Washington, DC (TLS). The European Union failed to approve a unifying Constitution the first time such a proposal made its rounds in Europe. It appears that now they are trying again, although the new proposal is being described as 'Constitution-lite.'
Melanie Phillips in the U.K. always provides an insightful perspective from across the Atlantic. Here are her thoughts on the new proposal:

'Human Rights' Talk the Biggest Threat to Liberty
Washington, DC (TLS). The West is under siege. And the danger is every bit as real and lethal as the threat from Islamic terrorists. This threat, however, comes from within.
The talk of 'human rights' has become a catch-phrase for those groups that are committed to limiting human liberty.
No greater example can be found of this phenomenon than the Muslim Imams who were forced from a U.S. Air jet after other passengers alerted officials concerning their strange and unusual behavior--behavior that would normally land American citizens in jail.
But not these race-and-religion-baiters.
In the name of 'human rights' they would seek to take away the 'human rights' of the passengers and of U.S. Air to remove them from that flight and to treat them as a potential terrorist threat. Further, they want the names of the passengers so they can be sued. This is meant to send a message.
Muslim extremists wish to sue Americans into silence.
Thus, in order to protect the so-called 'human rights' of extremists, the rest of us must keep our freakin' mouths shut.
What about OUR human rights?
Melanie Philips writes an eye-opening column on this very issue as it has played out across the Atlantic in the U.K. Read it. It is entitled, 'Liberty Fades as Rights Talk Grows.' Click here to read it:

The Liberty Sphere Welcomes Melanie Phillips
Washington, DC (TLS). The Liberty Sphere welcomes Melanie Phillips to our list of preferred links. You will find the link to her articles, designated as 'Melanie Phillips in the U.K.', in the left-column of The Liberty Sphere in our 'Links' section.
Writing from London, Phillips is a powerful voice for liberty in the midst of the Jihad across the Atlantic. Her poignant, crisply-written articles have become some of our favorites here at The Liberty Sphere, and we wanted our readers to have the added option of considering the perspective of someone in Great Britain who unashamedly stands for the freedoms that traditionally Americans and the Brits have held in common.
Consistently an enlightening and delightful read, Melanie Phillips provides a needed perspective in the trans-Atlantic alliance between the U.S. and the U.K.
