THE EUROPEAN UNION WILL NEVER BE THE UNITED STATES

Today, the 4th of July, we celebrate US Independence Day. It marks a sharp contrast with its postmodern rival, the European Union. With tomorrow's referendum in Greece, the difference between the two Unions couldn't be more evident.

America is celebrating today its 239th birthday. People knew better back then how to organize a free country. Case in point, the European Union. Europeans are taught to believe that Liberty is some vague abstraction that allows you to wear whatever you want. Democrats often confuse the ballot box with Liberty. The logic follows, that the EU couldn be fixed with more democracy, an elected Commission, or whatever. This will do nothing for freedom. The essence of Liberty is not a Government chosen by a majority, but a Government that protects our inherent rights and is subordinated to the people. In Europe this concept of Liberty does not exist; it never has.
