"It seems obvious that the still close historical and cultural ties between Europe and the US should be a source of exemplary strength, not of petty division. It seems obvious that common values and beliefs, hard won and long sustained, are worth fighting for. It should seem obvious that surrendering this legacy to the pseudo-democrats, calculating abacus rattlers, arms peddlers, and flabby moral relativists who might seek to dominate a post-European, post-American world is not a good idea. Truth is, Europe and America, for all their myriad differences, need each other more, not less. It’s worth both parties remembering that in Lisbon – and trying to make their relationship work. The alternatives are all worse."
