"Into the vacuum left by the demise of America will rush the unified Europe."

Emmanuel needs to adjust his meds.

He better hope we don't remember the French like this in 2044 when we have to rescue them from Islamic domination.

The left is on the brink of total collapse. They just cant figure it out but boy do they try. How can one ideology be wrong about everything?

If Europe today is "unified," I would hate to see it in disarray.

It's so sad to see Old Europe trying so hard to distract themselves from the fact that the heydays of their countries are long, long gone. How pathetic.

This guy is sitting in the middle of a transformation of his own territory into "Eurabia", and he doesn't seem to realize what's going on all around him. He's writing about "the collapse of America" with his feet on one giant sink hole.

But the religiosity soon fades away once the revolution ushers in modernity. All revolutions are violent. Today's jihadist revolutions are just Islamic societies entering the modern world.

That type of thinking will get you killed.

Islam isn't about this world or its pleasures it is about doing what God wants done and that is knuckling under non-believers or killing them. - tom

Emmanuel needs to adjust his meds.

Or be given a stern lecture by his father:

"Leave it alone-It will grow."

"Mr. Todd's projections are a mix of leftist ideology, the postmodernist construction of alternative truths, and, above all, wishful thinking. —•"

And the terrifying reality that european voters will turn Right at the next election!

When exactly was France's heyday?

Sometime before Napoleon's "invasion" of Russia and Waterloo.

You may yet convince me that your name would be better placed at the front of the ticket.

I can't take it anymore. I'm going to vomit. The Unified Europe? Unified in the vision that they're all going to hell at the hands of the overpopulated third world that feels it's owed something from Europe.

Oh wait. That does sound kinda familiar. Where the hell is Aztlan, anyway.

"Weak and decadent?"

What's the deal with "weak and decadent?"

Since when did "weak and decadent" suggest collapse to a European?

"Europeans have nothing against Muslims."

But it isn't exactly mutual. See previous sentence.

wow so many issues to adress here, but ill stick with these two.

One is the comment about the "weak" American military, first of all we took out the most powerful military in the middle east in three weeks and we only used about 25% of our force, we did what the Soviets who "won WW2" couldnt in Afghanistan, and those hairdressers across the pond wouldn't EVER dare to attack to the US even if we voted in Nazis, which wont ever happen

The other comment is the one about us losing democracy, first just because the American people use common sense is not losing democracy, second, while i know he is way left, Senator Harry Reid from Nevada is proof that anyone can rise to power in American which is 99.9% impossible in any European country. Third if Im not mistaken America is the most free country in the world, go try to buy a rifle in France.

While I believe people like these are idiots, some can be helpful if they believe America will fall if they dont act to stop it, if they believe America will fall no matter what then they are just plain stupid. One last comment American can not be compared to any other country because it is like no other country is or has been

"Russia won the war, he claims, not America."

Who beat Russia in the Cold War?
