Quite free thank you.:tiphat:

Does the Patriot Act concern you?:ehh:

Ahem: :ehh:

Christian Institute says Christians in Britain are certainly being squeezed out of public life, and has published an 80-page report summarizing the evidence.

Meanwhile, does Islam concern you? :ehh:

The Islamification Of Britain: Record Numbers Embrace Muslim Faith

To us American cowboys, that’s a strange definition you have for “freedom” over there.

You’re welcome. :tiphat:

You’re welcome. :tiphat:

People need to wake up.

You mean Utopia and World Peace isn’t coming through Obama? I expected this to be accomplished in the next 3-1/2 years. I thought the Democrats had this under control. NO? Shocking revelation and turn of events. As we continue down the path singing…

Kumbaya my Lord, kumbaya
Kumbaya my Lord, kumbaya
Kumbaya my Lord, kumbaya
Oh Lord, kumbaya

 

[Cor_Cordis]

Is Britain the world’s first politically correct totalitarian state?

“As the author points out, there are just too many cases of people being arrested for homophobia, racism or other thought crimes for this to be treated as anything other than state policy. Of course Britain isn’t Orwell’s Oceania or Bolshevik Russia yet, but it is a tyranny nonetheless.”

Did, or can, Utopia come through any political power?

I refer to Thomas Merton for that response. Though through Dante’s Inferno there are different levels reserved for special individuals.

Carry on, sorry for my rude interruption.

History has shown that “some” political philosophies are much more prone to utopian ideals than others.

Utopian socialism is a term used to define the first currents of modern socialist thought as exemplified by the work of Henri de Saint-Simon, Charles Fourier, and Robert Owen, which inspired Karl Marx and other early socialists.

I believe Utopia is attainable through a monarchy only, and there is only one King that can establish it.

“In the formula of Karl Marx men could find that frigid fellowship which they find when they agree that two and two make four. It was almost as broadminded as a religious dogma.”

“The Marxian dogma which simplifies all conflicts to the Class War is so much nobler a thing than the nose-counting of the parliaments that one must apologise for the comparison. And yet there is a comparison. When we used to say that there were so many thousands of Socialists in Germany, we were counting by skulls. When we said that the majority consisting of Proletarians would be everywhere opposed to the minority, consisting of Capitalists, we were counting by skulls. Why, yes; if all men’s heads had been cut off from the rest of them, as they were by the good sense and foresight of Timour the Tartar; if they had no hearts or bellies to be moved; no hand that flies up to ward off a weapon, no foot that can feel a familiar soil–if things were so the Marxian calculation would be not only complete but correct. As we know to-day, the Marxian calculation is complete, but it is not correct.”

• G.K. Chesterton - Utopia Of Users

A utopia (/juːˈtoʊpiə/) is a community or society possessing highly desirable or perfect qualities. The word was coined in Greek by St Thomas More for his 1516 book Utopia, describing a fictional island society in the Atlantic Ocean. The term has been used to describe both intentional communities that attempt to create an ideal society, and fictional societies portrayed in literature. It has spawned other concepts, most prominently dystopia.

Have you thanked America recently for it’s contributions to your freedoms?

Have you thankedFrance?

Remember those two European wars that quickly became World Wars?

No, America aided. Unless you want to ignore the sacrifice made by millions of Allies from Russia, the British Commonwealth and over a dozen other allied countries.

Yes.

We placed their gift to us in our main port of entry.

She’s called The Statue Of Liberty.

But we cowboys call her “Lady Liberty”.

No, America aided. Unless you want to ignore the sacrifice made by millions of Allies from Russia, the British Commonwealth and over a dozen other allied countries.

Aided?

Name the other superpowers that contributed anywhere near the combination of industrial production might AND manpower on two fronts?

Oh and - we supplied Russia as well.
