The EEC was originally designed to prevent another war (and incidentally give France predominance in Europe). The EU is an extension and progression, designed to improve the lives of Europeans by giving the French more power over other Europeans. Why is there a need to make everything about the US of A? Its clearly all about France.

We'd have to get rid of Quebec, or require them to speak English.

God, stop it with the damn France-bashing already...
At least put it on a par with Germany. And it's not like we haven't had our own little power-tantrums every now and then.

How about we beat the French to it and just call ourselves the Evil Empire?

Clear Skies: I think crunchy was talking about the creation of the EEC in the 1950s where West Germany's role was to shut up, do as it was told, and sign the checks on time. Believe it or not the French wore the pants back then and Germany most certainly was the one in the dress.

I found this amusing.
Its a BBC report from 1963 about de Gaulle vetoing UK entry into the EEC.

I'll stop when they stop.
French stands on issues are becoming increasingly untenable. They are after raw power in Europe and no longer care about right and wrong.

The French position is not untenable, its at odds with the American view, and that is all. The current US administration has come to the conclusion that the best way to get what they want is to demonise opposition, be it domestic or foreign. Given that the most prominent foreign opposition is from France it means they are the principle target.
The nonsense about France coming from the US would be laughable if it wasn't so worrying.

Easy, she would threaten to throw the UK out of the EU ocne and for all.
You could then watch the britneys running back to where they belong faster than a puppy being called by its master.

Dont forget that the UK was begging for entry in the EU.
Their application had been rejected twice before they were allowed to enter (propably because of sheer annoiance).

Why not? Think of it, millions upon millions of liberal voters to drown out the social conservatives of this country! tougher gun laws, an end to the idiotic abortion debates! And the cryotp-racist in places like Britian and Australia would be demolished by the fact that millions upon millions of non-white people would also be voting! Plus, thanks to NZ, nuclear disarmement!
Lets go for it boys! Lets destroy all them right wing nutjobs! Long Live the News Anglo Empire!

BC,
Demonizing the opposition is hardly new. I dislike it as much as you, but unfortunately just about any politician does it.

That's a pretty nice picture you paint, GePap. It would be nice if the Brits/Canucks/Aussies/Kiwis would be able to so effectively mitigate our more worrisome extremists. But somehow I'm not so certain of that. Something tells me that the Religious Right would get together with the BNP and any similar groups they could find and be just as much of a PitA as now.
