I think Brexit and Trump have been good news; but I don’t know about Le Pen; why can’t the EU just continue to exist but not have open borders? There are benefits to having an EU and them having free trade.

but I don’t know about Le Pen;

Specifically, what is your problem with Le Pen?

why can’t the EU just continue to exist but not have open borders?

You obviously don't understand what the EU is. Google the Schengen Agreement.

There are a lot of benefits for European countries to cooperate on many issues. The EU, though, is a horrible political super entity that is unaccountable to European citizens. All real power in Europe is behind the curtain. Any national elected leader or legistator is effectively an actor paid to distract the citizens away from the real players.

The EU is globalist claptrap. It is in essence giving power to a strong federal government over the states, just like obunghole wanted in the US. It is to be avoided at all costs. Yes having many “states” with different interests is messy but that is the way to secure individual rights and interests which is the antipathy of the global left. NO you do NOT want to “unite” people under one government! I like what Hungary is doing. Is ANYONE ELSE brave enough to do the same?!

The EU, as a political entity, is inherently globalist and thus destructive of the character of European nations.

NO you do NOT want to “unite” people under one government! This is what the left wants to do and they have sold their soul to Islam as a way of fighting their losing battle. I like what Hungary is doing. Is ANYONE ELSE brave enough to do the same?!

If you will criticize me for this I give you this video:

This is who the left is allying themselves with - Radical Islam. And Radical Islam will be the first to kill the left if it is ascendent.

That is exactly what the EEC "European Economic Comunity" was supposed to be. It was immesly successful. However when the EEC morphed into a common government ruled from Brussels it laid the seeds to its own destruction. It became a political entity instead of a economic entity. The EEC a great organization committed suicide. As an economic union it was a force for peace between nations of Europe that have fought each other for centuries. As a political overlord it aroused the passions of well founded nationality against foreign government from Brussels. The EEC has now become an institution of destabilization in Europe. Its original purpose was achieved and was grand. It is no longer that entity.
