The weekend's European Parliament and British local county council elections were not only a victory for the center-right over the center-left. More significantly, they were indications of the growing rejection of the last 60 years of denationalized and consolidating European history. They were, particularly, a sharp assertion by many indigenous Europeans that they will not put up with losing their culture to overly assertive Islamic or other immigrants in Europe.
Which is kind of funny, because while the Euro elite's vision of a European Union is being rejected by the people of Europe (at least a bit and at least for now), America is also turning it's back on the European elites:
WHEN Europeans wish upon a star, they get an American president with a huge Third World chip on his shoulder.
Those "sophisticated" Europeans dismissed "cowboy" Bush as a rube beneath their contempt. If the continent's opinion-makers could've changed their voter registrations, they would've flown to Chicago to vote for Barack Obama last fall.
They got what they wanted. But it isn't what they expected.
President Obama may be the least Europe-friendly occupant of the White House since James Monroe (the guy who put up a "Keep Out!" sign on our hemisphere). Bam clearly doesn't like Europeans.
Europe's new Brussels-centric royalty is on its own. They'll be outlawing pitch forks and paving stones for their own protection any day now.
It's kind of funny that the Euro elites will get no help from the very American president those elites wanted in office.
Our president may want to emulate their policies, but he can do without those annoying European elites. I want the European Union and their elites to rot in Hades, though I have nothing against countries in Europe and Europeans, and wish them well as our friends and allies. In practice, as far as the EU institution goes, our wishes seem to travel together a bit.
Life can be funny that way.
