Coming To America?

After all, Europe often leads the way and American liberals follow:

It adds: 'Even-handedness dictates that we provide public recognition to minority cultures and traditions.

'If we are going to continue as a nation to mark Christmas - and it would be very hard to expunge it from our national life even if we wanted to - then public organisations should mark other religious festivals too.

'We can no longer define ourselves as a Christian nation, nor an especially religious one in any sense.

What complete and utter balderdash!!

Christianity is the very cultural cornerstone upon which our anglo-saxo-celtic heritage in this land is built.

The multi-culti altar shall not be sated until America lies dead, cold, and turned into a hellish landscape of unassimilated enclaves that have shredded the land and ruined it forever.

Coming to America? Hell, man, already here!

This will be a winner with government employees.

For them any event, no matter how obscure, that can be deemed a holiday is a day off work or a day of overtime for those who are required to work.

The scariest bit is the rubbish about turning birth registry into a state ceremony where "parents and the state make an agreement to raise the child"... pure and unadulterated Soviet communism!

I'd given the brits 10 years before the final collapse. Looks like I was wildly optimistic.

Yeah, and those damn liberals are trying to tear it down! Liberals like the Ayn Rand institute!

Ah, the old Founding Fathers were atheists/deists canard.

Well, if we must go there, remember that they were addressing the end of a long era of state-controlled churches such as the Church of England, controlled by the Crown of England... Evangelische Freikirche [Lutherans], controlled by various nobles and German electorates and Hanseatic League brokers... the Roman Catholic Church, whose temporal authority often wavered between various Catholic kings, popes, and the occasional antipope to make things interesting... and various Protestant denominations which were not in control of, or controlled by a patron, for fear that one would gain power over another, and set the early states into the same disastrous pattern that had fettered the Old Continent for much of its history.

Get it? It wasn't out of some driving anti-christian or atheistic mandate that the Founding Fathers sought a sharp institutional division between church and state, it was to keep each in their appropriate, God-appointed roles: the churches over the spiritual affairs of men and their God, and the states over civil affairs between men.

Yet, this is not my point when I say that Christianity is the very cultural cornerstone upon which our anglo-saxo-celtic heritage in this land is built...

...it simply is that way because the majority of Anglo-Saxo-Celtic immigrants who made up the bulk of the American Colonies in the late 18th century were either Christians, or they ascribed to following Christian teachings.

Notwithstanding any malarkey about the Indians' shamanist religions being a part of the Christian spiritual and moral-ethical framework upon which the Constitution and the Bill of Rights were built... there is not a single Muslim, nor Buddhist, not Zoroastrian, nor Jain, nor Sikh, nor pagan Norse god worshipper publicly known among the Founding Fathers.

And nor were there many of these non-Christian faiths dispersed among the many peoples in the many early American states.

And even today, at least for a little while longer, the white Anglo-Saxon-Celtic descendants of the majority population are still the majority in the land, and along with it, though diminished by time and hardening of hearts to sin... those same Christian principles and traditions hold truth just as much as they did to men's hearts over 220 years ago.

And I wouldn't hesitate to say that we are very close behind our British kindred, if we really start to have a massive segment of people believe these marxist lies designed to suvert our governmnet and way of life, while opening the door for those evil, lunatic (ironic application here) moon-god idol worshippers to overrun our nation.

I've always been a bit of an Anglophile, but I'm beginning to think we ought to consider sending the UK a message. Sever some diplomatic or financial tie to express our concern for what they are up to and to distance ourselves a little from them. Not sure what it should be, strong enough to get their attention but not enough to elicit hatred. I must confess to being not very educated in the ways of diplomacy. Perhaps we should withdraw some our military from Germany, that would send a message to EU total.

[seekeronos]

I'm not altogether convinced that we really need a substantial military presence in Europe anymore, aside from minor FOL infrastructure, overflight rights and perhaps a squadron or two of in-flight refueling and AWACS aircraft.

Then relocate unneeded assets to Iraq or rotate guard units back to the States for patrolling the borders. And it wouldn't hurt to take a look at relocating some more PACOM assets to Iraq as well, depending upon how willing the ChiComs are about not needling or sabre-rattling over ROC-Taiwan.

I'm sure that between the Royal Navy, the RAF, and the Bundeswehr and the Armeé de France ... the EU is more than able to keep Putin from getting to frisky. (-*slight snark*-)
