European and American Elites united

The interesting Republican primary continues to produce pearls of speech:


"American elites are guided by their desire to emulate the European elites," says presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich. "As a result, anti-religious values and principles are coming to dominate the academic, news media and judicial class in America."


Praise the GOP's troglodytes, for acknowledging the continental elites some merit!


I hate Europe - Newt Gingrich cartoon

Der Spiegel summarizes de GOP posture well: "Europe is socialist, bloated and a threat to the global economy. That appears to be the message from the ongoing presidential campaign in the US. Republicans in particular have discovered Europe as a convenient punching bag -- and have even begun accusing each other of being too 'European.'"
