From the desk of Svein Sellanraa on Sat, 2011-12-31 16:21 On New Year's Day, Hungary's new Constitution, which was ratified in April of this year, comes into force. Reactions from Leftist elites in Western Europe have, to say the least, been unfavorable. A recent blog post on the subject hosted on the website of Aftenposten, Norway's largest newspaper and a nominally conservative publication, is entitled “Ungarn tar farvel med demokratiet”, which roughly translates to “Hungary Says Farewell to Democracy”. An older article, courtesy of Human Rights Watch and written when the Constitution was first ratified, has the title “Hungary: New Constitution Enshrines Discrimination”. From the desk of AWR Hawkins on Fri, 2011-12-30 18:32 In the not-so-distant past, Christmas was a season of “comfort and joy” throughout the West. Encompassed by spiritual ties that bound people together, even people of different languages and varied religious outlooks, the celebration of the babe in the manger brought university in the midst of diversity and reminded us of our heritage and our common humanity. But as the last Christmas came and went, we were reminded again that those spiritual ties, and that Western heritage, have been ruptured. As a result, historical (actual) events in our past which demonstrated our culture’s university are not even remotely possible today. Case in the point: The Christmas Truce that took place in the trenches of World War One during the Christmas of 1914.
