Democrats worship all that is European. The area north and east of New York is really Neo Europa.

The vast majority of these European courts -- whether the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) or the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) -- in their attempt to be moral and just, have dismissed the sovereign laws of Italy as irrelevant, and trampled the rights of the Italian state and ordinary Italians to approve who enters their country.
In Europe, Amnesty International and the like are, it seems, a new source of law.
Those who gave the Statue of Liberty to America in 1886 "to commemorate the perseverance of freedom and democracy in the United States" are willingly trampling their own people's liberties today through courts of appointed, unelected, unaccountable ideologues. The danger is that, with the help of many doubtless well-intentioned, international NGOs, the EU will not stop at its shores.
Europe is the worst enemy of the US? You cannot be serious. Islamism, Russia, illegal immigrants... whatever, but surely not Europe! Are we not still together in NATO? Do we not conduct huge amounts of trade every day? Do we not share the same cultural roots, the same civilization, the same vision of the future? Did France not give the US her famous Statue of Liberty – "Liberty Enlightening the World?"
Not anymore. In a sense, Europe looks like a continent where American Democrats have been in power for 30 years, not only in the European states, but also at the level of the European Union.

"When the Italian Navy intercepted illegal migrants in the Mediterranean Sea and sent them back to their point of origin, Libya, not only did the ECHR condemn Italy for this "obvious" breach of human rights; the Italians had to pay 15,000 euros ($17,000 USD) to each of these illegal migrants in the name of "moral damage". This kind of money is equivalent to more than 10 years of income in Somalia and Eritrea (the countries of origin of Mr. Hirsi Jamaa and his companions). In 2016, Somalia's GDP per capita was an estimated $400 USD; Eritrea's $1,300."
Communism, Fascism and economically bankrupting socialism also came from Europe.
Since the Feudalism ended, the Europeans have been desperately flailing around trying to figure out how to build a new aristocracy to rule them.
EU is just the latest fail.
Oh I think it’s worse. I think our country might ally with Europe in the future too, at least the government and the liberals who comprise it will.
Totally agree.

In 2001, the remains of Kevin Barry were exhumed by the government of Ireland from the prison yard at Mountjoy Jail, where he was hanged in 1920 (never mind why, either you know or you don't), and he was given an Irish state funeral.
At his funeral, the Prime Minister of Ireland gave a speech, in which he said that Kevin Barry died to create an open and tolerant Ireland.
Now, Kevin Barry fought the British not to make Ireland OPEN or TOLERANT, but to set Ireland APART from the rest of the world.
Europe is afflicted by a deep, probably fatal, sickness.
Unfair, but the cheaper solution to letting them in.
I’d say the enemy is a bit closer....most have a D after their name.
Except Poland...we just bought Rick Steve’s guide to the three main cries in Poland...they deserve our tourism...i may go there next summer.
Good idea. Drop by Melania’s home in Slovenia while you’re at it. Another place safe from the the Merky EU grand inquisitors.
I agree with your assessment.
However, were it not for a man named Trump, we’d looking down the same road, but not rule by aristocrats, but ruled by globalist oligarchs like FaceCrook and Warren Buffet of Golden Sacks.

Good grief, after i ogled over the storybook, got all worked up over traveling there, looked at the avg planetary...$1900 each ticket from Cincinnati...ugh! Family of 4.
I don’t know for sure, but here’s my theory about saving on going to Europe.
You pay dearly for going to out of the way places.
You’re better off finding a cheap ticket to anywhere in Europe and then you can take a discount airline anywhere once you get there.
"The Worst Ideological Enemy of the US is Now Europe"
I respectfully disagree with Mr. Godefridi. He evidently does not understand 10th Amendment-protected state sovereignty, and that Supreme Court activist justices, federal judges, lawless presidents, and the corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification Congress have all been wrongly ignoring state sovereignty since before the time of President Wilson.
This is evidenced by all three branches of the corrupt federal government, including non-elected justices, judges and federal bureaucrats, not only wrongly stealing state powers, but also state revenues uniquely associated with those powers, state revenues stolen by means of unconstitutional federal taxes.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
The feds then not only use stolen state powers to force things like constitutionally unprotected, politically correct “rights” like gay “marriage” and abortion on the states, but also use stolen state powers in conjunction with stolen state revenues to establish things like unconstitutional federal healthcare.
"State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphases added]." —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
In order to get the unconstitutionally big federal government off of the backs of citizens, patriots need to prepare for the 2018 elections in the following way imo.
Patriots need to make sure that there are plenty of Trump-supporting patriot candidates on the 2018 primary ballots who will commit to making and enforcing federal laws to prosecute pro-LGBT agenda state officials who make and enforce policies which violate the 14th Amendment by abridging the constitutionally enumerated rights of citizens, particularly 1st Amendment-protected religious expression and speech.
”14th Amendment, Section 1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
Patriots likewise need to make sure that Trump-supporting candidates on the primary ballots understand and will respect the Supreme Court’s clarifications of the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers mentioned in this post.
Second worst. Islamic countries rank at the top.
You mean it wasn't give to us so we could welcome every immigrant from anywhere in the world, legal or illegal, who wants to show up at an airport, or overstay a visa, or cross a border illegally?
Yep. Had this tagline up for weeks now.
It is a shame. Most of what I learned about Europe is sugar coated BS. I also reconsider some of my opinion on the reasoning for America involvement in WWI and II in Europe with all due respect to those slaughtered. Due to this hindsight,I find it not worth it if this is how Western Europe will act. Their gratitude should be eternal but they are flushing themselves down the toilet while giving the USA the finger. I find it hard to believe the USA will come back to save their asses again.
Good grief.
Take Norwegian Air (maybe have to fly from Chicago) and fly to Copenhagen or one of their cheap destinations. Then, fly RyanAir or Easy Jet to eastern Europe. Some of their flights are $25. Once you get to Budapest or Warsaw, you can travel by train.
