#1 We're gonna save a fortune consolidating embassies. Even better, big campaign contributors will now get ambassadorships to Angola and Pakistan.

#2 Does that mean they now only get one seat in the U.N. General Assembly and 1 single seat on the security council?

If not then they United States should get 50 votes (57 if your Obama) in the general assembly.

#3 There's irony in there somewhere.

"Belgium is a country invented by the British to annoy the French."

#4 Good point, though. If the EU is a nation, they only get one seat. Both in the General Assembly and in the Security Council.

#6 It is appalling, demeaning, disgraceful that such a thing should have been done without popular consent

Democracy is a failure, according to the EU. You will now be ruled by the Council of Alphas. Your popular opinions do not matter as you're simply not qualified to comment on government. Surely you understand this and you are being ruled for your own good.

#7 There are times for ballots, and then there are times for bullets.

#9 Hannan misses one key point with his It is appalling, demeaning, disgraceful that such a thing should have been done without popular consent.

Liberty must be fought for. You long ago gave up the right to those items necessary for the fight. The birth of America was not a majority vote at the time. It was what a minority was willing to fight for and demonstrate to convince others that it was worth it.

The Brits couldn't even mount a large scale rally lik MLK. They have disappeared with nary a whimper.

UK RIP
