What is wrong with GOP? 2008-11-09 09:00:29 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 [...]
Communism = fun 2008-11-08 09:44:23 There are three errors in this photography of Kim Jong-Il of North Korea (who is, hopefully, stonedead by now). Find them, and you win a .. something something …

Sweden defeated the Soviet Union 2008-11-07 09:15:58 … in hockey. In spring 1987, Sweden
became World Champions in Hockey for the first time in 25 years. This was something huge back then. Since the Swedish victory in 1962, the SovietUnion
had totally dominated world hockey together with the Czech Republic and a short intermission with the US. The message was clear. [...]
Lack of capitalism causes pollution, corruption, and badly delivered services 2008-11-07 07:42:05 About half a year ago, I was at a meeting with the Nordic Association in Öland, a thin outstretched island east of Sweden in the Baltic ocean. It was a great trip and we had a lot of fun. We got paid to get there and we were able to freely choose our way of [...] Read more:causes
Obama the President … 2008-11-06 15:19:12 Yes, he obviously could! Barack Hussein Obama
became the 44th President
of the United States of America. Congratulations, Mr. President. You’ve won! Now stay out of my life, if you may. So what will the new president need to do to dig his nation out this sticky economic mess? Fingers crossed (or thumbs hold, [...]
War is not the answer II … 2008-11-06 14:14:35 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 [...] Read more:answer
War is not the answer … 2008-11-05 21:12:22 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? 2008-11-02 05:42:32 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 examples, but Ron Paul

Icelanders lived beyond their means … 2008-11-01 22:01:52 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 [...] Read more:beyond

The Time for Liberty 2008-11-01 00:22:33 I let it speak for itself … The LP’s Election video. But God does their candidate look dorky. His record isn’t really libertarian either, more like Conservative and warmonger. He is more like a “famous” (obviously) face the small party tries to endorse in order to get into the White House.
I would have liked to [...]
People hating Starbucks are … 2008-10-31 14:55:22 … morons. You got it. They are hypocrites and morons, all of those bashing big corporations only for the reason they’re big and successful. Starbucks
is a great example of how a small businessman gave the public what they wanted, got successful, and became rich in the process. It started as a small kiosk in [...]
Will the Republican party implode? 2008-10-31 13:47:46 So, where are we now? We’re about to witness something historical. The USA will get their first black President (as if that would matter a thing, I’m feeling silly even for mentioning this fact) and the Reps. will not only loose the House (they already did that) but also the President post.
Do I think the [...] Read more:Republican
Why sane Libertarians consider religious Conservatives to be morons 2008-10-30 10:03:11 Bill Maher is a Libertarian and a stand-up comedian. He’s so right on point on this one. America - together with other former colonies *cough Australia cough cough* is a (quote) young and dumb country (end quote) and they have so many people believing that the world is a pancake and the moon is made [...] Read more:Conservatives

Palin is a joke 2008-10-30 09:16:38 First I didn’t know anything about her and I thought of her being a fresh wind in the political nobility top. Then I found out a little bit more about her and…well ..I don’t know. Sure she’s folksy and popular but take a closer look on her political agenda. I mean it’s awful. We live [...]
Geysergate 2008-10-29 15:05:27 The tale of the mystery letter …
Did Alistair Darling read this letter?
If he did not - why did he lie about it? What reasons did he have?
Icelanders are NOT terrorists 2008-10-29 14:55:38 I’m back in Oslo. Apart from being extremely tired (my plane left Keflavik at 7.45 am GMT) I’m also sad for leaving the island. It’s a neat place with nice and friendly people. The country is extraordinary in its shape and the nature one of a kind. Although they have some problems at the moment, [...]
It’s an amazing global world 2008-10-27 08:42:32 I just think the world is extraordinary. I mean get this - there are two visitors on my page seperated apart by great distances and they have a discussion about their differences and similarities. One is from the States and the other from Australia. They are debating economy and politics on a blog whose owner [...]
Louis CK “Everything’s amazing, nobody’s happy” 2008-10-25 14:00:13 Louis C K was visiting Conan O’Brian some weeks ago talking about that we might need some of the problems with our economy that we have now.
I think he’s on to something here. This is extremely apparent when it comes to Iceland, a country that has turned from being a poor icy rock in the [...] Read more:Everything

Rolf K. Nilsson philosophies … 2008-10-23 10:31:22 “Somewhere in the misty frontiers of politics, the extreme left-wing is able to shake hands with the Anarcho-Capitalists and the Libertarians, smoke some weed, and agree on that the old world was a pretty dull fraudulent place … ” //Rolf K. Nilsson

While I’m writing this in a civilized manner, extreme groups on the far left and the extreme-authoritarian right clash together in Lund, southern Sweden, in a not-so-civilized way. Sweden of today is, thanks to socialism in combination with mass immigration (an, of course, impossible mix), a hot Read more:Swedish
Dollar or euro? 2008-11-30 06:37:58 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 [...] Read more:Dollar
Blame Reinfeldt 2008-11-29 20:27:18 A young man was brought to justice the other day in Gothenburg, Sweden. He is accused of attempted robbery and performed robbery. The culprit attacked his victims when they were using the ATMs threatening them with a butterfly knife. After the robbery the culprit apparently said that he did this only because of the Swedish [...] Read more:Blame

The truth about Thanksgiving … 2008-11-27 19:02:17 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 [...]
We are all socialists now, comrade … 2008-11-27 17:20:48 As it said in the British newspaper Telegraph the day after the Government bail-out in the UK;
“We are all socialists now, comrade!”
Feels like a world epidemic …
Awful week ahead … 2008-11-24 16:36:12 OK, I know I suck. I haven’t been uploading anything important in half a week soon. Thing is that I have been to a conference meeting with the Nordic Association’s Youth Party in Sweden (which I am a member of the board in) and today I had an oral exam in Economic-History. Tomorrow I go [...] Read more:ahead
Conferencing 2008-11-22 07:48:13 I’m on a conference with the Nordic Association in Stockholm right now. I’m not allowed to blog but I do it anyway. I’m such a loose canon.
Commitment and engagement is fun but tiring … I hope it will bear fruit one day *crossing my fingers/holding my thumbs*

Palin made a funny 2008-11-21 06:34:07 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 Natives living there first. [...]
Sweden is an immoral country 2008-11-21 05:58:07 It was back on the night of October 6th, 2007 when the boys, along with four other youths, entered the man’s farm armed with weapons. The 51-year-old’s family had been subjected to threats and taunts from the same teens for nearly two years and his son had been bullied and beaten down several times by [...] Read more:Sweden
