The EU was set up to be 'against us'.Oct 28th, 2008 - 17:37:11

The EU is an inherently unrepresentative, nondemocratic kleptocracy which serves to diminish the sovereignty of it's 'member' states for the enrichment of itself.

It was sold to europeans as a trading bloc and has morphed into a stifling, oppressive, uncaring bureaucracy that seeks to regulate (control) everything from the speed limit to the bend in Bananas and width of a toothbrush head.

It was also sold to europeans with the promise that it would be set up as a 'counterweight' to the USA and therefore it has been reflexively anti-American in it's actions.

While I am sure Obama will be more than happy to cede American sovereignty and decision making to this glorified Mafia Americans need to be on guard against an organization that basically exists to diminish our power and influence.

By the way, ''You're either with us or against us.'' refers to ''You're either with us or against us in the fight against terror.'' A statement made by Bush after islamist terrorists flew aircraft full of people in to buildings full of people. Why would you NOT want to be 'with us' in a fight against those monsters? A rhetorical question. With a few notable exceptions the EU has proven not to be with us.

Correct. The only thing missing are the swastikas and the ovens. Don't worry, they're coming.

The EU's idea of multilateralism is telling Americans what to do.

After passing GATT and WTO, the euros proceeded to trot out the 'CE' specification, a way to keep American goods out of Europe and raise the cost of Americans doing business there. It got so bad, they actually tried to tell GE that THEY were to approve the design of jet engines going on Airbus planes, in their entirity, as opposed to writing spec's for GE to incorporate into what was GE's own designs.

That is the real face of the EU. Honestly, after the last century, it is bewildering how the populace has laid down for this loss of sovereignty.
