Miss Liberty's Film & TV World. De la foi aux USA. Entretien avec un catholique américain. De Paris à Auburn, Alabama, en passant par Atlanta et Birmingham. Ce mois de juillet 2010, je dois accompagner ma fille à Atlanta, Georgie, et je voudrais en profiter pour rendre visite à mon ami Daniel qui vit à Birmingham, dans l’Etat voisin d’Alabama. Il est installé aux Etats-Unis depuis plus de 15 ans et il travaille pour la chaîne de télévision catholique internationale EWTN (Eternal Word Television Network, traduction : Réseau Télévisé du Verbe Eternel). Par ailleurs, à deux heures et demi de route plus au sud de Birmingham, se trouve la ville d’Auburn avec son Institut non moins international : l’Institut Ludwig von Mises. Je vais faire d’une pierre deux coups… Le trajet le plus fréquent pour accéder à Auburn depuis Paris consiste à prendre un avion pour Atlanta. Prévoir 12h de vol avec une escale obligée, à Philadelphie ou Washington, selon la compagnie choisie.

Ensuite il vous reste à attendre le shuttle pour Auburn (50$) à moins de louer une voiture. D’Atlanta à Birmingham (1ère partie) Aujourd’hui Mother Angelica est âgée.

Pour la plupart, des étudiants, et une poignée d'hommes d'affaires. Plus étrange encore, ces pèlerins viennent suivre des cours d'"économie autrichienne" sur tous les sujets classiques (monnaie, banque, entreprise, prix, salaires, profit, cycle, environnement, etc.) dans l'université d'été organisée, pour la dix-huitième année, par l'Institut Ludwig von Mises - un élégant bâtiment flambant neuf à l'extérieur du campus de l'université d'Auburn et sans rapport avec elle.

Dr. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. In 2010, Conservatives Still Outnumber Moderates, Liberals. PRINCETON, NJ -- Conservatives have maintained their leading position among U.S. ideological groups in the first half of 2010. Gallup finds 42% of Americans describing themselves as either very conservative or conservative. This is up slightly from the 40% seen for all of 2009 and contrasts with the 20% calling themselves liberal or very liberal. The 2010 results are based on eight Gallup and USA Today/Gallup surveys conducted from January through June, encompassing interviews with more than 8,000 U.S. adults. The 42% identifying as conservative represents a continuation of the slight but statistically significant edge conservatives achieved over moderates in 2009. Should that figure hold for all of 2010, it would represent the highest annual percentage identifying as conservative in Gallup's history of measuring ideology with this wording, dating to 1992. The recent rise in conservatism's fortunes follows a decline seen after 2003; liberalism has experienced the opposite pattern.
