The Europeans, namely the French, rejected the EU constitution because they thought it supported evil anglo-American style capitalism.

Right! They didn't want to give up their 35 hour work week and 7 weeks of vacation plus the multitude of other socialist programs. To spin it as anti-capitalism is typical left wing media hype.

All these trade agreements do is expand free enterprise to those who haven't experienced the benefits of it as well as lower prices and increase trade for everyone, benefitting all economies. Those against it have a vested interest in the status quo, though they bemoan that, too.

If that doesn't remind everyone of the Democrats in Congress I don't know why not.

Your friends at the Heritage Foundation say it wasn't anti-capitalism, but pro-sovereignty that the French rejected the EU constitution.

The European people have shocked their elites and much of the left in the United States by opting for freedom, sovereignty, and a looser, more nation-based EU than the continent’s tired elite could have imagined possible.
