I have been saying for a long time that Europe is probably doomed, and the reasons are not hard to see.
Europe can be saved, but it will take an effort that most Europeans feel uncomfortable making because it means sacrifice.
Either Europe gives up it's four-week-vacation-reire-at-45-with-gov't-subsidized-maid-service mentality or it will go the way of Constantinople. What's at stake is the very survival of Western Culture.
Europeans need to be reminded of what they have and what they will lose if they don't do the following things;
1. Demand and defend civil society
2. Reject the "philosophies" of a legion of very bad French and German thinkers which preach cultural suicide and nihilism
3. Remember that rights are granted by God, and preserved by people willing to die for them
4. Stop the economic rot in their societies caused by excessive government intrusion into every aspect of operations and hiring practices
5. Demand that Muslims either agree to be part of a civil society based upon laws and common custom or they leave. If need be, forcibly.
6. Dismantle the gigantic welfare state which is a leftover defense mechanism against communism
7. Disband the EU; anything that has both France and Germany in bed together does not bode well for anyone.
8. Find some way to make the institutions of Western Civilization (the church, the army, the 'core' academy (i.e. non-liberal arts subjects)) more attractive options for their young people
9. Stop importing "taxpayers" for the sake of propping up welfare systems, and simultaneously believing that those imports don't need to, or can be, assimilated.
10. Stop the petty bickering with the US over issues that basically devolve into matters over "prestige" and public relations ,and recall the historical common cause between the continents..
Until recently, I was a big believer that NATO should be abolished since there was no longer a Soviet threat. But now I'm not quite so sure: someone is going to have to fight for Europe, and once again, it just might have to be Americans.
