Progressives Proclaim Nation-States Are Obsolete




Have you noticed when liberals lose an election they claim the electorate are a bunch of uneducated toddlers throwing temper tantrums at the polls?  They dismiss voters with a condescending attitude with remarks such as, the peasantry has voted against their own interest.  When it comes right down to it, progressives whether foreign or domestic have a problem with democracy.  What they want are unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats to run our lives without recourse, or due process which is what the European Union is all about.


Americans could easily conflate British complaints with our own very real problems in Washington D.C.  We too have unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats running our country.  We too have global elites mocking nation-states and our representative republic.  These snobs are in government, big business, and in the media.  Eugene Robinson of the Washington Post is a perfect example of this mentality.  He recently wrote an op-ed parroting the standard globalists’ diatribe.  Here is an excerpt:


 I hope U.S. voters are paying attention. The Brexit solution is pure counterfeit but the underlying issues are real. In Britain as in this country, working-class incomes are stagnant, and immigration, to some, seems out of control. Globalization seems to benefit the well-off and well-educated at the expense of everyone else. The temptation is to take refuge in nationalism — forget the rest of the world, take care of our own, fend for ourselves. Build a wall.

That is Trump's message. But the gap between what he promises and what he can possibly deliver is even wider than in the Brexit example.

It is a cliche to say that we live in an interconnected world, but that is the truth. Globalization is a fact and cannot be repealed by referendum — or, for that matter, by slogans printed on baseball caps. Nor can technological progress be reversed by any amount of ranting and raving.

According to Eugene Robinson and his ilk, the nation-state is obsolete; democracy is obsolete.  There is no such thing as a United States of America there is only an America and its going to have to join the world by forgoing sovereignty and embrace a borderless society which will be run by a priestly sect of bureaucrats and global businesses who know what’s best for you and the world because plebeians are too stupid to look out for their own self-interest.


Brexit is a repudiation of foreign, bureaucratic rule.  Donald Trump’s success at the polls is a repudiation of global elitest rule.  However, if there is one lesson to be learned from decades of progressivsm it is they don’t give up.  National sovereignty is under attack and will be for the foreseeable future.

Breaking the Shackles of Bureaucracy



Britons showed incredible courage by voting to get out of the European Union.  They have demonstrated a fundamental truth that people want control of their destiny which can only be accomplished through self-governance.  Nameless, faceless bureaucrats in a foreign capital dictating policy is the antithesis of freedom.  You might as well be a slave.

Politicians find it much easier to schlep their responsibilities onto government bureaucrats.  They can have a pencil pusher rubberstamp their ill-conceived agenda without having to face an irate citizenry.  It’s the perfect foil for unscrupulous characters whose main job is to get reelected.  Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher knew what was going on when she called out the Labor Party as demonstrated in the video below.




We in the United States have a similar problem despite what foolish libtards say.  The Constitution of the United States grants legislative authority only to Congress.  But that body has abrogated its responsibilities to unelected and unaccountable federal bureaucrats.  What is happening in Washington D.C. is a flagrant violation of our social compact.  We are being ruled by an unscrupulous president and his infestation of progressive minions.  Is it any wonder Democrats laugh when we cite the Constitution?


I think all the stuff is largely tongue-in-cheek and the situations aren't AT ALL analogous BUT: what would the vote be?



As of now, Texans are grumbling for secession and who can blame them?  We’re citizens not subjects.  You can bet Washington D.C. sees us as the latter.

Meet an EU Idiot





Meet an EU idiot.  Beverly, like most of her slavish generation, would rather have nameless, faceless, foreign bureaucrats run her life than take responsibility for self-governance. Liberty, after all, is for fascists.


According to Beverly, it was Britons over 75 years of age who voted for Brexit. She would have us believe that 52% of the population is septuagenarians?  Notice the complete lack of respect she has for her elders and the wisdom they’ve procured over the years.  But what do they know?  They’re not Beverly.


Notice she blames Brexit on racism.  Pardon me, but what race is Islam?  I’ve got news for you, Islam is not a race; it’s a political ideology in the guise of a religion. 



I can’t help but laugh at Beverly’s misery.  She, after all, called Americans
a bunch of haters. But if she truly wants to be a citizen of the European Union, she can always move.   
However, this progressive utopia may not last much longer. 

Ugly Globalist Scorns Brexit



The world’s master planners are in a panic after Britons voted to liberate themselves from nameless, faceless bureaucrats in a distant, foreign capital.  So-called leaders of the free world are aghast that plebeians raised their pitchforks and torches and stormed to the polls demanding their sovereignty back.  Who in the hell do these people think they are?  Well if you’re a bumbling boob like Joe Biden, this is nothing more than a temper tantrum.  Here is what an ugly globalist had to say about Brexit.


"We preferred a different outcome. And I imagine many of you here felt the same way," Biden said at Trinity College in Dublin." I want to assure all of you in this room that America’s special bond with the United Kingdom runs deep, and it will endure. And our relationship with Ireland and the European Union will remain the cornerstone of our global engagement."

Later Friday, VP Joe Biden sharpened his blades a bit and began hacking away at Brexit voters, calling them racists, bigots, xenophobes -- the usual suspects. 

"We see it in Europe and around the world," Biden said. "And we see it today in the United States, where some politicians find it convenient to scapegoat immigrants instead of welcoming them, play to our fears rather than appeal to our better natures, divide us based on religion or ethnicity rather than unite us in our common humanity, and build walls between nations when we should be building bridges among us."

"In the face of rising xenophobia, we must remember the dreams of our ancestors who left everything to board ships that for many became coffins. Or how many great-grandparents, and grandparents made it, but were turned away from a job and decent life."

We have a vice president of the United States lecturing people on nationalism?  Does he realize he’s a representative of a nation-state?  Is he completely clueless that borders, language and culture define a nation?

Joe Biden is obviously a lapdog for the globalist and has no business representing the interest of the American people.  As a matter of fact, Americans should contemplate their own exit strategy from Washington D.C.
