Victor David Hanson - National Review frequent, and brilliant, contributor on
the European Union problem

"The E.U. constitution � and its promise of a new Europe supposedly offered a corrective to the Anglo-American strain of Western civilization. More government, higher taxes, richer entitlements, pacifism, statism and atheism would make a more humane and powerful new continent of over 400 million to outpace a retrograde United States."

JB here: To quote myself, "well that ain't gonna work." I believe the people who put together the European Union documents well qualify as "a cornucopia of scummery."
I'd add, "what have they been smoking" but I assume they probably have been smoking way too much Euro-weenie ganja. Sigh
