This
is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.
When
British voters cast ballots tomorrow on whether to remain in or leave the
European Union, they will probably be deciding much more than that narrow
question. This referendum may be
freedom’s last chance in Europe.
Nations
across the continent are already facing crushing regulation and galloping
socialism dictated by unaccountable bureaucrats in Brussels. The European Union says they aren’t allowed
to control their borders or set their own immigration policies. And their citizens are prosecuted for speech
the Eurocrats, Islamists and the transnational left deem to be “hateful.”
If
Britain does exit, there’s a chance that not just its people, but others across
Europe will break free, too.
If,
however, the Brits yield to the coercive threats from elites on both sides of
the Atlantic, liberty and national sovereignty will continue inexorably to
erode, over there and here, as well.
This
