International News Title: The twilight of the elites...in the European Union Signs of that happening come to us with additional news in a similar vein this month. For one example, can you name the youngest national leader in the world right now? If you said Emanuel Macron you’re probably in the majority, but you’re also wrong. Macron is already almost an old man compared to the guy who is set to take power in Austria. That would be 31-year-old Sebastian Kurz, leader of the reinvigorated People’s Party (OeVP), who is about to topple the Socialist Democrat establishment in his nation. This has resulted in what the Washington Times’ Wesley Pruden describes as, “An Austrian thumb in the eye of the elites.” But the new Austrian chancellor, youthful as he is, represents just the kind of new blood that Kennedy brought to the fore in the new world. He has achieved something close to rock-star status. He took over a fading political party whose party colors were black and black, replaced them with turquoise, rebranded the party as “a movement,” promised to get tough on runaway immigration, go easy on new taxes but to stay in Europe and “put Austria first.” Did Kurz come up with “put Austria first” as a copy of Trump’s America First or did they arrive at those catchphrases independently? At this point, it doesn’t really matter. But there’s more of a similarity here than simple sloganeering. Check out the details of the Kurz platform which the Daily Mail described with palpable alarm. Some of this may ring a bell to American observers of politics. (Emphasis added) Kurz, dubbed the Conservative Macron due to his age and his party reform, said: ‘I would of course like to form a stable government. If that cannot be done then there are other options,’ adding that he planned to talk to all parties in parliament but would first wait for a count of postal ballots that begins on Monday. Kurz may form a coalition with either the now weakened Social Democrats or with the more right-wing Freedom Party. But he’s also indicating a willingness to simply go it alone if he can’t structure a deal in keeping with his campaign pledges. But Kurz isn’t the only one. The Czech Republic, also part of that same eastern block, is closing in on their own elections and if the current polling is remotely accurate the race won’t be all that close. Their next leader is most likely to be a far less youthful, but equally revolutionary gentleman who is being referred to as “the Czech Trump” or “the new Berlusconi,” depending who you ask. 63 year old Andrej Babis is the leader of the ANO party and is on track to take control. He’s similarly alarmed the defenders of the status quo with comments about how he is, “done with multiculturalism.” (The Telegraph) To be clear, I don’t believe any of this signals the absolute end of the European Union, nor will the socialist tendencies of their more western member countries be completely subsumed any time soon. Neither Kurz nor Babis is signaling an immediate move toward leaving the EU and both of their nations still benefit greatly from trade through that organization. But at the same time, they have no interest in having Brussels micromanage the affairs of their respective nations and they want their borders to be secured. And seeing how well Hungary has done in thumbing its nose at the EU, both of these men have little reason to fear reprisal. “Make Europe Great Again?” Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest Begin Trace Mode for Comment # 14. #3. To: Tooconservative (#0) (Edited) Great Post. Multiculturalism (which let the Muslims in who are terrorizing Europe & America) is a failed experiment, and virtually every politician who has supported it has either already been defeated, or soon will be. Very soon, the EU will be either be completely disbanded, or else be forced to abandon its "open borders" policy if it is to have any chance of survival. Next, all NATO nations that continue to embrace Islam (the 7th head of Satan) will be kicked out, leaving the prophesied 24 Christian nations which are to rule the Earth for Jesus for a glorious 1000 years! It cannot fail to come to pass because Jesus said it and He doesn't lie.
#9. To: interpreter (#3) Great Post. Multiculturalism (which let the Muslims in who are terrorizing Europe & America) is a failed experiment, and virtually every politician who has supported it has either already been defeated, or soon will be. You are FUCKIN' NUTCASE.
#10. To: buckeroo (#9) You are FUCKIN' NUTCASE. You are the only nutcase. Can you name even one multi-culturist who has been reelected? Granted, the election in Germany is still up in the air, but Merkel, I'm pretty sure, will ultimately be defeated if she does not change her stance on immigration. Very soon there will be 23 other "politically incorrect" presidents/PM's just like Trump who will likewise build a wall around their nation, and they will rule the Earth for a thousand years unimpeded by the last head of Satan.
#11. To: interpreter (#10) I know you "want" all this multiculturalism BS to go away ... but realize (assuming you can) that it is a pipe dream. The Europeans are socialists and they like foreign nationals invading their respective countries. Get over it and put down the pipe.

The Europeans are socialists and they like foreign nationals invading their respective countries. Get over it and put down the pipe. Nope. It is no pipe dream. I "paraphrased" it a bit, but it was Jesus who originally said it, not me. And He doesn't tell any fibs. There may still be some "socialists" in power, depending entirely on how you want to define that term, but they definitely wont be of the multi-cultural variety.
Replies to Comment # 14. You can't get anything right or in proper perspective. All your predictions suck. All your comments on current events suck; so why not change your monicker to: "I suck?"
