Wishful thinking on the part of the Euros. If we become irrelevant, Europe becomes part of the caliphate (and irrelevant).

I was going to post a comment but decided it wasn’t worth my time.

I was then that I realized just how irrelevant THEY are.

Who cares what they think!!!

That future Caliphate called Europe is calling us irrelevant? I have great faith that the American people will get their act together and we will turn things around. That’s likely to start in about a year. Who in their right mind expects Europe to do so. Not me.

We are on the verge of irrelevance. Progressives have infiltrated and perverted all levels of American government and society, and are twisting and contorting everything they touch to make us more like Europe. The best, perhaps only hope that I can see is the Tea Party, which is filled with people who routinely ask the question “how did we get here”. And thankfully, there’s enough information available to easily answer that question. We Americans have always performed the best when we have had our backs up against the wall.

You’re-a-pee-on or European. You pick.

Hmmmm, I imagine it’s like it is with many of us. We have a view of Europe that is skewed and they have one of us that is skewed. True there are elements of truth in both points of view. But the whole truth? No, not even close.

If this writer’s point of view is typical of the common European it’s no wonder they are always surprised at what we do here in America. They just don’t get us... and that is probably a very good thing.

Typical leftist Eurotrash mindset. I would rather be irrelevant than extinct which is the inevitable course Western Europe has taken.

The fact that a European writer notices that America is becoming less influential is NOT diminished by a stream of posters that bray about Europe being more irrelevant. I, for one, do not care how irrelevant Europe is, and continues to be. I care FAR more about the fact that our decline continues, and that we need to do something about it.

Irritating piece because it’s so full of shallow misconceptions. Europeans understand America the way a 12 year old understands romance.

The gentleman that wrote this has a very simplistic view of America. Therefore anything he writes concerning America is intellectually flawed and not worth discussing.

The further we stray from our founding principles and the more we become like Europe, the less relevant we become. But what does that say about Europe?

The bottom line is this: It is better to be in a state of 'becoming' irrelevant than to already BE irrelevant. At least we still have opportunities to reverse our fortunes.

Europeans now define their sophistication by how appallingly ignorant they can be about the United States.

led the move to impeach Bill Clinton for his affair with intern Monica Lewinsky.

Ahhhhhh, no. Impeached for lying under oath to a Federal court. The Federal judge was actually a student of Bubba's when he TAUGHT LAW SCHOOL. For this, he was fined by same judge $95,000 and had his license suspended for 5 years.

"Is America On The Verge Of Irrelevance? (The view from Europe?)"

Yes, and that's a good thing. Our government will default at all levels (thanks to lack of manufacturing and crazy government spending), and Europeans have no honest business regarding our domestic policies.
