Why the Irish voted no.

Friday, June 27th, 2008

The Irish referendum on the new EU Treaty (renamed from Constitution after being voted down by two other countries) resulted in a horrifying (to EU bureaucrats) NO vote. I wonder why. Maybe they have been watching German television. Of course, that Youtube video has already vanished from the European server. You can only see it in the US now.

If Obama wins the election this fall, we get to see what it is like to be ruled like Europeans.

The decline of Britain

Monday, March 10th, 2008

Last week, the Labour Party broke its promise to the people of Britain and adopted the EU Constitution, which removes the sovereignty of Britain without a vote of the people. Previously, France and the Netherlands had rejected it in a referendum. The EU bureaucrats then came up with a way to avoid the embarrassing rejection of their work by the voters. They eliminated the referendum. The same Constitution became a “treaty” and thereby could be ratified by the parliaments without a direct vote of the people. So far, only Spain has actually approved the treaty by vote and the same electorate then chose the Socialists as a new government. That is no coincidence.
