EU To Push For Superstate, Confirming The Need For Secession

It appears that Britain chose to flee the EU at just the right time, as the EU is now pushing ahead to become a superstate that will dissolve its members' sovereignty and establish a continental empire of massive taxing, spending, regulation, and wealth-redistribution (i.e., a Fourth Reich). People such as I have been warning about this for years, only to be labeled "conspiracy theorists." Well, the conspiracy is not a theory, it's an undeniable reality. What began as an experiment in international relations is now a Frankenstein's monster of supranational abuse. Even worse than its predecessors, this iteration of the continental empire will either be deracinated or, given enough time, Islamic.

All governments become as powerful as they possibly can. It's an iron law of human nature, more certain even than the law of supply and demand. No government can be "limited," at least not for long. America's own Constitution set forth clear rules for a limited federal government exercising a paltry few functions, yet less than eighty years later that government brutally destroyed the sovereignty of the member states, and now we have an unrestrained national government that does whatever it pleases. You don't have to take my word for it -- a celebrated federal appeals judge, Richard Posner, recently remarked that it's a waste of time for judges to study the Constitution because it has no relevance to modern American life, thereby admitting that he's disavowing his oath of office, that there is no rule of law to restrain government, and that our fates are at the mercy of curs like him.

The lesson is to keep governments small and numerous because no internal restraints will last; only external restraints do. Wherever an oversized government exists, it should be chopped down to size through secession. The Brexit struck a blow for liberty by frustrating the EU's designs and by sparking the secessionist impulse, not only in Europe but also here in the United States. The treasonous sentiments of Posner and his ilk are laid bare and  contain the seeds of their own destruction -- if the Constitution is truly outdated, then so is the government that it loosed upon us.

Here's to seeing a Texit, a Califexit, any many more such exits as soon as possible.
