Europeans Should Embrace the American Revolution...and declare their independence from ruling-class tyranny.

We made it to our two-hundred-fiftieth birthday, America. What’s next? Let’s get back to work, so that our descendants can celebrate one thousand.

Making sure the American Experiment endures is work, after all. Protecting American ideals from our ideological enemies is never easy.

Well before our nation declared independence from Great Britain, the American system repudiated the whole “ruling class” hierarchy that — to this day! — still oozes from the infected abscesses of the United Kingdom and much of continental Europe. After we fought two world wars in the twentieth century to save Europe from itself, we spent the Cold War period in a bit of a kumbaya stupor during which Americans often equated the beliefs of Western nobles with those who founded and built the United States.

But Europe and America have never been the same. The people who built America left Europe behind for good reasons. They rejected Europe’s aristocratic allegiances, its feudal social structures, and its false pretension that blue-blooded “elites” are divinely and innately empowered to rule over everyone else. The Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution are not merely documents establishing America’s political separation from Britain and the legal foundations for its new government. They are revolutionary statements of America’s intent to remove itself from the generational enslavement upon which monarchies, ruling classes, and feudal systems depend.

Taken together, the Declaration and Constitution assert fundamental truths that governments throughout human history have tried to obscure from their peoples. Those truths include the recognition that all of us are equal before God; so-called noble aristocrats are not divinely given or entitled to receive more power or privilege than the common man. Furthermore, our rights come from God, not the government. Aristocrats, government officials, elected representatives, and bureaucrats cannot give us what

Europe lost most of their brave man DNA in WW I and WW II.

From the op-ed: "...Europe's aristocratic allegiances, its feudal social structures, and its false pretension that blue-blooded 'elites' are divinely and innately empowered to rule over everyone else."

Having been a legal resident in Germany for decades, and having worked in many European nations, I attest to the above as a fine image of the European Commission, as it functions today. Astride atop other "aristocratic allegiances" and "feudal social structures," the EC works diligently to wrap all under its unholy "Roman empire," with all those "European values" which are never clearly defined.

Von der Leyen's "more Europe" means more centralization, and her allies work each day towards that goal. Even Canada's Carney -- once the Bank of England's chief -- works to make Europe even include Canada.

Thanks for posting.

For all the lip service paid to “freedom and democracy” I don’t think our diplomatic corps and statesman really believe any of that.

Why isn’t the constitution the template or model for these people? The truth is, they don’t much care for it in the U.S.A. so it’s no surprise it is not going to be championed abroad.

“What you really need is free speech. Freedom to worship. Private property rights, self-determination, self-defense. “

Notice you never, ever hear any of them talk like that? Just vague, euphemistic word salad about “shared values”.

>Europe lost most of their brave man DNA in WW I and WW II.

That’s a cute and common meme but absolutely zero basis in biology. Unless of course someone has pinned down the ‘courage’ sequence :D

Europe’s problems are planned, organized, and orchestrated; just like ours here. At the heart of your point is IMO this: courage is also a gift from God.

Why? If someone does not have Christ, either overtly (like atheists) or in their conscience (like ‘spiritual’ people who deep down know their humming and whatever is just playing) that someone has no hope beyond this life.

If so then it’s very rare for someone who expects to die and “that’s it” to give up the now for future descendents. Or, “Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die.” (Romans 5:7). With God people can dare to do right even though they themselves are weak and/or flawed (innumerable people in and out of the Bible).

Of course the would-be-nobility want to suppress that, if they can, which coincides with the Enemy’s desire; but the Spirit moves where it will.

So just like here where we didn’t get our rights from the courage of Washington or other founders but from God, their rights and courage come from God; what’s lacking is that they recognize it. All that being a long way of agreeing with the original article...

The US needs to embrace the spirit of Revolution, and throw off the chains of Debt. Fiat currency has one purpose, to feed the wealth of one class of people, and impoverish those below them. End the Federal Reserve Bank, which is not a Federal govt entity, has no Reserves, and is not a Bank.
