...the only reason why Belgium has gotten away with being Belgium and Sweden Sweden and Germany Germany this long is because Americas America. The soft comfortable cocoon in which western Europe has dozed this last half-century is girded by cold hard American power. What happens when the last serious western nation votes for the same soothing beguiling siren song as its enervated allies?So true. Europe has been free to lap up what ever policies they choose because deep down they've known they could count on the U.S. to pick up the tab in a pinch. Once the U.S. is in all ways bankrupted, the comfy Europeans will crumble. They're well on their way.
I can't help but think of the U.S. as going the way of the Dixie Chicks: on top of the world for a glorious period of time, and then plunged into impotent irrelevance by a couple of foolish ideas/mistakes, never to be heard from again. Of no use to anyone. I pray that does not happen on OUR watch.

Well if we do opt for Eurosocialism and become a Canada Lite, we'll be left with one big hangover. The Canadians are just digging themselves out from the wreckage of Trudeaupia.

Whoops, that sounded a little Concerned Trollish. Not my intention!! My point is just that our fellow Americans need to wake up and see what's going on in Europe, and then have the good sense to recognize that it's actually a problem, and one that we are creeping toward ourselves. Be vigilant!
