I should propaply point out the most interesting part propably for you guys from the article:

-There was also a delegation of Americans at the first “Congress of Brussels.” As Daniel Hannan stressed:

“The anti-democratic and centralising tendencies of the EU are not simply a problem for Europeans – Brussels also exports its ideology. Few people in Washington have thought, from first principles, about what kind of Europe would be in American interests. While the US favours democracy, the EU favours stability. There is no hypocrisy here: the EU is not especially keen on democracy within its own borders, either. It is happy to disregard inconvenient referendum results or even – as when Austria admitted the FPÖ into government – to challenge national general elections.”

Have you ever read "Atlas Shrugged"?
I speak for many USA Citizens when I say it is up to the people of Europe to decide the future direction of their nations.
We don't really care.None of our business.
We will adjust how we deal with you as you adjust who you are, based on your individual and collective governments actions.
Frankly, we are very tired of the juvenile antics of European elitists.
Unless and until we are physically attacked by your government(s), we will continue to maintain our pointedly non-imperialistic stance.
Attack us in other ways, expect retribution, eventually.We don't like to hold international grudges longer than about 50 years as a rule, but are always willing to adapt.(France is a case in point) Hey, what do you think the chances are that the UN HQ moves to Iceland?
We will pay for the move....
