Too close for comfort to their Basque problem. Kosovo set a very bad precedent—for us too.
It’s not just the Basques. Although there is no violence associated with the movement, Catalonia would like to be its own country, too. There is a lot of resentment that the EU won’t recognize Catalan as an official language because it’s not the language of a member state, even though there are more Catalan speakers than there are Danish speakers.
“Too close for comfort to their Basque problem. Kosovo set a very bad precedent—for us too.”
You’ve got that right. Of all the truly moronic ironies— the fledgling Aztlan state has now been given effective legal sanction by the Kosovo Precedent. The communiques of the State Department become effective US law when it comes to national recognition, and now Aztlan is effectively a real state under similar terms.
In a perverse way, I actually think this might be a good thing, since having Aztlan carved out will be the one event that will force arrogant USA elites to recognize the massive blunder of Kosovo, and supporting criminal, gun-running al-Qaeda-allied Muslims (who thanked us for Kosovo by perpetrating the September 11 attacks on the USA) against a long-suffering Christian people like this.
Sometimes, the best medicine is painful and awful, but since our neoliberal/neocon (both sides of the globalist fallacy) elites refuse to embrace common-sense, it’ll be well-deserved when they hoist themselves on their own petard.
Even the mainstream media is finally starting to put up a more balanced tack on Kosovo— since MSM media sources are rapidly facing bankruptcy, they’re coming to understand that American citizens are sick and tired of the same-old globalist PC claptrap, and won’t drink the Kool-Aid anymore as we migrate to other sources more in tune with common sense.
Frankly, I think both major parties should also be facing bankruptcy, since the old liberal/conservative and Democratic/Republican divisions don’t mean much anymore— the vast majority of the US population is essentially paleocon, isolationist and anti-globalist, and that includes the vast majority of Dems as well as us in the GOP (though deserting to the Constitution Party and others in droves). I can only hope that some sensible alternative to the morons in the major parties comes up soon that recognizes the blunder of Kosovo, and soon. A revolution might be the alternative. But I’m beginning to suspect that even our chronically moronic elites are beginning to catch onto the national mood.
Yeah. Zapatero will stand fast until the Moo’s set off a bomb, and then the Spaniards will wave the white flag.....
