The Inevitable Decline of Great Britain
Powerline ^ | 05/24/2013 | John Hinderaker

Posted on 05/25/2013 11:06:44 AM PDT by Rusty0604

Although other bystanders watched in horror and police waited helplessly for armed officers to arrive, Gemini modestly insisted her [sic] and her mother were not heroes and had done what anyone else would do. The idea of policemen in one of the world’s major cities “wait[ing] helplessly for armed officers to arrive,” while murderers parade up and down the street soaked in blood and the body of a half-beheaded soldier lies in the street, is almost unbelievable. But that doesn’t mean the British are entirely lax with respect to law enforcement. No, not at all: it just depends which laws you are talking about. If you mean laws against carving up innocent people on the street with knives, well, the Brits have a problem. But if you complain about such an outrage on Facebook or Twitter, you’re going to be crushed by the full majesty of the law.

Western Europe is about 15 years ahead of the U.S. in aborting and contracepting itself out of existence.

This was a very brazen attack. The Muslim terrorists hacked this guy to death in broad daylight, with many other people seeing this happen.

I’m sure this will only embolden them. Why? Because they see that bystanders will not intervene as they commit their atrocities in the name of Allah. We may well see more of this type of attack. If they have no fear of bystanders intervening, they may think they can do anything, anywhere.

And remember these guys don’t care if they get killed anyway. They are dreaming of their 72 virgins which Allah will give them for carrying out Allah’s will.

If the killers hadn’t hung around 20 minutes waiting for the cops, they would have really gotton away with it. Or they could have killed more infidels with everyone else just watching.

Here in our area about 20 CCL holders would have pulled out a weapon and shot them down in the street. Half the state of GA walks around carrying. Of course now that I think about that kind of stuff never happens here. I wonder if there is a correlation? :-)

Britain and the U.S. will be here until the end. Britain is Ephraim and the U.S. is Manasseh. Why do you think we are the main supporters of Israel? Times might look bad, but the muslims will not take over either country.

If a member of The Religion of Peace had tried this in my hometown, he would have been shot to death before the second stroke.

And if this is the future our feckless government thinks they can force on us, they’ve got another think coming.

Mother country .... Whatever happened to “ ... never, never will be slaves”?

I think Hinderaker makes the point perfectly. I was a bit disappointed in Mark Steyn’s article on this. Not quite up to his usual standard.

Anyway, I’m sending Hinderaker out to my email list.

What are the British going to do when something 20 times what happened
happens? You had better change laws and arm up Brits. Unless you do,
you will be the first country to go. Appeasement and bribing the Muslims
is NOT the way to go.

Britain ruled the waves around the world. The sun never set on the British Empire. Kings looked down and emperors frowned, when they said, “stop”.

Looking at the UK today and saying that decline is inevitable, is forecasting history.

It was the change in immigration laws throughout the West which brought in the flood of immigrants, we weren’t outnumbered and conquered, the left just wrote new immigration laws.

It was the stolen 1960 election which did this to America.

From unionizing government, to Vietnam, to the 1965 Immigration Act, JFK was the end of us.

“However, if there is one man who can take the most credit for the 1965 act, it is John F. Kennedy. Kennedy seems to have inherited the resentment his father Joseph felt as an outsider in Boston’s WASP aristocracy. He voted against the McCarran-Walter Act of 1952, and supported various refugee acts throughout the 1950s. In 1958 he wrote a book, A Nation of Immigrants, which attacked the quota system as illogical and without purpose, and the book served as Kennedy’s blueprint for immigration reform after he became president in 1960. In the summer of 1963, Kennedy sent Congress a proposal calling for the elimination of the national origins quota system. He wanted immigrants admitted on the basis of family reunification and needed skills, without regard to national origin. After his assassination in November, his brother Robert took up the cause of immigration reform, calling it JFK’s legacy. In the forward to a revised edition of A Nation of Immigrants, issued in 1964 to gain support for the new law, he wrote, “I know of no cause which President Kennedy championed more warmly than the improvement of our immigration policies.” Sold as a memorial to JFK, there was very little opposition to what became known as the Immigration Act of 1965.”

I’m not sure we have 15 years left.

I’m not sure the UK has 5.

Very BIG difference and it is summed up in a four letters word, GUNS, between Britian and the USA.

In places like say, TX, the Muslim terrorist would very much have ended up looking like Swiss cheese, thanks to a CWC person.

You got it.

Love him or hate him, give Michael Savage A LOT of credit when he said that the big difference with the USA not going the way of Britain is “guns, guns, guns,guns.”
