With Brexit locked in, here are other EU countries that poll high to 'exit'
CNBC ^ | June 24, 2016 | Everett Rosenfeld

A majority of British voters said Thursday that the United Kingdom should leave the European Union, launching markets into turmoil as investors tried to digest what the referendum means for the U.K. and the European bloc as a whole.

Although concern for the future of the EU may seem like hyperbole, nearly every member state has a political contingent in favor of leaving the union, and the successful Brexit vote may have just politically legitimized — and energized — those movements.

That's an interesting, and very puzzling, bar chart you posted there. The Poles and the Hungarians have been very resistant to many EU policies, especially on immigration.

Yet they top the chart when it comes to EU favorability.

Michigan would have to have it’s own navy to pull something like that off.

Trump will bring liberty back to the United States. We just need to drastically cut our government and get the right Supreme Court members
.......
And that the Congress would don what is in their charter of responsibilities.

Boy I hope dark load Sith S0ros took it on the chin.

If he did, that means not all things in this world are fixed outcomes. That itself is quite an anecdote.

Well if you read me again, you will see I’m far more trustful of Jews trying to escape from Europe than “European shitizens”, which is everyone.
Every Jew should be thoroughly checked out for security defects, but most should be able to flee to the US until they can re-patriated to Israel.

It's not a mystery, they're two of the three biggest beneficiaries of Union financial assistance.

Even though the vast majority of Jews are communists and oppose the existence of the United States, they should nevertheless be rescued from Europe until they can be patriated to their homeland in Israel.

Go back and look at how the "average Jew" in the U.S. has voted in presidential elections in the last 50 years. You suggest that one is not supposed to generalize, but the average Jew in the U.S. is as reliably Marxist as your typical EU bureaucrat.

The best any Republican candidate has done among Jewish voters in my lifetime was Reagan's 39% in 1980. Since then, we've seen the following disgraceful idiocy among these "average Jews" in the U.S.:

1984 -- Reagan 31% (yes, Jews were more likely to vote for Reagan against Carter than in that landslide against Mondale)
1988 -- Bush 35%
1992 -- Bush 11% (Jews came out in droves for that racist Southerner)
1996 -- Dole 16% (some Jews probably felt betrayed when Clinton signed most of Newt Gingrich's "Contract with America" into law)
2000 -- Bush 19%
2004 -- Bush 24%
2008 -- McCain 22%
2012 -- Romney 30%

With a voting record like that, I'd say we should be encouraging them to move to Europe.

Another interesting post, thanks. And it actually makes me feel a little more positive towards the EU, seeing that they are funneling money into Poland. That country has suffered greatly.

Having a solid Constitution and Bill of Rights is one thing. The issue in this country is actually following it.

The US has proven that the Constitution is little protection. The courts ignore the parts that are inconvenient on a daily basis.

There's no reason to "rescue" any Jews from Europe. This isn't 1938, dude.

Any Jew in Europe can move to Israel tomorrow if they want to.

The EU isn't helping Poland.

The EU is bribing Poland.

“Texas would be the first”
“What about VT?”

Hasn’t VT been threatening to leave since day one?
Let’em go.
Canada can have them.
They can link up with Quebec, and learn French.

Your post has merit. But I’m looking at it from a social and not a political, point of view. Jews make good neighbors.

(There I go generalizing again.)

I don’t know about that. The majority of the ones we already have are leftists.

The interesting thing to me is the gap between the predicted results yesterday morning (stay in EU was expected to win by 4%) and the actual results twelve hours later (leave the EU won by 4%).
See yesterday’s article: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3442841/posts “Although the British seemed ready to vote in the Brexit referendum to “Remain” in the European Union . . .”

I expect a similar gap with our November election for Trump. The globalist left has stifled open debate. People still have opinions, but many decent people self-censor and no longer discuss or even admit politically incorrect views in public.

That’s because Putin threatened to nuke them, and the US is too weak thanks to Obama to fulfill the promises made to them, so they are left with picking one of the two old empires.

I don’t see how you can separate the social from the political these days.

Had read that Remain was winning when I went to bed last night - great news this morning!
