From the Desk of the Blogger

For years we have been hearing about the challenges for freedom in the face of globalism and conflict. This blog will explore the prospects of liberty and democracy in the context of immigration, education, diplomacy, philosophy and ideology among other interests and experiences of mine.

Cheers!

Quietly, the Polish-German border dissolves

First off the allusion to T.S. Eliot's poem The Hollow Men in the first paragraph is fantastic. Borders are crucial to a nation. The EU is subverting national sovereignty and becoming a behemoth supranational entity. A nation is defined by three things: 1) a common language, 2) shared values, and 3) territory. When those spheres are blurred the a nation loses is identity.
