EU leaders have set up a titanic showdown with Theresa May after they rushed to dismiss key UK demands within hours of the historic Article 50 letter being delivered.
In a day of high political drama, the Prime Minister was cheered to the rafters by Tory MPs in the Commons as she declared that her envoy Sir Tim Barrow had handed the formal Brexit notification to European Council president Donald Tusk in the Belgian capital.

I'll never understand American right wing extremists hatred for the EU, it's pathological.
You don't? I see it as analogous of the U.S.

They see it as a threat to the US. Same reason they hate Russia and China. Soon India will join the group, as well as Brazil most likely. Any country or organisation that threatens "US superiority" (in their eyes) is a threat and must be destroyed if it cant be controlled.

Imagine a North American Union, (Canada, Mexico and The US), who's going to have to most real power in that?
Now imagine Donald Trump is the head of that union.
Any more questions?
I think it has more to do with the pathological hatred of anything they deem remotely socialist, personally.

The EU is not that imbalanced.
It would be more like the US if the 5 largest states were double and the rest remained the same size. Along with far less power to the "federal" government
Heck the EU only has around 55 000 people working for it. The majority of what it has done is set trade standards so that something produced in say Ireland can be sold in all of the EU, meeting all member countries safety/environment/quality standards.
A standard for a Grade A banana, is done in the EU and it is done in the US. Along with the various quality grades of beef. The uproar over straight vs curved Banana's comes down t that.

Because some of us like our sovereignty and dislike Illuminati-like central governments.
Because we don't like one-world oligarchies ruling the masses, nor do we enjoy watching the identities of countries get washed away by the financial power of the likes of George Soros and his ilk.
That is a pointless comment with absolutely no meaning. If there were no united states and just 50 different countries, each state government could then be seen as the "central government".
Trump sure seems to like the one-man Russia oligarchy just fine.Because we don't like one-world oligarchies ruling the masses, nor do we enjoy watching the identities of countries get washed away by the financial power of the likes of George Soros and his ilk.
But, that's not the way it is, is it?
WTF is that supposed to mean? If you are stumped, no need to retort with this barf. Just say so.

You said "if" the 50 states were all sovereign. They aren't.
