President Obama and Democrats are pushing America into a class-based, social democracy styled after the EU and Obama’s Executive Orders are intended to integrate regulations with Europe. So, what do Europeans think about their union? According to former president of Germany Roman Herzog: “EU integration …. has become not just a process of depriving Europe’s peoples of their national democracy and independence. Within each member state it represents a gradual coup by government executives against legislatures, and by politicians against the citizens who elect them.” “Now that the communist threat of the Soviet Union has moved to the scrap heaps of history, we Europeans are faced with a new threat to our Liberty. That threat is not coming from a harsh, iron fisted, totalitarian regime, but from what best can be described as \’soft totalitarianism\’, directed by legions of bureaucrats with their centre of gravity lying in Brussels.” “Most people have a fundamentally positive attitude to European integration. But at the same time, they have an ever increasing feeling that something is going wrong, that an non-transparent, complex, intricate, mammoth institution has evolved, divorced from the factual problems and national traditions, grabbing ever greater competences and areas of power; that the democratic control mechanisms are failing: in brief, that it cannot go on like this.” “By far the largest part of the current laws in Germany are agreed by the (EU) Council of Ministers and not the German parliament…Therefore the question has to be asked whether Germany can still unreservedly call itself a parliamentary democracy.” Then there is Nigel Farage, Member of European Parliament, speaking to the European government “The Games is Up.” http://www.free-europe.org/english/
