I may not have excerpted this well. Interesting read.

“parties of the far right lean far towards authoritarian rule”

“Right” means something completely different in Europe than it does in America. In my mind, if you’re authoritarian, you don’t belong in the American right, you belong on the other side.

Only as insight as to how these idiots think. Poorly written and chock full of incorrect observations of reality. It would take two or thee sentences to correct virtually every sentence in the article.

>> the parties of the far right lean far towards authoritarian rule and a deliberate cultivation of fear and hatred

And what “far right” parties (with more than a handful of members) might that be?

Nonetheless, Islam is a war plan.

Upshot is they hate globalization as much as we do.

I don’t know. don’t buy all this global governance b/s.

Informative about the rest of the world? Yes. Informative about the United States. not really IMO.

The world, which grudgingly and somewhat denyingly follows the U.S. politically and economically, is generally without a road-map or framework within which to work. The world is without a lighthouse or compass as a reference to steer it’s collective ship of state(s). Generally, the U.S. has been those things to the world.

This guy, John Lloyd, as so many, wants to throw the U.S. into the world’s melting pot. But the U.S. stands apart from the rest of the world in many ways and for many reasons not the least of which is the fact the U.S. is a Constitutional Republic founded on the unique presumptions of “the Laws of Nature and of Natures’ God” (Declaration of Independence).

The whole structure and text of the U.S. Constitution in the creation and limitations of the central government is based on “certain unalienable Rights [of] Life liberty and the pursuit of Happiness” (id.). The Supreme Law of the land of the United States of America is unique from any other government in the world in that is based on the presumptions stated in the Declaration of Independence that God gives man his rights, freedoms, and power, and man delegates to government certain limited powers. In America, legally, individuals come before government because individuals collectively consent to create and limit government. The Left has taken America far away from those founding presumptions.

Therefore, “social democracy” is unconstitutional because the Constitution gives the federal government no authority to meddle in matters of “social welfare”, “social justice’” or “social democracy.” Unlike the rest of the world which is ruled by the whims of man, America is ruled by the law of the Constitution which basically disallows the so-called “progressive” agenda of the Left’s “social democracy”.

I dislike this article in that it fails to make this critical distinction between the U.S. and the rest of the world and seems, rather, to ignore America’s legal and other “exceptionalism” but seems to rather assume nothing exceptional about America. In that sense, the article advances confusion, not clarity and truth.

Now under way with Trump, it is the job of lovers of America and freedom to recover America’s Free Constitutional Republic essentially ending unconstitutional federal “social democracy” regardless of what the rest of the world is doing. But as has been in the past, the world will follow in some form or fashion.
