As a Briton , I agree with everything you say. In some strange way , our servants ( the politicians in a 'proper' democracy) seem to have got the impression that our views dont matter any more.I recently signed a petition about the building of a huge Mosque in London which would be bigger than our St Pauls Cathedral. Now I have a number of Moslem friends who also agree that this is way too far.Like the USA , we are notionally a christian country and people immgrate here because of the british way of life. Someone is killing this off. At some point , the british ( of all colours/religions) are going to get very angry about this.As you say , there are , I think , already signs that this shift into a sort of brave new world is happening in the USA. So , ge ready to get ANGRY.
with highest regards

Your statements are not the major things that we should be looking at across the big pond. The fact that the Islamic Nation has built itself into the fabric and soul of Western Euro has changed the entire picture of a Euro that is running scared and running hard for cover and that cover appears to be disappearing to smoke.
Read now today "while Europe Slept" You will get a frightening picture of Denmark, Finland, Norway, France(France will be over taken in less than five years with Islamic radicals), Spain, Italy and most of the Balkan states. But you need to know why why this has happened. All the tearing down from within and using the secularist ideals and law to establish a hell on earth through these racial islamist...about 150 million of them...
A war is a coming and an ill wind blows, will we have the backbone and the understanding that we are all that stands between chaos of a world and civilization of mankind.

While I will agree with equality, the right to pursue happiness, liberty, and justice for all, I too agree that the Europeans are going a bit far afield and way to the left. As a conservative, I feel that such state imposed programs are wrong, especially when it is coming out of the tax payer pockets. However, we have freedom of speech here, and this allows them to spread their ideas. All we can do is pray that the wonderful people of this great country have the good sense to see the false hopes and unkeepable promises this form of government brings. Also, sorry, but Bush isn't a conservative and I disagree with the whole premise of this administration. Hopefully next year, we will be able to get true conservatives back in office. However, until we institute term limits on congress, all we will get is attention seeking, self-serving people who claim to represent both the left and the right. When the elected representatives kowtow to special interest groups, the average citizen loses.

Sad to say, it is a preview.
I watched a film called, "A Fish Called Wanda," a few days ago. It is a British film released in 1988. It recorded that North Vietnam had bested Old Glory, and the person who represented the USA (Kevin Kline) was a fool who was turned into road kill by a steamroller which he saw in advance. It recorded that Baroness Thatcher was a liar. These political statements were gratuitous statements.
When I first saw it in 1988, I hated the film. When I saw it now, I enjoyed it, although it is coarse. But it was because we won the Cold War in 1989 - with the Wall down that I could enjoy it. Europe has always been soft on Communism and has always disliked Americans, after all, most who left for America were hated in Europe. If they were British and liked, they went to Canada or Australia or New Zealand.
Do I think that there are a lot of silly registered voters who think that snake-oil works? Yes! There are. Remember, the engaging and charming Joe Biden is running for the Presidency this year - the guy who last time he ran plagiarized one of his speeches from the British Labour Party, long before it was reformed by Tony Blair.
What is absolutely critical to the long term success of the conservative forces in the USA is that the history of the Cold War be understood by young people, even at the cost of advertising.
The reason is that it proved that strength is the key militarily and a market economy is the key to domestic policy. There are still many people who know what it was like under the Communists. Their story should be told.
As to the war on the terrorists, Bush is wrong. When the attacks came in 2001, he should have pushed for ethnic profiling and he should have expanded the kidnapping in foreign countries of terrorists and their torture in foreign countries. Instead, he has built an expensive national security state, that makes the Democrats look credible. But common sense - treating the terrorists the way they treat us, in accordance with the act of state doctrine - has eluded the White House. Instead they are downloading the electronic profiles of travelers to Las Vegas in 2001 and not finding anyone. It is all very sad.
As to Iraq, our only interest was in disciplining our enemies. Instead, "nation building" was tacked on to the mission. We should have got into there, removed Hussein and then got out and if we did not like what turned up, we should have invaded again.
Contrary to Leftist fantasy, the Monroe doctrine has not meant that we run South America or that we intervene every time the regime changes, after we have removed those of whom we really disapprove. We have co-existed with dictatorships for decades.
But in Iraq, Bush wants to make the world perfect. This is a foreign policy objective that is beyond our capacity as a nation to achieve other than by Communist type terror OR by indefinite military occupation.
American exceptionalism is because we are different and no amount of saying otherwise will work. Removing the Butcher of Baghdad was an achievable objective, but trying to plant democracy in a world of violence and hate is like what has been vexing Britain in Ireland since 1969. That took 38 years to end and it ended by the Republic of Ireland getting rich because of a low corporate tax rate and plenty of jobs, so that people would rather watch a big screen tv, than kill each other while living on British welfare benefits - it was those that kicked off the Troubles just ended.
If Americans were successful at reforming looney dying cultures and making them like the USA, then our forefathers would not have had to leave in the first place.
Europeans and the Middle East are poisonous. We need pro-active isolationism. We do not need to be the force for good in the Old World. President Monroe was right. Nuking parts of the Middle East as a form of forward defense of the USA is excellent and vigorous policy. Nuking parts of the Middle East to expand democracy is a mistake.
If the wisdom of nuking these people is doubted, then reflect on the Japanese. What else would have turned them around? They were just as crazy as these people in the Middle East. They were the people who gave us the first flying suicide bombers.
Our problem is that modern forms of travel have permitted these people to challenge us at home, because they hate us. They always hated us. This means that isolationism cannot be limited in territorial extent - the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans are not motes anymore. But our objectives have to be limited ones.
We should reserve a right of veto over foreign regimes, just as we have in South America for 200 years.

LOL, the Economic League kept records on hundreds of thousands of people including me... The Union checked my activity using those lists before hiring me, there were some things I had forgotten apparently. To get on those lists, you only had to turn up to a Union Branch meeting, special Branch and the Police supplied tons of information to them, presumably doing the same for the Construction companies blacklists. Disgruntled, you are breaking the law by making that statement BTW, and if you dismissed anyone for joining a Union it would cost you a lot to settle the tribunal claim against you now it is in the public domain...

To be fair to the Brits, It's not just them.
A substantial fraction of the German government and, if the polls are to be believed, the German people actually believe that creating an official national "Muslim Holiday" will in some way protect them from the wrath of Islamic radical terrorists.
I dare Europeans and liberals to read this article.
It's by Mathais Dopfner the CEO of Axel Springer a large German Publishing firm and printed in Die Welt, a German periodical, expressing his embarrassment over European Cowardice.

It's already happening in Canada. An organization (The Knights Of Columbus, a Catholic Organization) refused to rent thier hall to a gay couple for their wedding reception and were forced to pay damages. Political Correctness trumps religious freedom.

There is nothing Marxist about equal rights, nor the fight for them. The United States is supposed to be the shining beacon of equality, why do you dislike that? Perhaps Britain is following our lead.

and you are worried about homosexuals? Looks to me like you've got a WAY BIGGER PROBLEM than just gays checking in for some sleep.
When was the last time you saw an ordinary woman in Brittain wearing biblically correct attire? You know with a long sleeved dress to the floor and a headrail? First you have to beleive in the virtue of modesty, followed by some codified sex laws. The gays? They are just the last thing to fall in a sucession of failures . Picking on them is hypocrisy. Get thee to a monastery.
