While the Constitution acknowledges the contributions of the Greeks and the Romans, the framers ignore the influence of Christianity.

"I am an atheist and everybody knows it," he the London Telegraph this week. "But there are no excuses for making references to ancient Greece and Rome, and the Enlightenment, without making references to the Christian values which are so important to the development of Europe."

What kind of dumb constitution is this, anyway? Wake up, Europe. The US has had a pretty darned good Constitution for over 200 years now and is currently the 800 pound gorilla on the world stage. Think: emulation.

I suspect Europe does not want to think 'emulation', with regards to the world's superpower, the USA, but perhaps 'replacement'.
