France EU Referendum puts Brussels in Panic Mode

Fire of Liberty

The bureaucrats in Brussels are quaking in their boots at the thought of France rejecting the 400 plus page phone-book known as the EU Constitution. Just look at what The Financial Times reported Romano Prodi, the former President of the European Commission, had to say about a rejection of the Constitution:

"There would be no more Europe. We will pass through a long period of crisis.

"The problem will not only be a catastrophe for France, but the fall of Europe."

I guess Prodi forgets that their already is a Europe (It has been around for half a millennia) and its made up of individual sovereign states. Though the supernatural United States of Europe that Prodi and his European pals envision might be put adrift, it doesn't mean that all is lost and Europe would dissolve like sugar in warm water. Bureaucrats like Prodi are only concerned about the EU because its one more way to develop the continent into a socialist paradise, which the students of '68 and various socialists like Prodi have always envisioned Europe would become.

It's amazing that when the people of France are clearly opposed to a treaty that would abrogate their nation's sovereignty as well as their own sovereignty to the huge ash-heap of humanity, the elites fall all over themselves to reverse the course of "naive" public. Maybe Prodi-an Italian-should respect the national sovereignty of the French and butt out of the EU referendum. They have read or at least tried to read this encyclopedia of a Constitution and just don't like the smell of the whole document. Maybe the people of Europe are smarter than the political/social elites pushing the EU Constitution. People don't run away from something in droves for nothing. So carry on with the "no" campaign and kill this leviathan before it's too late. Once you dissolve your nation's sovereignty for the EU, there's no turning back to the good ole days.
