Rather sweeping assumption that.

I never expected Spain & Germany to be like California & Texas.  Too many deeply ingrained cultural differences for the EU to work, at least in the same sense the US works.

So in that, I agree with you.  Given the absence of alternatives, however, I'm not so sure what's 'discredited' about nation states.  Seems it's the concept of EU that's discredited.

Look at the history of the 20th century starting with the Armenian genocide, through with the Holocaust, then the horrors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, then sundry wars big and small all faught under the banner of the nation state. As the great historian EJ Hobbawm says, nation states are the engines of destruction. Intolerance, ethnic cleansing, identiy politics of the lowest kind have all symptoms of the malaise of the nation state. It is taxic to the core and Europe tried a different political route and its time, I'm afraid is over.

I don't see how you can think some other political structure would have avoided any of those things.  There is a further problem - the perceived benefits of alternative political structures are pure speculation.  There is nothing intrinsic to organizing as a nation state that makes it evil or 'discredited'.  What people do with their nation state is the issue, IMO.

The social trends in Europe are not quite encouraging. It is conventional to speak of a dying society, I do not want to say that. compared to the situation 4 to 5 decades back, Europe has become more insular and ethnic conflicts are not the rise. The Gemans killed the Jews during World WAr II, the Turks killed the Armenians, the Bosnisan Muslims killed the Serbians and vice versa and now it is free for all against the no white population of Europe. I think it is ironic that the Empires handled diversity much better than the so called nation states.

What do you mean by 'free for all against the no white population'?

Is it an accident that NATO has attacked Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, flown drones over Pskistan etc and what all these societies have in common is that they are not of European stalk. The myth of Islamic terrorism is used to demonise these socities in order to bomb, kill mutilate human beings. What NATO and by this we mean USA, UK and France are doing in Libya is alsolutely unjustified.

Yes, it is and this sad state of affairs of contemporary European reality has been known and warned against for years. America ought to take notice.

Ah yes, Christendom..when Almighty God and the Faith that built her was in the picture. The same Christendom that produced the cathedral of Notre Dame and brought the intellectual contribution known as the university system.

There are reasons for things. Europe is, as you say, "getting unstuck"  because they refuse to retain their Christian heritage and culture. 

But it's worse than just getting unstuck. By losing their Christian roots, Europeans are signing their death warrants.

Check out the EU Constitution. The EU could not bring itself even to acknowledge the continent's Christian heritage in its constitution. That's right....no mention of Europe's Christian roots, however atheistic humanism has been advanced manifesting itself in declining birthrates to the point Europe is not having enough children even to reproduce itself.

So how is abandoning the Faith that built Europe and adopting atheistic and secular humanism working out for the Europeans? George Weigel answers this in his book, "The Cube and the Cathedral, Europe, America and Politics Without God" which I highly recommend reading. 

This unpleasant reality "is putting huge burdens on the European welfare state and creating a vacuum into which Islamic immigrants are cascading".

Let's do some truth-telling.

It was a few years ago that Mark Steyn was taken before the Canadian Human Rights Commission and the British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal for writing an article that they claimed "subjects Canadian Muslims to hatred and contempt" and was "flagrantly Islamphobic".

Steyn got in big trouble for writing, "There are signs that Allah will grant Islam victory in Europe--without swords, without guns, without conquests. The 50 million Muslims of Europe will turn it into a Muslim continent within a few decades. Just look at the development within Europe, where the number of Muslims are expanding like mosquitos. Every Western woman in the EU is producing an average of 1.4 children. Every Muslim woman in the same countries is producing 3.5 children."

I think Qaddafi said basically the same thing.
