Excellent! is RIGHT! Three factors, as I see it:
1. Europe knows the socialist entitlements are going to bust them down to third-world status.
2. Europe has a muslim problem. That’s scary to regular people. Multiculturalist coddling is just gasoline on the fire.
3. Europe’s days of relying on the USA for protection are 0ver. They can’t possibly trust baraq0 in a pinch. He’s all talk all the time.

I am thinking about the ways in which our talking heads will spin it...assuming they even address the topic.

I think that Daniel Hannan’s speech spurred some thought among many folks. I can’t get enough of his rant against rampant spending.

So give me numbers (of someone who knows the new coalitions in European Parliament — I’m American so I don’t get this like some of you do, and we over on ‘this side of the pond’ would like a civics lesson).

This is what I know (or believe)-

EPP (Marginally Conservative)
“Far Right/Eurosceptic” (More Conservative or Libertarian)
Liberals/Democrats (Marginally Leftists?)
Socialists/Labor- Socialists Liberals
Leftists/Greens Commies/far left nuts?
Unaffialiated “fringe parties”?
Am I right? Are there more..

If this trend continues, America may be isolated by our allies as the only one with an anti-American head of state.

I am furious because these are the same people who hate America and pushed 0bama on us and here are turning to ‘right wingers’ themselves.

‘2. Europe has a muslim problem. That’s scary to regular people. Multiculturalist coddling is just gasoline on the fire.’

I know a dude from the Netherlands and he has nothing but bad things to say about muslims. He says they’re ruining his country of origin as well as the rest of Europe. Says it’s getting to where he doesn’t want to go visit his relatives anymore. And,yes, he loves the U.S.
