all of you who does not live in the country of the free and brave, Thanks Giving is an American tradition that the white people overseas are celebrating in the commemoration of the genocide of the American [...]
What is wrong with GOP?
Posted in America, tagged George W. Bush, GOP, low taxes, minimal government, noninterventionism, Peace, Politics, Republicans on November 9, 2008 | 4 Comments »
Why has the Grand Ol’ Party lost its ways? Take Ron Paul for instance. He was demanded off the stage by some of the frontrunners of the Republican Party because they thought of him as “not being Republican enough”. It’s ridiculous and an outrage! That is true, if you look up the ACTUAL definition of [...]
Financial crisis to bring back Grunge
Posted in America, Scandinavia, tagged Courtney Love, financial crisis, flea markets, Grunge, Iceland, Kurt Cobain, Music, Politics on November 8, 2008 | 11 Comments »
Grunge is a marketing term for ‘when rock and punk converge and clothing companies make a **** load of money selling impressionable kids crappy clothes’. In the beginning of the 90s this style was THE fashion, with famous followers such as Kurt Cobain and the guys in Soundgarden and Pearl Jam. Truly awesome music, but, [...]

I feel that I have to treat last post at greater length. First of all, I am not a pacifist (as Lennon was). I believe that sometimes wars can be justified, but only if we are being attacked ourselves and/or it is in our own interest to take to action. I do not believe it [...]
War is not the answer …

War is not the answer to free man from the evils in our world. I have come to understand that. I’ve seen and understood the emergence of principles that only give lip service to free-market principles and “limited government” ideas, but whose first priority, for which it is willing to sacrifice anything else, is military [...]
Is Ron Paul an Isolationist?
Posted in America, tagged Libertarianism, Conservatism, Ron Paul, non-interventionism, isolationism on November 2, 2008 | 11 Comments »
This video addresses the difference between a non-interventionist view and isolationist policies. In short, you could say that if you are against both political AND economic alliances and international relations you are an isolationist. There has been some examples in the world, and Imperial China and Japan are among the best [...]
Icelanders lived beyond their means …

Icelanders are not terrorists; they are inconsiderate big pocket- spenders (*). Just a generation ago, the most common cuisine was fish, fish, and fish together with some sheep head. Now – or at least until this year- the Icelandic people chew on golden geese. The Icelanders are now looking for someone to blame for their [...]
