Brexit Leads to "Shock!"

To hear the newscast today--radio and television and wait until the newspapers tomorrow--incredible amounts of "shock" are resounding throughout the world today.  The source of the "shock" is Britain leaving the European Union.  The US markets have fallen sharply, the President is upset, etc.

I think what has happened is that the arrogant elitists have been "shocked."  In their infinite wisdom (at least in their own minds), this is a tragedy.  What about globalism?  What about cooperation?  What about their, forget the common Britisher's, goals?

Once again I find these arrogant elitists to be complete out of touch with reality, at least the reality of the common folks.  The politicians, the academics, the media, the experts...are all shocked.  Obama, revealing his globalist hand as if he hadn't already, warned the Brits if they left the EU, they'd have to "go to the end of the queue."  But who, really, couldn't see this coming, esp if the British pols listened to their constituents?

Who could possibly think the Brits are happy with what has happened and is happening to their nation and to them?  They, like many European countries, have been flooded with immigrants from a very, very different culture and tradition.  These immigrants have demanded and have received permission to follow their religious and traditional/cultural mandates.  That is, they refuse to assimilate.  For instance, large parts of whole cities are ruled by Sharia, the Islamic law.  British law, centuries old, be damned.  Brits themselves, like others in their own European countries, are victimized by immigrants who impose their own religious and social beliefs on them.  (Note the attacks on Western women who, oddly enough, dress like Western women!  Note, too, how silent the feminists in the West are......)  And, remember, the Brits are in the process of becoming a minority in their own country, like many Europeans, due to the birthrates of those immigrants.

(If you want to gain keen insights into the minds of the Islamists, pick up a couple of novels by Daniel Silva.  He is very enlightening.  And, a bonus, his protagonist, Gabriel Allon, is terrific.  (I almost used the word "awesome."  It would have been the perfect word, had it not been co-opted and turned into a word of immense triteness.)

Yet those arrogant elitists, who know far more than we do, who know what's better for our countries and ourselves than we do, express "shock" at the Brexit.

Go ahead, vote for the Democratic or Republican nominees in November......
