A German politician who is looking to become the next head of the EU Commission on Saturday said he wanted a bloc that rested on Christian values and did not include Turkey.

Herr Weber kinda contradicted himself with that dig against “nationalists”, which makes him a collectivist. What kind of “Christianity” does he mean?

If they can’t, they’ll make up some out of thin air no matter what they believe.

Notice Weber’s current view of Christianity and its shallowness.

All they have to do is to go to Poland.

Donald Tusk will fight tooth and nail to keep them out of the EU’s unelected government.

No it isn’t actually.

Only when we see the EU’s elite leaders panicking over such a prospect do we know that it’s heading that way. If it were, it’d be bad enough news since it means that Europe becomes a beachhead for Islamic attacks on North America (even worse if such Mahometans gained control of nukes in Europe); but they have a far different plan in mind.

Too little, too late. We’re working on a similar fate.

He probably means a Christendom like in the 10th century where you had petty kings etc. and you had nations divided up among those rulers but everyone self identified as Christian.
