The arrogance and disrespect of these turds is truly astonishing. There’s got to be a way to teach them a lesson that they won’t soon forget.
I despise socialists.
The Real Face of the European Union

now there’s a real eye-opener...
Brilliant. I salute you.
Article from the National Review I posted on FR ....LINK:
Brexit and the end of international progressive inevitability>>>
that’s the guy billy crystal wanted to be president. he sees no similarity with the revolt here in the states which is favoring trump for the same reasons he lists on his pro brexit screed.
Always thought Rowling was a Muslim supporter. Ever notice that the only gay guy in her books got thrown off the top of the tallest tower?
Thank you. DId you watch “Brexit The Movie”? I watched about half of it - I need to watch it all. Horrifying, I knew so little about the EU but hated it, after watching part of “Brexit The Movie” I hated it much more.
Here it is:

I’m about half way through. Riveting of course.
I watched it all. Thank GOD they voted out of it!
Elites also say we must not allow states to decide issues like gay marriage or abortion
I watched it all. Well worth an hour of your time. Analogous, I think, to America’s surge for Donald Trump.

thanks, like the man said at the end; what price freedom...
That EU is a frikken octopus that is sucking the life out of its member countries.
And that is the problem.
The Leaves have just proven Ginsberg’s theorem wrong.
That has yet to be seen. If the powers that be actually allow Britain to exit the EU, then I'd agree. It is entirely possible that TPTB will overturn this vote, and would be a great example of exactly how the theorem operates.
A government that cannot abide by the consent of the governed has no legitimacy . Hence the Federal government of the US surrendered it’s legitimacy when it overruled the states on gay marriage.
This is utter nonsense. One of the principal criticisms against direct democracy is that it does result in "uninformed decisions with catastrophic consequences," as any casual reading of the history of Athens will demonstrate. If a demos has its decisions overturned by another body in government that is superior to it, then you don't have a democracy at all, you have an oligarchy or a republic, (equally noted is the tendency of a republic to turn into an oligarchy - ours has. That is, however, another conversation).
It is dismaying to hear this from a Yale professor - of economics, incidentally - who presumably ought to know the difference. It is less dismaying to hear it from J. K. Rowling, a spinner of fairy tales whose hefty bank account appears to have conferred a sense of political acumen for some unknown reason. The EU, however, is not Hogwarts, and the people in charge aren't faculty imbued with magical superpowers, even if occasionally they act that way.
Exactly. I can’t imagine what these people think democracy is.
That said, I’m not an advocate for direct democracy on a large scale (national matters). Works OK for smaller countries like Switzerland and on local issues. But not a great idea for entire large countries.
Still, if you’re going to have a national referendum, then you have to abide by the result. If they didn’t intend to do that, they should not have held the election in the first place. Seems more than dishonest to hold an election if you have no intention of abiding by the results should it not go your way.
They are playing with fire here.
Why is “white” an insult? Why is “old” an insult?
Don’t forget “white”. What a bunch of racists!
