The Europeans are waking up and kicking the socialists in their asses.
We need to do the same here in America.

Eurosceptic and far-right parties have seized ground in elections to the European parliament, in what France's PM called a "political earthquake".
UK Independence Party and French National Front both performed strongly. The three big centrist blocs all lost seats, though still hold the majority.
The outcome means a greater say for those who want to cut back the EU's powers, or abolish it completely.
UK PM David Cameron said the public was "disillusioned" with the EU.
Mr Cameron said their message was "received and understood".
French President Francois Hollande has called an urgent meeting of his cabinet, as Prime Minister Manuel Valls promised tax cuts a day after the results which he described as "a shock, an earthquake".
Chancellor Angela Merkel - whose party topped the poll in Germany - described the far right victories as "remarkable and regrettable" and said the best response was to boost economic growth and jobs.
Jose Manuel Barroso, outgoing president of the European Commission, stressed that the pro-EU blocs still had "a very solid and workable majority".
He said a "truly democratic debate" was needed to address the concerns of those who did not vote, or "voted in protest".

So they could have done this before and choose not to?

While America elects a fascist that sat in 'church' for 20 years listening to and praising a Black Nationalist.
You don't listen to a message for 20 years that you disagree with.

I'm not sure I'd classify the UK Independence Party as fascist.
