Watch it all ... IT'S WORTH IT. It's not every day you get to hear the leader of the socialist party basically called a nazi imperialist in European Parliament, leading to the demand of an apology ... and one of the best non-apologies I have EVER heard.
============
"We DON'T want that flag. We DON'T want the anthem. We DON'T want this political class. We want this thing consigned to the dustbin of history."
"WHO THE HELL do you think you people are?!"
"If you rob people of their identity, if you rob them of their democracy, all they are left with is nationalism and violence."
==============
"Ein volk. Ein reich. Ein fuhrer." Translation: A nation. An empire. A fuhrer.
"He is an undemocratic fascist."
"I ask you to leave the chamber at this point."
"I call on him to apologize, and if he does not do so he must leave the chamber."
"Yet again, yet again, there is one rule for Herr Schultz, and one rule for the rest of us. This is a disgrace, I have been elected, relected, to vote in this chamber, by the people of Yorkshire, your own constituency might I add, with a Democratic mandate, which you do not enjoy Mr. President yourself, because you switched parties. I HAVE NO INTENTION OF APOLOGIZING. I HAVE NO INTENTION OF LEAVING THE CHAMBER. YOU MUST HAVE ME ESCORTED OUT SIR!"
that speech by the ukip guy is a jewel. i know in the british parliament, it is acceptable to drown the speaker with boos and hisses even while he has the floor. i do not know if that is acceptable in the make-believe 'european parliament' or not. but either way, the stunned silence and gloom on the faces of those men seated was the look of men who know the jig is, indeed, up.
a bailout for spain? please. there is no more money. the game is over.
The EU will soon go the way of the Dinosaur. Will the union of American states, otherwise known as the US of A? Or do people think we're somehow immune? That monetary "physics" cease to exist at our shores? Spain = California. Portugal = Illinois. How many states, and state pensions worth BILLIONS, do the rest of us have to bail out? And if we don't, when do the riots start?

It's worse than that. The potential rioters are in a big hole to be able to protest.
1. So many people are duped that they riot to keep their socialism. They have no logic. Even as the gov't destroys the middle class, they insist that the gov't do more.
2. People are behind the curve. The US gov't is moving to take control of the food supply. Food! What happens when we start getting central planners making decisions about food?
We have TSA training tens thousands and dispersing them to the states. We have cops w/ body armor looking like soldiers. We have the state growing various militias, and preparing to maintain control...regardless of what the people want.
