Same in Holland until Pim Fortuyn got gunned down by a crazed vegetarian, the first fruitarian to kill a fruit Aryan.would never have appeared in his version.

Most Britons don't want to be part of a super-Eurasian state. They want to be governed from London from a Parliament they elected to represent them, not grandees from a distant Brussels.
The quintessential definition of Socialism.
Man you can't beat Steyn with a stick!
Eurocrazi bump.
Normally, I'd chide Mark for using the same line in more than one article, but considering it is by far the most clever line ever written, I'm inclined to give him a pass.
Between the Eutopian dreams in Eurabia full of Eurinals led by Eurodee and Eurodum, the humor says the EU loses if it ever comes before the people. The question becomes whether the elites ever allow it to come to a vote.
I wasn't very amused by the Pim Fortuyn reference... Steyn usually has more class than that. But the rest is spot on insightful as usual.
Immigration is a comparable issue in the US. Neither party wants to talk about it. Most of the public does.

'We are a nation that has a government - not the other way around." Of all the marvellous Ronald Reagan lines retailed over the weekend, that's my favourite.
This line is a keeper, and it is so true of many facets of American politics as well. By the time the cure comes around, it not only doesn't solve the problem, but the problem doesn't even exist anymore.
The "lunatic mainstream" paradigm is there, because they've received lunatic left concepts from their most popular choices in media for most of their lives. They expect the government to take care of everything, including the maintainance of their bizarre, anti-American and anti-Jewish perceptions of what's happening in the world. To them, Panama is administered oppressed by a government of US leaders.
For some phantastic resemblance of sanity, they are fed intermittent doses of the illusion of symbolic monarchy--empire, and believe that the US is not properly administering its empire. They are taught that President Bush is a mildly retarded country bumpkin--a puppet of conspiratorial, corporate shadow dictators in a conspiracy to oppress the perfectly justified "Palestinian" "freedom fighters."
They publicly criticize our President mildly. In smaller circles of their own, behind our backs, they bash us all mercilessly and generally. There are no truth or lies there, and only cruel denizens of the radical right hold to dictionary definitions. To them, fascism is a "state of mind," rather than a form of government where businesses may be privately owned but are contolled, along with speech, by the government.
The UK has a brainwashed populace indoctrinated by fascists/communists, indeed.
The politicians are getting further and further away from the people. Looks like term limits are going to be the only answer. I know that here, our forefathers never envisioned professional politicians.
If England doesn't feel "at home" in the EU. Rather than be isolated on their little island, they could petition to join the US. At least they'd speak (mostly) the same language.
How far away is this from happening in the United States?
The patricians, the plebeians/productive workers and the blood suckers.
The Republicans are made up of Patricians and Plebeians; The Democrats of Patricians and Blood Suckers.
Our Patrician rulers divide their loyalties between their party and their class. This means no party fully represents my interests.
Both Kerry and Bush are Patricians.
As a mental exercise I developed the following percentages.
Bush is 30% beneficial to me 35% Harmful and 35% indifferent
Kerry is 15% beneficial to me 50% harmful and 35 % indifferent
I will obviously vote for Bush, but I will not deceive myself that the net result is beneficial to me.

Bump for later savoring.
