from looking at the european blogs, i sense a lot of displeasure within the EU, like this comment:

No political system can impose the economic losses on citizens that the ECB has done in the past 18months and hope to avoid a popular revolt. National governments who sold membership of the EU to their electorate on the basis of prosperity cannot now hold onto power in the face of the opposite economic dynamic. The EU, through the agency of its rogue ECB, is making de facto slaves of its former citizens in a dozen countries, whilst enriching a handful of corporations and individuals, some of which are not even based inside the EU.

From what I can gather, that was the whole point of the EU. Basically corporatization.

The same methods are playing out everywhere. Transfer of wealth from individuals to big corps and big govt. oligarchies, while your rights are replaced w/ privileges. Slavery is alive and well in the 21st century.

I'd probably believe that if you're grammar wasn't so horrible.

Ok. 7th grade. That gives a little insight.

Some more questions on this liberal indoctrination conspiracy?

Since globalism has been promoted not just by the known liberals -- but also by Reagan, Bush 1, Gingrich, and Bush 2 -- were they all liberal, as well?

Thanks!

Wow! Had no idea. Thanks.

Sure would make a lot of would-be "real" Texas Conservatives feel silly to know that. So we will keep it between us?

See the Death Penalty, Hang 'em High Stuff, and the "Bring It On," and Mission Completed Fairy Flight Suit stuff and all -- I bet most folks would have picked "conservative" on that one.

Now how about Reagan, Bush 1, and Gingrich? Liberals, too, right? right? Am I getting this, yet?

you are a liberal if you think a politician knows better how to spend someone's money than the person that earned it.

European banks are far from experiencing a run. This is akin to arguing banks in Rhode Island and South Carolina look like they are in rough shape so the big banks in New York and Chicago are about to go under. Before they remotely risk the big German or French banks, the EU will basically kick any insolvent banks in troubled countries out of the EU banking system.
