Brexit and Our Declaration of Independence

___It has been 240 years since English colonists in America declared their independence from King George and Parliament in England. Now the English in England have declared their independence from the European Union with the Brexit vote of 51.9%. In the former it was “taxation without representation.” In the latter it was essentially the same since the United Kingdom's role was minimized as one of 26 member states while being taxed heavily as the second largest economy. Certainly uncontrolled immigration and national sovereignty were major concerns.

___The people's rejection of ruling by distant elites can also be applied to the 2016 elections in the United States. The “less-educated” - according to the WSJ - voted to leave the EU. The Americans who want a change in the political establishment in Washington, D.C. probably have spent less time in the government schools emphasizing “Common Core.” The secular Humanists in universities want to eradicate God, have taxpayer-funded abortion and sex education, have free college and student loan forgiveness, have high minimum wage, have national blessing of the LBGT lifestyle and taxpayer funding for the consequences (HIV, AIDS, Zika, etc). Ignorant graduates when asked to define “democratic socialism” describe “being social and caring about others” instead of the ideology of Marx and Lenin.

___The Progressives want a North American Union with no borders between Mexico-U.S. or U.S.-Canada, unrestricted immigration in the NAU and the Amero as the common currency. They have promised punishment for the U.K starting with “moving to the back of the line” for trade. If anything, trade with the U.K. should be as unrestricted as that with Canada. It was appropriate for Trump to speak on their behalf from the U.K. Our economic relationship should blossom under a Trump presidency. What we both need is another Margaret Thatcher! She was Reagan's mentor and helped to dismantle European socialism. It needs to happen again.
