The Death of A Nation

Hardly a day goes by without reading another goofy story about Britain, and it's apparent addiction to all-out political correctness and it's ever-growing attraction to socialism. In fact, many say it's becoming a genuine threat to their freedoms. Add to this the fact that they've welcomed millions of radical Mooselambs into their country, and you've got the makings of some very serious problems, the kind of problems that nations, especially notoriously weak and tolerant ones, do not survive. There are some very valuable lessons for us in what's happening to Britain, assuming we're smart enough to learn from it. So far, all the signs point to the fact that, as usual, we're not...

Here's the difference in them, and us.

Guns and two way communications. We got 'em, the Brits don't. We'll use them. We have a history of revolution and rebellion. Technically the Brits do to, but their last revolution was hundreds of years before we were a thought in anybody's mind.



I saw Glenn Beck this morning and he was saying that a number of economists and military historians are saying that much of the world is ripe for rioting and overthrow. Including us, spelled U.S. I concur, it's coming.

What do you want to bet that this is really to keep from offending the Mooselambs.

Has anybody else noticed how boring the news is now that nobody reports anything bad the government does?

Every time BO opens his mouth, the Dow drops 200 points.

Even before he opens his mouth. He's just landing in Denver to sign the spendulus bill & hasn't even spoken yet. Down 270 at 12:45 PM Central time. Or maybe it's because A-Rod is about to speak.

The Netherlands surrendered to radical Islam after one of their number, Mohammed Bouyeri murdered Theo Van Gogh after his documentary, Submission defamed Islam. Bouyeri was a devvout Muslim, but this fact did not prevent him from using pornographic material in his personal life, where his pornographic tastes showed a predilection for amputee fetishism, child pornography and necrophilia.

Later, a Dutch Roman Catholic bishop, Tiny Muskens (honest to God, real name) suggested that Christians call God Allah to placate their Muslim neighbors.

That's what appeasement will get you.

You may be right Steve, but whatever is "coming", it won't be coming from the Amerikan people, as they have been totally defanged. If they're willing to stand for this massive ripoff, (a.k.a. stimulus) and the killer tax increases that are coming, the lying crooks in DC have nothing to fear from the people, and the crooks know it!

You're right Lady-Bug, the Brits have a long history of appeasement and would rather roll over than stand and fight, even for their own country and culture. And we don't seem to be too far behind them.
