[DieHard the Hunter]

> Also, DieHard, India now dwarfs the old Empire in power, common sense and morality. We leave the things of yesterdays empires in the past. Cultures that follow the tenet, pride goes before destruction, have risen. India is one of those cultures. It was also an ancient Hebrew proverb and has been part of our US culture (until recently, may we realize it again).

The proof of the pudding is in the eating. Big words do not an Empire make.

[Gengis Khan]

“The proof of the pudding is in the eating.”

Be sure you wont be eating any pudding but a humble pie. Wait another decade or so.

"The proof of the pudding is in the eating. Big words do not an Empire make."

We in the USA are more oriented toward independence and willing allies than to empire and condescending dominion. Most of the FR allegiance to "empire" went away with radical Giuliani support. Let those foreigners who pine for lost empires continue with their support of Islamo-fascism.
