We Won't Like What They Create

I've made no secret that I think the very idea of a European Union as Brussels envisions it would create a proto-dictatorhsip that in time would get rid of the proto part and then become a full-fledged opponent of the United States. I believe it remains in our best interest to keep anybody from controlling all of the vast resources of Europe lest they be used against us.

Mark Steyn writes about the dictatorial impulses that motivate the Brussels Euro elites:

"I really believe the French and Dutch did not vote no to the constitutional treaty," insisted Jean-Claude Juncker, the "President" of "Europe", continuing to celebrate his stunning victory in the referendum. Even if the French and Dutch had been boorish enough to want to vote no to the constitution, they would have been incapable of so doing, as the whole thing was designed to be way above their pretty little heads.

"It is not possible for anyone to understand the full text," declared Valery Giscard d'Estaing. "Europe's Jefferson" has apparently become Europe's Jefferson Airplane, boasting about the impenetrability of his hallucinogenic lyrics. The point is the French and Dutch shouldn't have read beyond the opening sentence: "We the people agree to leave it to you the people who know better than the people."


With attitudes like this, is it any wonder I worry about a united Europe? The disdain the rulers have for their own people is just astounding. And very worrisome. I don't like what they are creating right now. What could it look like in fifty years?
