Lonewolf Diaries: Europe Sucks. There, I Said It.

by Steven Crowder

Yes, you heard me. “Screw Europe,” I say to you. With all of this “repairing of international relations” going on, the press (along with every “Green Day Liberal” in the Western hemisphere) seem to be getting quite giddy. Finally we’ll be more like the Europeans and maybe, just maybe, that will allow us to be on better footing with them. To all of you I ask… Why?

Why on EARTH would the United States ever want to be more like Europe? Correct me if I’m wrong, but we left, did we not? Not only did we leave that older, lesser world behind, but we left skid-marks along the way with an entire continent eating our proverbial dust. Those were good times… Not to mention the asskickery that followed suit.

‘Pitchmen’: A Celebration of American Capitalism

Every day it seems as though more and more Americans have been programmed to automatically resent the success of others. Much of this has to do with how effective Democrats and their allies in the media, academia and Hollywood have been at demonizing the wealthy, especially those in corporate America. Whether it’s Wal-Mart, pharmaceutical companies, oil, timber or high finance, these industries who have done so much to improve our way of life have, at various times, been singled out for the worst kind of character assassination.

And it’s worked, but when a corrupted pop culture is your only reference point, how could it not?

This is what makes the Discovery Channel’s new show “Pitchmen,” so special and worth a look. Not only is it entertaining and well produced, but it’s also the rare celebration of the American entrepreneurial spirit combined with the added bonus of doing one of my favorite things: “Pitchmen” takes you into a universe you know nothing about - direct response marketing – and shows you how the gears turn.
