In contrast, the American Heartland, is healthy and still in its ascendancy. It is the last great bastion of Western Civilization on earth.
The fate of the world--and the fate of our children--depend upon who prevails in this Manichaean struggle between the healthy American Heartland and decadence.
If the Heartland prevails, Americans will bring The American Dream of liberty, justice, and prosperity to all the people of the world.
If the forces of decadence triumph, the world will fall into a horrible dark age.
These are the stakes.
Thank you. We both share the same ideals and religion and that seems to be a good start and our families are rather close as well. The only thing that I can do is pray that god will help us make the right choices during our lives.
And kerry has stated that he wants to embrace the french. Hello America, can you see where we are possibly headed?
Get out the vote. Will Bush NOW start to come out punching? I pray he does.
Alrighty then.
Betcha Brigette could whip Chirac's arse.Oh, man ! I can imagine he would surrender before she could get her sleeves rolled up ! haha !
France is lucky to have at least one man left.
I AM PHIL, PRINCE OF INSUFFICIENT LIGHT, AND I DARN YOU TO HECK!
A big bump to what you said!!
Gads, golly, gee whiz and ding dang it!!
LOL, I've been gone a couple of days or I'd be able to think of more!
"Why do they say they are Muslim American?"
My observations are that they don't. They say they are Arabs, or they say they are moslems. I rarely if ever hear them say they are Americans of any part.
"Yes, "Liberalism" (a misnomer, of course, hence the quotation marks) is decadence."
Liberalism in Europe is right wing, not left. It means free markets and economic conservatism. The opposite of "liberal" is "socialist"
The poor woman has strayed from the left - all their fangs are bared now.
American "Liberalism" stiffles freedom of speech and freedom of thought and opposes freedom of action. It supports socialism and its prerequisite, totalitarianism, and seeks to control every facet of life, from smoking tobacco to how much water your washing machine can use. It urges huge, powerful, exploitive, and inevitably tyrranical government. It is decadence.
As you point out, "liberalism" in Europe means something quite different.
The decadence mis-known in America as "Liberalism" has afflicted Europe, perhaps more than America, but it is known as "the left", "the far left", or perhaps "socialism", but socialism is only a part of it.
Do you agree? What do you think? How would you express it?
