I have failed to comment on an issue that is of great importance to those that fear a European superstate. The people of most European nations DO NOT WANT IT!
Last week, in a referendum that Ireland would have been forced to accept a European president and foreign minister and a usurpation of national sovereignty http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/jun/14/eu.ireland1.
By a 54%-46% vote, the Irish people rejected what has been rejected in the Netherlands, France and Denmark. These people are waking up.
There is no way other than by brute force that Europe can unite behind a superstate. Judging by what most Euroburrecrats and their socialist allies believe in how to radical Islamics, the people of the European nations have come to realize that each said nation must be able to deal with their problems on their own, not under some phony-baloney banner of unity. BTW, does that "unity" theme sound familiar?
Ireland rightfully rejected the so-called Lisbon treaty. In the cited article, the most glaring quote was from Hugo Brady:
"You don't say yes to something you don't understand," said Hugo Brady, a analyst at the Centre for European Reform think tank.
And that is the problem when the left tries to take on such issues.
By usurping rightful national identity and local custom in favor of some economic scheme that supposedly will make all the citizens of said nations financially better off is no way to sell a flawed plan.
The Irish vote has probably killed, for now, this latest attempt at creating a fallacy on its own petard. The European superstate.
And this is good for the international community.
Sovereign nations are better to deal with than a so-called community of nations that agree on very little.
Just ask the United Nations.
Ireland voters gave a boost to correct nationalism and sovereignty. Let us see now how the Eurocrats try to steam roll the people and nations.
