"Praising patriotism excludes non-British pupils," said one.

Alrighty then next time some piddly little third world cesspool needs England to save their backsides for the countless time all partriotic Brits should turn their backs.

When that happens, the West is STILL held accountable for the slaughter, as evidenced by Darfur. 

No matter what the West does, we will ALWAYS be wrong in the eyes of the Left.

No matter what the West does, we will ALWAYS be wrong in the eyes of the Left.

Romans 10:3 says this:

For being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God.
Paul was talking of his own nation there, but modern leftists are in the same situation. The difference is that first-century Jews believed in the Bible (the Tanakh), while modern leftists have no such reference; they pretty much follow the herd. The similarity is that it's all about establishing "righteousness".

We often notice that leftists want to "feel good" about themselves. What makes them feel good is this idea that "I'm better than ___." It's a sort of righteousness which develops from running others down, a predatory or fungal process rather than a constructive one. The "good, righteous" feeling develops in direct proportion to the respectability and inherent virtue of the target. Meaning, for instance, that running down America or Britain gives mucho points, more than could be had by talking about Rwanda or the Sudan.

They also get extra points for following, and in exceptional cases, leading the herd in directions contrary to reason. And there is a special bonus given for direct contradiction to the bourgeois morality of the unwashed masses (that's us!) which derives partly from some ancient book which (leftists believe that) nobody really believes.

To leftists, the herd is the thing. And the herd, as we have seen, can turn on a dime. Today's bedrock truth is tomorrow's lie. Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia.
