Will On The European Constitution

I’ve said it before: EUROPE NEEDS TO REJECT THE CONSTITUTION IT’S NOW CONSIDERING.

GEORGE WILL ECHOES THE SAME, WITH PARTICULARS ABOUT SOME OF THE NUTTINESS THAT WOULD BE ENSHRINED IN THE CONSTITUTION.

UPDATE: My apologies for the lack of the link to the George Will piece! Didn’t realize it wasn’t there. Let’s hope the French vote totally derails this constitution. As Will makes clear, it’s got a lot of really nutty stuff in it.

  1. I just hope that if they reject this they won’t get something even worse in a few years.

  2. Rejecting constitution? Done in France (but the reasons are not necessarily the good).
    Let’s now prau and act for the futur to be better…from a christian point of view.

  4. I just hope that if they reject this they won’t get something even worse in a few years.
    For every silver lining there is a cloud…

  5. Unless my browser is really screwed up, Jimmy didn’t link to the Will piece. It’s available
    here     with (I believe) no need for registration.

  6. I found Will’s article on the Chicago Sun Times website and it is, as usual, good. However from that same site Mark Steyn also writes about the vote also.

    I found this very interesting from his article:
    So, a couple of days before the first referendum, Jean-Claude Juncker, the “president” of the European Union, let French and Dutch voters know how much he values their opinion:
    “If at the end of the ratification process, we do not manage to solve the problems, the countries that would have said No, would have to ask themselves the question again,” “President” Juncker told the Belgian newspaper Le Soir.
    Got that? You have the right to vote, but only if you give the answer your rulers want you to give. But don’t worry, if you don’t, we’ll treat you like a particularly backward nursery school and keep asking the question until you get the answer right. Even America’s bossiest nanny-state Democrats don’t usually express their contempt for the will of the people quite so crudely.
    –Hope you all enjoy. It will be fun to see what they all do. I’m sure the intelligentia will be in a real tizzy after all the work they put in to put together a 448 Article Constitution which gives them total control of the masses.

  8. I believe Brittany is blue because it doesn’t really want to be part of France, so being part of the EU is better.
    But I could be wrong.

  9. I just now read on Google News that polls indicate 59 percent of the Dutch are against the EU constitution. Looks like it’s got to be reworked.
