This
is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.
Fresh
from a two-day diplomatic rout in Saudi Arabia, President Obama has injected
himself unhelpfully into the question of whether Britain should withdraw from
the European Union, which is the subject of a hotly contested referendum in
June.
Not
surprisingly, the President is on the wrong side, supporting the imperious transnational
EU and the continued subordination of Britain’s sovereignty to its unaccountable,
socialist anti-U.S. bureaucracy and diktats.
This
is a mistake on two grounds. First, both
the United States and Britain will be better off if the UK is free to pursue its own economic, social, immigration
and foreign policies, rather than those handed down from Brussels.
And
second, the unraveling of one lousy supranational arrangement can help stave
off the similar subordination of American sovereignty that Team Obama has in
mind for us, pursuant to the so-called “TransPacific Partnership.”
This
