Culture War in Europe
Canada Free Press ^ | 04/13/16 | Anthony J. Tarquinto

A “Brexit” could cause a chain-reaction of others wanting out, putting the intellectuals’ dream of a “United States of Europe” in jeopardy.

The continent that gave us Beethoven, blue-water navies, the Renaissance, the Enlightenment and the Industrial Revolution is in existential crisis. Since early 2014, millions of people from Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and northern Africa have streamed into Europe’s southern periphery, with more on the way. Western elites have criticized some nations for not doing enough to absorb the influx from war-torn countries. What they don’t realize is that refugees of war often drag the war along with them. From our point of view, in the context of the greater “war on terror” is a culture war.

Civilization is in a culture war.
It’s impacting every nation and immigration to once civilized nations is literally turning them into 3rd world nations.

You can’t make an omelet without breaking some eggs. That’s what’s for brexit.

Will they break out of the “stuck on stupid” mentality in time or will they become the new goat/sheep sex slaves for their Muslim masters?

European engineering is supposed to be so brilliant, especially the Germans, but I gotta tell ya if they are so idiotic as to give away their nation then they are morons and and the same must be true of their judgement and ingenuity. I will never buy another German car in fear it might just crash all on its own, as has its nation.

Europe used to be a wonderful place to visit with their distinct cultures. Now it is OK but nowhere near the way it was even 10 years ago.

German engineering is meticulous and robust. Engineering from Northern Italy is clever and quick. Both great. France....not so much.

Did the continent give those things or did the individual countries do it? And if you are congratulating "Europe" for all of those things, how about blaming all of Europe for the Inquisition, the Holocaust, socialism, communism, nerve gas, the Holodomor in Ukraine and Ace of Base.
