  • We see it as divisive of the West, and indeed divisive of "European" civilization itself; as implicitly, and often explicitly, anti-American; as already, and with the promise of worse to come, an (immensely corrupt) bureaucratic and regulationist nightmare; as contrary to the law-and-liberty tradition; and, fatally, as missing any real sense of how the feeling of citizenship arises ” something that cannot be elicited by appeals or compulsions on behalf of a supranational entity.
