I totally hate to throw cold water on this truly glorious celebration,

But … But … But … They — the Europeans — willingly (sort of) chose, or accepted (without the riots in the streets for “other” reasons), the Lisbon Treaty giving up voting rights and sovereignty of their nations to a body of unelected elites who will ultimately rule with the “input” of the OIC. In 25 or 35 years Europe will be Islamic (Islamist?) plurality or majority with a totalitarian (Islamist?) EU at the helm.

What does this say? Do they “trust” all will be well and that their rulers will remain benign, even with such unchecked powers?

If Obama rules until 2016, we will surely be “guided” by the “global norms” of the U.N. and the same OIC. Which totalitarian nations will be our allies?

Does this “treasure” the “blessings” of freedom promised by the fall of Soviet Communism?
