Send some sparklers and a brick of firecrackers over to Britain, June 23 is now their Fourth of July.
Let’s help them throw a real Independence Day party because Brexit will be celebrated for generations.
Good for them for exiting from the European Union peacefully. It’s nothing short of a miracle to see a modern geopolitical divorce take place at the ballot box — where it belongs — without an ounce of bloodshed.
But don’t tell Vice President Joe Biden that. As it appears, he’s already forgotten the American Revolutionary War and the Declaration of Independence.
In Dublin yesterday, he spoke of xenophobia, isolationism and nationalism. He accused Donald Trump of playing to “fears” instead of “our better angels.”
Funny, I don’t remember anyone hitting our Founding Fathers with that when they liberated 13 colonies from British rule so that we could form our own country.
No matter. The British have spoken and the votes have been counted. They’re taking their country back from EU headquarters in Brussels.
By exiting the EU, they will now have autonomy and the ability to control their own economy and borders without having their hands tied by a consortium of laws and opaque EU bureaucrats.
There’s simply nothing wrong with putting your country first. That’s what George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Robert Sherman, John Adams and Robert Livingston did.
How quickly some globalist-loving, left-wingers forget.
Come Nov. 8, patriotic Americans will send them a reminder.

It appears that the Brits are just as sick of their ruling elite as we are of ours. Thank you citizens of England, for your wise choice. Now, who’s next?
I agree. Well done my British comrades!
“Send some sparklers and a brick of firecrackers over to Britain, June 23 is now their Fourth of July.”
Can’t. Living in the formerly “Land of the Free and Home of the Brave”, can’t get firecrackers. They’re too dangerous for the peasants.
The gun grabbers grabbed fireworks first. After all, they contain GUN powder!
Heck knowing the post office/UPS, if you did try to ship some firecrackers/sprinklers over, the package would be blown up for containing possible bomb material…
Always the victim. None can see what their ‘religion of peace’ is doing wrong. Unwilling to change, they think that the kuffars should do nothing to criticise the way their ‘religion’ dictates their lives, they expect the indigenous to conform to the Islamic laws and culture, even though they are totally alien to western lifestyles and beliefs. The Islamic way is the way of the devil,the religion should be outlawed,it is a cult that brainwashed followers unable to think for themselves. They must pray 5 times a day, a reflection of the element of control and the real lack of true faith.No’God’ expects so much prayer time to show their loyalty and faith. So much is said about Muslims being the victims all the time and we have to wonder why. They hide and protect terrorists within their communities, even the women kept silent when White British girls as young as 11 years old were groomed and raped by Muslims? most countries in Europe are victims of rape perpetrated by grooming gangs. They use young Muslim men to snare young girls who are then sexually assaulted by men old enough to be their grandfathers. To keep them under control the Muslims threaten their families and in some cases they have murdered to keep their secret. Europe has opened the door to an enemy who will lie, cheat, deceive and play the victim for as long as they are able to con the silly politicians! More people like Marine Le Pen and Nigel Farage are needed in Europe, the current politicians are cowards
If the EU wasn’t such an unaccountable cesspool of anti-British weknowbestitude, the UK might have stayed. They could have made a common framework much like our own, based on personal liberty instead of economic imperative.
I give no credit to those who cite the immediate economic hit the UK took. How much worse, over time, if they are continually bled dry to prop up the unsustainable welfare states like Greece?
The world needs ditch diggers. Someone has to work. This notion of everyone simply retiring and the government pays for it is absurd.
The UK will start rising, as it has before. It remembered who it is. The EU will keep sliding into debt and decay.
Detroit and Hiroshima. You saw the pictures.
Get used to fireworks every summer. It’s the thing to do.
DrGadget, the “immediate reaction” of financial markets would have happened in ANY CASE–if only as a DELIBERATE PLOY to “punish” the Brits for their act of defiance. It is NO DIFFERENT HERE. The “financial institutions”–i.e. banks and Wall Street, etc.–are ALL in bed with the GLOBALIST CABAL, because open borders make it MUCH EASIER and less expensive to move money around and play games with currency manipulation for fun and THEIR profit at everybody ELSE’S expense.
That is why I said early-on that Ted Cruz was a GLOBALIST in sheep’s clothing, because you don’t get financial backing from somebody like Goldman-Sachs unless you ARE a globalist! It’s the old adage–FOLLOW THE MONEY!
I’ve been saying for YEARS now that they need to quit looking at Wall Street for signs of what “the economy” is doing–because Wall Street is the ANTI-ECONOMY, and their activities are usually HARMFUL to the economy at large, though it makes LOTS OF MONEY for a few hedge fund managers and investors.
But if even the Socialist-leaning Brits are beginning to REBEL against their Socialist masters, that is a GOOD sign that people are waking up to the threat the creeping Socialism/Globalism represents to ALL OF US.
And if you note, darn near every time someone sneezes the wrong way, the markets take a dump.
Brits taking their Nation back from the Socialist failure of
the EU is a great step in saving themselves from becoming
Venezuela. Two years to disengage in negotiations, I hope
they cut out completely the bureaucrats and their regulations
forcing citizens to comply with crazy thinking…..William
Too bad this model of peaceful un-coexistence couldn’t be figured out in the 1850’s. Maybe the civil war could have been avoided. If Lincoln had let the South go, I suspect “the peculiar institution” would have died peacefully of it’s own weight (as the EU looks to be doing) and by now the rebel states would have rejoined the Union. We’ll never know (because politicians, as a group, seldom see any options beyond the one they are immersed in and running.
A British Prime Minister (don’t remember which one) noted that (paraphrasing here) Alliances and enemies are never permanent. Maybe America can learn and let Texas go, then one/two by one/two the rest of the states will secceed from the Union and join the Texicans in a new Freedom-based, individual-rights dominated Federation.
About a year ago, I was talking to a young man that was moving from Holland to Luxembourg because the tax rate was over 50%. My tour guide pointed out 2 twin towers of maybe 30 stories each. The “job” of the people in both these buildings was to convert EU regulations into the language of the 27 EU countries. While there are 27 countries, England, Germany & France are the economic powerhouses. Many of the rest contribute little or negatively to the overall well being. The EU is an example of how socialist can impose mountain of rules, burdens and regulations that the populace can ill afford to pay and the whole scheme collapses. This could very well be case for the EU and England is just the first shoe to fall.
I believe that “Brexit” could very WELL trigger a mass stampede for the EU exits. Unfortunately, the power brokers in the EU have to know this, too, and you can be sure that even NOW, they are preparing to wage ECONOMIC WARFARE on Britain, buying British pounds on the currency market in MASSIVE AMOUNTS–then DUMPING them all at once on the market to make the value plummet, to make SURE they don’t prosper from their new-found freedom!
This is one of FINANCIAL TERRORIST George Soros’ FAVORITE tricks–and he has used it to DESTROY entire economies for his own profit. He nearly BANKRUPTED England once, with his games, and I have no DOUBT he will DO IT AGAIN, to “scare” other countries into staying in the EU. The GLOBALISTS/SOCIALISTS never really go away, even when they suffer a massive setback like this one–they just go underground and plot and engage in subversion from the shadows until they are able to seize power and start their nefarious power games OUT IN THE OPEN all over again.
If the “international community” were not mostly members of the GLOBALIST CABAL, they would CHARGE that evil old spider, SOROS, with FINANCIAL TERRORISM and TRY his sorry behind in an international tribunal, then put him AWAY for what is left of his MISERABLE LIFE–oh, and CONFISCATE his considerable BILLIONS to repay the DAMAGE he has done to countries’ economies!
2 towers of workers JUST to translate all the damn paperwork??
Maybe they should have LESS paperwork!!
