The Worst Ideological Enemy of the US is Now Europe
Gatestone Institute ^ | July 20, 2017 | Drieu Godefridi

Posted on 07/21/2017 4:19:09 PM PDT by Oatka

The vast majority of these European courts -- whether the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) or the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) -- in their attempt to be moral and just, have dismissed the sovereign laws of Italy as irrelevant, and trampled the rights of the Italian state and ordinary Italians to approve who enters their country.

In Europe, Amnesty International and the like are, it seems, a new source of law.

Those who gave the Statue of Liberty to America in 1886 "to commemorate the perseverance of freedom and democracy in the United States" are willingly trampling their own people's liberties today through courts of appointed, unelected, unaccountable ideologues. The danger is that, with the help of many doubtless well-intentioned, international NGOs, the EU will not stop at its shores.

Europe is the worst enemy of the US? You cannot be serious. Islamism, Russia, illegal immigrants... whatever, but surely not Europe! Are we not still together in NATO? Do we not conduct huge amounts of trade every day? Do we not share the same cultural roots, the same civilization, the same vision of the future? Did France not give the US her famous Statue of Liberty – "Liberty Enlightening the World?"

Not anymore. In a sense, Europe looks like a continent where American Democrats have been in power for 30 years, not only in the European states, but also at the level of the European Union.

Do yourself a favor and search up the history of anti-americanism.

The European powers have only ever not been our enemy when they needed us to save them from the latest European Bloodfest idiocy.

You’ll find the usual thumb-sucking nonsense from the usual suspects trying to put it all on more recent events, but it pre-dates America as a country when the “new world” was considered by the philosophers of the day that the place that became America is where men are transformed into beasts by the miasma.

Half of America is still strong and ascendant. Europe is lost. Pray that the strong, ascendant half of America prevails. If it does not, America will fall with Europe.

You are Europe.

And, you are dying too.

You can just be smug for a few more decades.

I will smile smugly as you answer the call to prayer.

We are starting to clean house. Europe is too scared.

Grimmy?

You know better than this.

Europe gave us the ideal of freedom, the theory and practice of free markets, the division of power, the scientific method and modernity.

But, perhaps Europe’s best achievement and legacy are YOU.

The United States of America.

All of which, including the genetic stock of the founding fathers, hailed from Europe.

Not even close.

America’s fore fathers came to the New World to get away from Europe and it’s smothering ways.

And Europe has been trying desperately to find a way to crawl back into the degradation of some new version of feudalism, no matter how many millions must be slaughtered, ever since they crawled out.

Grimmy?

I think you need to get more granular.

Should I judge the USA by California, by black lives matter, by antifa or the the remnants of the kkk for that matter....

Of course not.

I love America - always have.

To me you are the last and great beacon of freedom.

Many Europeans share those thoughts.

Just some weeks ago, you had thousands of Europeans shouting America and shouting Trump.

San Fran is not Iowa and Berlin is not Gdansk.

I think, as God is my witness, that is the duty of all good men. To Stand together.

There is only one who wants to divide.

The muslims call him Shaitan.

Beelzebub, djevelen, satan or Lucifer.

Let’s rise above his evil plans and find any allies we can.

Will it save America if Europe implodes?

No.

And if you are black? or white?

America will not be your for much longer as well.

I wonder how the hispanic majority will think of your “European” founding fathers....

El blanco diablo..ey?

So do not look for enemies where there are none.

Time is short for all of us.
