“Europe and its nations were forged in the matrix of ideas, ideals, and beliefs of Christianity, which gives divine sanction to notions like human rights, the sanctity of the individual, political freedom and equality. Today across Europe Christian belief is a shadow of its former self.”
Even when all of Europe was Christian, there was constant strife and squabbling among the city-states, kingdoms, and tribes. If Jesus can’t keep them together, I doubt any human government will be able to.
The EU was dead on day one when they decided to mask fascism as common currency.
It was a dumb idea, but it’s not going away.
The goal was to eliminate each European country and to expand the central government, much as the U.S. federal government is doing now.
“As the European Coal and Steel Community of Jean Monnet evolved into the EU, we were told a “United States of Europe” was at hand, modeled on the USA. And other countries and continents will inevitably follow Europe’s example. “
Did these people not read how hard it was to just make the “American Union” happen? And that was with 13-14 nations that all spoke English! Not to mention it only happened with a constitution that was made to restrict a large government and was shorter than many kids books, you know, the OPPOSITE of what the EU came up with.
The EU is a mixture of iron and clay. It will hold together for a few more years until the vision of the Babylonian king is complete.
EU, I like the idea as a tourist. It’s great to travel from one country to the next and as long as they are in the EU, you don’t have to worry about border checks or exchanging currency (at least the Eurozone part). However, I would not want to be a citizen of the EU. Having another central government on top of my own central government, no thanks. For the Eurozone countries, they share a monetary policy without sharing an economic policy, that’s when you end up with Greece and bailouts and all the weaker countries being a drag on the stronger ones.
I think at least the Eurozone part will not be long for this world. In the next five to ten years I can see people leaving the Eurozone and going back to their original currency.
I didn't know "European" was a race.
Learn something new every day.
Jesus Christ: You can’t impeach Him and He ain’t gonna resign.
I disagree.
This argument is common among those who advocate for mass immigration (Please note: the author, Pat Buchanan, has never advocated for mass immigration).
America would survive just fine, with its current population, if we focused our multi-billion dollar R&D budget on keeping our citizens healthy and productive for more years, and if we focused on robotics, automation, and intelligent software, which would reduce our economic dependence on physical labor.
