Your memory of the Bush years is sure different than mine. My
recollection is the first things he did after getting in office was the
no child socialist program and the prescription drug program, 100%
socialism. And he crossed the aisle to join up with Ted the Swimmer to
do it.
After that 90% of his efforts were directed at
invading Iraq. I was against that because I knew it would be another
Vietnam; the US wins and the Democrats give it back to the enemy as soon
as they get control. And that is exactly what happened.
And the best Republican President after WWII is RR even if he wasn't perfect. Perfect would be silent Cal.

Posted by: Mr. Peebles at July 16, 2016 08:19 AM (+wjl1)"
The story behind Handmaid's Tale is that some college in Alabama had Margaret Atwood as a writer in residence and she repaid their generosity by writing that book. Apparently Ms.Atwood was quite dismayed by the cultural difference between Canada and Alabama.
In The Handmaid's Tale, the protagonist's husband was killed and she was captured when they were trying to flee to freedom in Canada. My word but Canadians are insufferable, self righteous, arrogant little shits. Some day they will go too far and we will send the Michigan National Guard to conquer their country as a weekend training exercise.

I don't see that happening. Here's why:
If you consider all the regions of the world in terms of wealth and security and list them from best to worst, the United States (and similar societies such as Canada) would be on top. Sub-Saharan Africa would be on the bottom. Those high on the list generally enjoy an advanced civilization and high degrees of political, economic and personal freedom. All of the regions on your list are improving - "developing" and "emerging" are favorite terms, and not just in terms of their abilities to buy stuff. Although there are setbacks her and there, the world as a whole, is continually getting better.
With one exception: the Islamic Middle East.
When Sub-Saharan Africa overtakes the Islamic world in wealth and overall happiness and begins to prosper, Middle Easterners will start to seriously question why they're so miserable. When that happens, the old way in that region will fundamentally begin to change and Islam as we know it now will change with it.

Not really, no. My understanding is that Islamic brought an improvement of civilization and prosperity wherever it went for the first 500 years.
(The Crusades and the invasion of southern Europe notwithstanding, which were run-of-the-mill clashes of civilizations and attempts at conquest.)
But for the last 500 years, the West had Christopher Columbus, Martin Luther, Isaac Newton, etc., while Islamic world enjoyed pretty much nothing until oil was found. Today, even with all that oil, they still enjoy pretty much nothing. It'll be a matter of time when they will collectively demand something more.

I look at it this way: Progressives believe that if you are caught driving too fast, it's because you are inherently racist, consumed by white privilege and your car is a deadly weapon wielded irresponsibly in the faces of subjugated minorities, like women, people of color, members of non Judeo-Christian religions and LGBT exceptions to the above. Progressives believe the Place Des Anglais terrorist was victimized by his truck, Trump and anti-immigrant sentiment fed by dark forces all over Europe, but most particularly the Brexit voters of England.

I honestly don't know where you got that from. Their early conquests in the Middle East and North Africa were places that had known civilization for centuries, and were part of the Roman world. Christianity had already taken root. It was the most advanced region on the planet with the possible exception of China.
The Muslims did not bring any new knowledge or prosperity. They lived off the wealth of the societies they conquered.
500 years from the time of the founding of Islam was the mid 1100s. By that time they had destroyed what was left of the Library of Alexandria and attempted to destroy Egypt's pyramids.

It certainly looks bleak at the moment, but I wouldn't go that far. An Islamic conquest would condemn the world to a permanent Dark Age.
Incidentally, I was just about to mention a theory that Islam was responsible for Europe's Dark Age in medieval times. At the time of the fall of the Roman Empire in the 400s, much of Europe had a rich civilization. The barbarian tribes absorbed Roman ways, and within a century or two became Christianized. The Roman government collapsed, but civilization didn't grind to a halt. Its inheritors carried on the traditions. Literacy was widespread. Roman Europe was just under new management.
But then when Islam began to spread around 600-700, the theory goes, the trade in papyrus was cut off, forcing Europe to switch to much more expensive parchment. That's when literacy plummeted, and presto: The Dark Age began.

He argues that Christianity will not look like it does now, that even some of the current confessions will not survive the coming century, but new vigorous Christian churches are emerging by the millions in the rest of the world. Currently the largest, Africa and South America, are not linked up and are very different from each other. That is due to change.

Most historians say the Dark Ages were a myth. What happened was that as Rome shrank and eventually the forts that they had built and abandoned in England and Gaul became a gathering point for the settlements that had been around them. They did this for protection from the thieves. Those settlements eventually because small kingdoms which gradually united into countries over the decades. The so-called "loss of knowledge" never occurred.
