President of the EU Parliament Slams Britain For "Violating the Rules:" "It Is Not The EU Philosophy That The Crowd Can Decide Its Fate"
Democracy can't be left in the hands of the filthy commoners.
Zero Hedge also excerpts this good Matt Taibi column about "the elites" (sneer quotes definitely sneering) who are constantly seeking little exceptions to the democratic practice in certain circumstances-- those circumstances being every single time they don't get their own way. David French wonders if the filthy commoners aren't getting to the point of offering the (sneer quotes) "elites" the exact same level of loyalty the "elites" offer they themselves.Is it any wonder that citizens of one of the greatest and strongest nations in human history would recoil from an international order that was proving mainly that it could enrich an elite without seeming to lift a finger to preserve the nation’s core values and traditions -- the very things that had made it great and strong? Is it any wonder that citizens of other great countries are -- wondering what loyalty they owe to that same elite?

Europe isn't one thing. It's a bunch of overlapping organizations. Britain is still in NATO. Britain was never in the Euro. Britain was never in the Schengen Zone. Britain has voted to exit the EU.
Now there will be two years of negotiations over the terms of leaving the EU. People who negotiate seek self-interest, so if it turns out to still be a good idea to have no tariffs on coal and steel they will agree to have no tariffs on cold and steel.
All they're getting rid of is Brussels telling them not to use Imperial measures and all of the other minutiae which petty desk tyrants like to tyrant about.

"It was a general what you call buyers remorse, he said. It included everyone---the people who voted for leave, those who voted for remain and those who didn't vote."
I am getting the feeling that these people truly don't understand what is supposed to happen when they actually lose a vote. It does not bode well for November

To a leftist who once said something to this effect, I replied, "Well, I'm sure President Palin will appreciate your cooperation."
His reaction was priceless. It never occurred to him that the people in charge might not be to his liking.
Similarly, to a black friend who advocated taking from the wealthy to assist the poor, I replied that we should tax American blacks to send the money to their brethren in Africa. "After all, you have so much, and they have so little." A long silence ensued...

Go back and read Lenin and Engels. They wee obsesses not just with socialism as a concept, but with the necessity of its internationalness. That is why First the Bolsheviks and then Lenin and then Stalin went to EXTREME lengths to conquer and then bring into the fold of the USSR all the surrounding nations -- starting with ByeloRussia and Ukraine in the early '20s, and the the baltic states and then the Caucasus states and then the central Asian states and then the Warsaw Pact nations, etc. The point was that according to the foundational document of communist theory, it must be transnational, for otherwise it will devolve into nationalism -- as famously seen in the National Socialist Workers' Party, aka the Nazis, who championed national socialism as opposed to international socialism, which they vowed to destroy.
The EU is nothing more than the exact same dream as the USSR, but with its capital about 500 miles further west. That's the only difference.
The Brexit vote is one of the major turning points in human history, precipitating the popular rejection of international socialism, which was the surviving variant after Fascism and Naziism were defeated by force.

Unarmed peasants or not, a pissed off Englishman is a force to be reckoned with, and they were already pissed off after decades of effed up EU rule.
And if the average Brit finds in his blood and in his bones, the stuff of what it has always meant to be an Englishman in this world, then belt yourselves in for a show.
Centuries of history shows that they do tend to resolve things in a rather bloody manner, there.

Then again I've wondered how much of his leftism is a trendy pose to keep him employed with a lot of radical publications. He'll tell you how he's oh so hateful of righties, but a few years ago when Taibbi wrote out what he'd change about American government... Ed Morrisey (at least I think it was him), liked his ideas; none of them were exactly revolutionary.
Would love to know what Taibbi's reaction was when Tony Snow died; I know they spoke at least once, on Real Time With Bill Maher.

Here's what Big Businesses and banks like today (and tell me this is not F'ed up):
-- flat GDP is okay
-- high unemployment is okay
-- debt-spending to the max
-- free money to lend
-- retail!, retail!, retail!

Obviously we have the Athenian democracy as something that ancient writers and the founding fathers hated on one end. However, I don't think our founding fathers could see a government that would become a lifetime job of self enrichment, lobbyist, etc. concentrated in a imperial city on the Potomac.
The people have to take some of the blame for not picking better representatives and leaders, however the thing is so corrupt now that I don't know how you fix it without a major crisis in the country. Even if the people wise up now, they can't fix it with current tools.
A direct people vote of "yes or no" on
1. congressional budgets
2. big foreign policy adventures
3. government employee pay
4. changes in terms of office for politicians and judges
5. Or things like that..you get the point
What we need is a check on political hacks, lobbyists, big money, etc. and the best check is a direct vote / veto of the people on certain things. Basically a fourth branch of government - The referendum.
Plus it is a good political position to take - you know fighting for the people to have a say in government against the crony capitalist/political elite sounds like something younger people might be willing to listen to after they have been screwed over enough.
I don't want a direct democracy on everything or a majority of things, heck even Athens did not have that (a council, etc. for day to day running of the state), but something (a force) that will check and balance a system that is no longer in check or balanced.

They also have a point. The unwashed masses are idiots and too stupid to participate in politics. We just disagree as to why they are idiots. They say it because when they don't get their way. I say the masses are idiots for continuously electing them and, in the rare instances when they don't, it's generally because they didn't get the unicorn they were promised... but they're still demanding Skittle Shitting Unicorns... plus reparations for not having a unicorn all this time.
The lesson tone learned is a simple one that that a bunch of smart guys tried to teach the world a little over 200 years ago: large, centralized government is fucking idiotic and there is no uniform standard of anything to which all the world aspires. They even wrote something down about, "government of, by and for the people" and powers not expressly granted to the government being retained by the states and ultimately the people.
In other words, if you want a fucking unicorn, get off your couch, go find one, stop expecting other people to support you while unicorn hunting since its your choice, you believe in unicorns, and it's no one else's problem. When you discover that there indeed are no unicorns and you're broke, as everyone tried to tell you, it's still your fucking problem. Go find employment that does not involve unicorns. Yes, that will be harder for you than everyone else because, while they were gaining real experience and producing value, your stupid ass was hunting unicorns. Get to the back of the line and eventually, someone might stop laughing at what a jackass you are long enough to give you a chance to prove you learned from your mistakes.

Oh, and by the way let me say my friend Kevin Williamson is absolutely correct. White working class communities in the USA deserve to die. They are killing themselves and their families. No one is making them do it. No one is putting a bottle in their hand. Immigrants aren't making them cheat on their wives or snort OxyContin Obama isn't walking them into the lawyer's office to file a bogus disability. The lazy white working class should lower their sights and underbid wages to the 60 million immigrants we GOP-e opened the borders for to benefit the Donor Class. Those manufacturing plantes the white working class used to work in are no located in China or Mexico making the same products but paying workers two dollars a day with no environmental or safety standards, just as the historic economist David Ricardo prescribed, so that the transnational post-American Donor Class Elites can access that USA consumer market with cheaper labor. So get off your asses and move to China or Mexico where the jobs are, you worthless white working class!

Soros' statement here is designed to lay the blame for it at the feet of the British commoner, the Brexit voter.

As a Moron pointed out earlier today, it is no small irony that East German Merkle would want to keep people from exiting. Perhaps she should suggest a wall to keep people IN.

What if I told you there's a nifty machine that automatically craps out a cooked egg? Crack an egg, deposit the egg in the top hole, and a minute later a rolled up cooked egg is literally pushed out of the hole.

I went on a business trip to Germany about 12 years ago. From the air
before landing in Frankfort am Main, I saw these HUGE buildings. I went
out to Darmstadt. I must have been the only person to buy a ticket for
the light rail.
Most Germans live in apartments. They are worker bees. They are prisoners.

If you go there again rent a car. Plenty of Germans live in houses. Plenty of them even own their own houses. Besides, if you have a car, you get to drive on the Autobahn. Where there is a speed limit, it is usually over 80 MPH.

Its really neat, especially the parts about heroism and the seeds of freedom. Those rallies of Romanian people at the end, literally hundreds of thousands of people in the streets saying "FU" to the communist leaders... that's just inspiring.

Well, the British Empire used to be astoundingly powerful. Then the whole conquest/ colony thing went out of fashion. Bit of transition, then they became ever more powerful, even though they were just a tiny couple of islands.
Then they abandoned being British and embraced the political, social and economic policies that the opposed Communist Russia for while Russia gave that shit up as a bad job.
So, now they're vanilla Euro country #2,386.82 with communism light (socialism) with absolutely nothing left of their centuries old identify except for a bunch of layabouts they they insist on bowing to even though they have no purpose.

Kind of like the British working in the civil service in India before independence.
The more that I think about it the fact that a large number (although fewer every year as they die off) of British people experienced the EU system from the other side and recognized that they were being treated like natives in the British colonies. Then the British have also been subjected to decades of miniseries like "Jewel In the Crown", "Heat of the Sun" and "Indian Summers" and perhaps the British are less sympathetic to a bunch of bureaucrats who claim the authority to rule every aspect of their lives but who views them with absolute contempt.

The guy talks about the problems of Democracy - of Majority Rule. He doesn't understand that in a REPUBLIC the Constitution is the check on raw majority rule. That's why the concept of a Living Constitution is such a problem. A Living Constitution is a constitution that bends to majority rule!
