How can anyone say that Scandinavia is successful? Do they have nuclear weapons and hundreds of overseas bases? Any foreign wars to bolster corporate profits and employ the riffraff? Do they have a prison-industrial complex second to none? Do their wealthy CEOs earn 400 times more than their workers?
Scandinavians can only look on with envy
The Pope - how many divisions does he have?
- Joeseph Stalin, when advised that it might be prudent to respect the power of the Vatican

At that's just the big picture - let's not forget everyday life out in Flyoverland. The Euroweenies drive these wimpy little gay cars rather than SUVs, or even worse, have to ride the train to work. They don't have NASCAR and Monday night football. Do they have low everyday prices at Wal-Mart? Do they have 4th of July barbecues? The Superbowl? I'll bet they don't even weigh half as much as Americans.
Everything is bigger in America
Scandinavia is a failure. But let them have their windmills and vegen "meals." Meanwhile, in the USA we'll be gorging on supersize meals and burning Iraqi oil by the shipload. At least, those of us who have a job will. For the unfortunate majority living in their cars and tents, hey, there's always religion and alcohol to take away winter's chill.
