Must be. "Hail to the Chief" is played wherever he speaks.






Are you trying to make Fat Harry weep like a snowflake?



Just paying respect to *his* president.




Fat Harry is so mad at his president that he would defect to a
comunist or socialist country if his lady love would foot the
bill.



My now-retired Norwegian buddy, who worked 20 years in the oil
drilling and production business and as a union rep and who was
retrained as a teacher at government expense after suffering a
serious work-related injury, just sent me an email telling me his
twin grandkids are starting their college careers soon at the
Norwegian Institute of Science and Technology, tuition-free.

Perhaps you don't know any more about those Nordic countries than
you do about our govenment here. Here's a bit from Wiki:

The Nordic model (also called Nordic capitalism or Nordic social
democracy)refers to the economic and social policies common to the
Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Norway, Iceland, the Faroe
Islands and Sweden). This includes a combination of free market
capitalism with a comprehensive welfare state and collective
bargaining at the national level with a high percentage of workers
belonging to a labour union; and state provision of free education
and free healthcare as well as generous, guaranteed pension
payments for retirees funded by taxation.

Although there are significant differences among the Nordic
countries, they all share some common traits. These include
support for a "universalist" welfare state aimed specifically at
enhancing individual autonomy and promoting social mobility; a
corporatist system involving a tripartite arrangement where
representatives of labor and employers negotiate wages and labor
market policy mediated by the government;and a commitment to
widespread private ownership, free markets and free trade.

The country has the fourth-highest per capita income in the world
on the World Bank and IMF lists. On the CIA's GDP (PPP) per capita
list (2015 estimate) which includes autonomous territories and
regions, Norway ranks as number eleven. It has the world's largest
sovereign wealth fund, with a value of USD 1 trillion. Norway has
had the highest Human Development Index ranking in the world since
2009, a position also held previously between 2001 and 2006. It
also has the highest inequality-adjusted ranking. Norway ranks
first on the World Happiness Report,the OECD Better Life Index,
the Index of Public Integrity, and the Democracy Index. Norway
also has one of the lowest crime rates in the world.

My buddy has a nice house, a good pension, and top of the line
health care. 21st Century socialism works nicely.



You should apply for asylum in Norway however take note that their
standards for permanent residence have been tightened.




Yeah, I know how it grates on you righties that other countries are
doing a lot better than the dis-United States...


The USA is not Norway nor is it like any other country on the planet.

Ask your buddy how the older Norwegians still alive today how they felt
about being occupied by Germany starting in 1940 and lasting
throughout the rest of WWII. Ask them how they felt about receiving
$400M in USA aid to help recover from the war.

Then tell me about how awful the USA is.



I suspect that if we didn't have a large ocean separating us from
Europe, we, too, would have been at least partially occupied by
Germany for some time.

WWII has been over for more than 70 years. Most Norwegians who
remember the German occupation are likely pushing up daisies or
tulips, as are all the Southerners in this country who remember the
Civil War.

The point is, Norway and Norwegians are doing quite well and have less
worries about their jobs, their health, the ability to educate their
kids, and their retirements than Americans.


So? Move.




Perhaps a more realistic solution is to improve the quality of life for
all people here with better jobs, better income security, better health
care, and better retirement, and not worry so much about how well the
really wealthy are doing.




A more reasonable aproach would be to get rid of leeches like Fat
Harry Krause.


The socialist countries of Europe have very stringent immigration laws.

I am afraid we are stuck with him. :-)





What about Costa Rica? I heard him speaking favorably about those
chica girls.



He said he was thinking of moving there when Bush beat Gore.

I guess promises just can't be met.

Which Norwegian cities have 'downtowns' similar to Chicago, St. Louis, etc.?

If it’s really such a great deal then you should take Richards advice and move over there. I surprised the place isn’t packed tight already!


He would never pass their immigration standards.
