"World turn Right, we turn Left, all join hands and dosado,
World look up, we look down, that's where we go,
Now grab your partner, swing around and dosodo"
You young'uns may never have been to a Square Dance. Try it. You might like it. It's early Rap where the audience dances in response to the Rap. At least Google it so you will know what dosado is.
Europe is coming into their election season now.
Germany moves Right. Merkel's conservative Christian Democrat party is leading the Social Democrats.
France moves Right. Sarkozy's conservative UMP party is leading in the polls, ahead of the Socialist Party.
Italy moves Right. Berlusconi's Freedom Peoples Party has a 2 digit lead over the Center Left opponent.
Britain's Labour Party is in deep doodoo, (not to be confused with dosado). They are given little chance in the next general election.
Greece and Portugal are leaning Left, but neither is exactly a great world power.
So that's Europe. Europeans were rebelling against what their Socialistic governments had wrought when they elected Merkel and Sarkozy. It's encouraging to see the trend continue.
Then there's China. When Hong Kong reverted to China the nation turned from pure Communism, which is nothing more than ultimate Socialism, to Capitalism, albeit with a heavy governmental hand. From Marxist Communism to Capitalism and look what happened , wow!
Now the Russian press is laughing at us in print exclaiming that while they have finally recognized Marxism as a miserable failure the US is racing at breakneck speed toward it.
Eastern Europe gets little attention. If you know anyone who lived there under Marxist Communism ask them what they thought about it. Expect a bitter denouncement.
Other nations have learned their lessons and are moving Right. We take our freedoms and prosperity for granted and move Left.
