Still around, but it ain't free. Boortz is right about this. Britain was once the world's super power (though they didn't call it that) and was so for about 200 years.

If we don't turn back the tide of socialism in our country, then our run is pretty much up. Look at the Roman Empire - half the reason it fell was because of all the loose morals.

Last week our Asian allies were saying that they are restructuring their defense plans with the belief in mind that the U.S. could not win a war against China.

The leftists are achieving victory without winning at the ballot box. Victory for them is the destruction of America through the destruction of her freedoms.

I wonder if this is just wishful thinking on the part of the networks? They using John Murtha as a technical advisor?

Therein lies the rub---what constitutes "free"? Is England more free than Ethiopia? Is she less free than Camaroon? Is she about as free as Canada?

Methinks Boortz is stretching to make a point . . .

The barbarian invaders (our illegals) helped put the nails in Rome's coffin.

And all we have to stop them is the cowardly GOP who would rather try to out liberal the liberals than to do what is right. Look at them, can you name 5 times in the past 25 years where rights have been given back to the people?

Well, actually Rome fell for a variety of reasons and it didn't quite completely fall since the Byzantines kept going for another several centuries after the Visigoths set up shop.

Rome's morals were always questionable. In fact, Rome was at its greatest glory during a time when prostitution was just fine as was sexual relations with a man and when men died for the amusement of others in the thousands.

I don't blame Christianity for Rome's decline, but it wasn't declining 'morals' in the sense you mean that spelled doom.

The softening of their society and the influx of the barbarians brought about Rome's collapse. Near the end, some of the barbarian Romans were better Romans than the Romans were, sadly.
