It is only out of the deepest love that I chastise Europe as often as I can. And why shouldnt I? It is Europe who gave the world all that is good and noble. It is Europe who gave the world the vast majority of our great modern institutions. Yes, not the USA, but Europe did all that. I am deeply saddened by Europe now submitting to savages without even the hint of a fight. I hope that answers your question.
Give me good solid examples.
With no flowery language, no emotion and no insults that way neither of us will be red Herring.
