Neo-Con Fascist Mark Steyn: ''Obama Plans to Turn America into BIG SWEDEN'' - on Faux News' Hannity



"We're not quite the full Sweden yet, but we basically are spending like Europeans, but we're not taxed like that. And the idea that you can close that gap, I think he figures out, if he can make this level of spending permanent, he changes the United States into a European social democracy and he'll be the most consequential president of the last hundred years,"

Faux News (also known as Fox Noise & Goebbels Nazi Propaganda) is a comedy network for gullible Republicans, white trash, bitches, and 13-year-old boys. Of course, one could argue that Fox News is really just a huge troll, but it's unlikely, seeing as they take everything so seriously, as evidenced by the fact that Fox is one of the biggest sources of drama. Countless blogs and political commentary websites erupt into debate over the latest musings of Sean Hannity or that shemale Ann Coulter featured on the network.

In Sweden and the other Scandinavian countries they have universal health care, free child care, free education, among other things. Have you ever wondered why we don't see thousands of desperate Swedes trying to sneak into the United States? It's probably because they really like living in Sweden, and know there's nothing here that's better than what they already have there.

Seriously, this is what they are reduced to? Complaining we could become like Sweden? I am more worried we will become more like I dunno some country where we are 40th in how healthy the people in this nation are.

Obama has been president for for years. They have been telling them all these things Obama is going to do, people are going to start noticing that not only is Obama not doing these things, he's not doing anything close to it.

You mean a country that had 5 percent economic growth in 2011, a balanced budget, and universal health care, dental care, and education for all citizens?

How can Swedes even get up out of bed in the morning? If everything said on Faux News was true, the country would not even have an economy.

Gomer??!!??

If anyone needed further proof that Sean Hannity's show on Fox "news" is a complete clown show, here you go. After complaining about House Speaker John Boehner stripping some of these "tea partiers" from their committee assignments and even the possibility of him negotiating with President Obama over this so-called "fiscal cliff," guest Mark Steyn called Rep. Louie Gohmert "one of the few serious people in Congress."

Louie Gohmert.... terror babies Louie Gohmert.

Here's more of the recent insanity that's come out of that man's mouth in case anyone's forgotten.

If that is the worst Obama can do to US.. then go for it Mr President.. I have never really heard any from sweden complain about the level of public services they can get if they are in need of anything.. And they have a welfare that I doubt any americans could even dream about in their wildest dreams...

By the way - the other country from the big picture Mr Harmann have - west of Sweden, is Norway

by having a military base in Germany.

Sweden is in fact cleaning up the USA's mess in Afghanistan and Iraq by taking in huge numbers of asylum seekers--- for just a tiny sparsely populated country, Sweden is taking in exponentially more asylum immigrants than the USA is per capita. He conveniently forgets to mention that.
