PJM Groningen: [1] Make no mistake: newly-elected conservative European leaders did not win their elections because they are pro-American, they won despite it, says PJM correspondent Michael van der Galien.
Yes, well, forgive me, but that sounds an awful lot like the nonsense we were fed from Chuckles the Clown Schumer [2] the other day. There is an almost Orwellian quality to these claims of success despite our actions… an all out effort to set in stone the idea that what we see happening, is it really happening, and even if it is, it isn’t because of the dreaded right-wingers..
It’s quite clear to me, in light of this link, that what we’re dealing with here is yet another attempt to divert attention or at least divert blame, from the abject failure that leftism is.
Look, even in those situations where those European voters still holding Anti-American views, voted for rightist candidates, the fact of the matter is, that they voted against their fellow leftists, because of the failure that they represent. In each case, France, the Netherlands, wherever… leftism is being rejected, on immigration and integration problems, on the absolutely horrendous state of the economy in each case, etc..
What we are dealing with here, is a European voting public that is being forced into dealing with reality. van der Galien may very well be speaking the truth when he says that European voters to maintain an instinctive dislike of Americanism, but the fact is, in large number they have decided that it is less destructive to them and their interests, than is the leftism that they’ve been nursing for the last 50 years or so.
