It's always the things you don't expect that get you. After banking scandals, currency issues, and a Greek/Portugese/Spanish debt crisis just about every six months, the economic and political partnership that is the European Union seems much more likely to fall apart for an entirely different reason after all.
That reason is ISIS.
This is a political nightmare for the statist bureaucrats who have been working for decades to reduce true representative democracy all for the goal of a unified and monolithic economic entity without worrying about being hindered by annoying little things like the will of the people. Before these attacks and the border response, the E.U. simply glossed over dissent and most attempts to challenge its un-elected sovereignty.
But what do the people who spread accusations of racism and xenophobia do now that more Europeans than ever believe their governments are sacrificing their safety in favor of remaining compliant with E.U. immigration dogma? The simple answer is that they're in trouble, and no amount of sanctimonious shaming or economic threats will do much good when the majority of the public doesn't feel safe anymore.

It’s one more sign of the end for the EU. They don’t have the desire to survive and they have embraced European socialists, just a tad more evil than American socialists. That plus they are being replaced by their overlords by a population that is outbreeding them...muzzies. Recipe for destruction.
Sir:
I don’t disagree. See my tagline for my real feelings.
However, I think it is wise to frame the issue differently.
When Senator Cruz calls out ‘Radical Islam’, I think that is very helpful. Because, while you and I may agree that there is no such thing as non-radical islam, it supposes that there should be a non-radical islam.
We need an “Ollie Ollie In Come Free” form of islam to develop as the antithesis of Radical Islam. These >1B muslims are not going to give up a thing called “islam”. So what we have to do is paint the ‘Radical Islam’ thing as so anathema to civilization and their own interests that they will go out and CREATE a non-radical-islam to which they can retreat.
Part of the genius of that approach is that we must attack radical islam in all its forms everywhere all the time. Kill them by the millions as necessary. When they’ve had quite enough of being slaughtered in the name of Radical Islam, they ought, out of self preservation if nothing else, invent non-radical-islam.
So, Hillary (above) is just a shill for multi-culti-ain’t-islam-grand-ness. Baloney, of course.
But let’s use the Cruz formulation of “Radical Islam” so that we can attack it well and correctly and tarnish it so badly that (while it is currently 100% mainstream) it loses its luster.
My 2 cents.
Plus: Thank you for this wonderful forum in which we conservatives can express ourselves in every form and fashion. I rant sometimes. I write thoughtful pieces sometimes. I post humor sometimes. It is all part of that great Western Civilization Approved exchange of ideas.
So is this the end of the United Nations?
Not so long as we continue to pay for it and host it.
The EU embraces islamic states across the globe. $$$$$$$ gotta flow. One conglomerate under EU in a deal with the Devil. The people of Europe and their archaic little cultures be damned.
Well, I’m not running for office and don’t have to be politically correct in these matters. Islam is a direct threat to my freedom and to the very survival of our country as a free nation. The Koran and their Shariah law are antithetical to our Judeo-Christian systems of law and justice and equality under the law and our way of life. And all Muslims are brainwashed with this demonic fascist/totalitarion crap from birth and any one of them can be radicalized into killing for Allah at the drop of a hat. We have no business allowing these people into our country. They’re not coming here to assimilate into our Judeo-Christian society nor even to co-exist with us and that is a guarantee. Their Koran and Shariah law forbids it. So why are they coming?
The sooner the EU ends the better off the world will be.
I would love to see the EU go down in flames. It’s all one world government Soros nonsense, and he is a SICK EVIL man.
WWII wasn’t 500 years ago. it ended 70 years ago. I know, I know, all wounds are healed.
That’s why Greece wanted a few hundred billion from Germany for war reparations recently.
Notional sovereignty is a very important thing. The EU wants nothing more than to take that away.
Look at how Merkel STILL wants “refugees” to come to Germany.
And @#$@#$ the UN
The EU economically will most likely disband however they had best do the best to keep there political ties. They are going to fight the refugee crisis for the next generation. Much of it themselves to blame.
Italy could ask Germany for reparations for the sack of Rome in 1527 (not to mention 410). Probably they shouldn’t seek reparations from Greece for Justinian’s invasion of Italy, since the Greeks might counter-sue over Mussolini’s invasion of Greece in 1940.
You like my Hillary quote?
lol!
I love the idea of reperations from war.
Someone should make a flowchart of who owes whom as a result of 2000 years of wars.
It would look like hillary’s healthcare chart :)
dam. Spelled reparations wrongly.
“But what do the people who spread accusations of racism and xenophobia do now that more Europeans than ever believe their governments are sacrificing their safety in favor of remaining compliant with E.U. immigration dogma?”
Drag the elitist EU Nazi/commie scum into the street and hang them from lampposts. They’ll shut up real quick. They get away with their crap because they’ve suffered no consequences for their actions.
That happens to most of us. I meant it — I was agreeing with you, and thought that I would combine that support with a bit of dry humour.
With 4 nuclear powers in the region, now would be a good time to nuke a certain black cube.
