Those folks were salivating at the prospect at having their names forever enshrined on the founding document of the EU.

Tough noogies, suckers!

No wonder they rejected it. It's a politically correct rant of nonsense.

Hmmm. These sound like they are addressing their subjects. Armed men are citizens, before whom governments tremble. Unarmed men are subjects before whom tyrants puff and strut.

Have a good Memorial Day. Some can't.

Sounds more like a mutual admiration society roast than a preamble.

It sure sounds as if it were, but I doubt it.

Well, yeah, it's Europe. Did you expect their governments to not try playing tricks on them?

Doesn't hold a candle to the U.S. Constitution preamble, which everyone knows makes a great song.

Interesting: they want to set up a socialist utopia -- supposedly for the people -- yet they keep tripping over their own power centric elites who are More Than Mere Commoners.

I know the Brits aren't exactly on board with this, but I keep thinking about the 300-odd titles held by Elizabeth II alone!
