Jeesh, for the last time, we are a constitutional republic, not a democracy.

“Never before have I seen national governments so weakened by the forces of populism and paralyzed by the risk of defeat in the next elections,” lamented European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker during his State of the EU address in September. …

A Euro weenie upset that folks still have a sense of national patriotism - it weakens those that would subjugate them.....

Internal instability and external chaos. Europe intends to protect itself from a perfect storm by praying to the goddess of liberal democracy, blessed by Fukuyama, to remain as it stands today.
********************************

The author completely ignores that Islam is on the march and taking over western Europe. France, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Denmark will be under sharia and part of the caliphate in my lifetime.
Islam has no use for liberal democracy except to use it to take their countries from them.
Once they are numerous enough, the muslims will impose sharia. Everyone will submit or die. That is the Islamic way.
Eastern Europe shows signs of having a survival instinct and will not follow their western counterparts down the road of self-destruction. Importing Islam after repulsing it militarily for 1400 years is as stupid as it gets.

Most citizens of a free democratic state are too wrapped up in their own needs and pleasures. They fail to take on their duty to support and keep their freedoms.

Only a few prefer liberty—the majority seek nothing more than fair masters.

Turning point for anti-truth, anti-freedom, anti-individual, anti-life totalitarians and their collectives.

DEFUND / DISMANTLE / DESTROY (when necessary)

Liberal democracy in Europe and the United States is in crisis,

We are just fine. In fact, given we just elected someone outside the establishment, we are doing better than most.

George Orwell drafted his earliest notes for what became NINETEEN EIGHTY-FOUR in 1943, under the proposed title of “The Last Man in Europe.

As O’Brien was torturing Winston Smith in Room 101, he explained to Winston the history of class struggle (tyrants, kings, oligarchs, democracy, fascism, socialism: IngSoc) and how the group in power eventually gave way to the group challenging them. He compared power shifts to the swing of a pendulum.

O’Brien told Winston that he was the last man: Big Brother and Ingsoc had finally stopped the pendulum from swinging. He asserted that the Party had managed to end history.
The end of history is a political and philosophical concept that supposes that a particular political, economic, or social system may develop that would constitute the end-point of humanity’s sociocultural evolution and the final form of human government.

We have been living under a statist, oligarchical tyranny for a quarter century. The Republic dodged a bullet last November 8th. The next few years may be our last chance to ensure that we continue to govern ourselves.

The executive orders ad nauseum are more like Russia and China. We haven’t been following the principles of our founders for generations and that isn’t changing Jan 2017. Lotsa taxpayer money for cororations, a trillion dollar stimulus and jobs created or saved.. Trump sounds more like Obama than anyone will admit.
