...In an essay entitled Put away the flags, Howard Zinn, the Leftist author of the best-selling book A People's History of the United States, writes that "On this July 4, we would do well to renounce nationalism and all its symbols: its flags, its pledges of allegiance, its anthems, its insistence in song that God must single out America to be blessed. Is not nationalism – that devotion to a flag, an anthem, a boundary so fierce it engenders mass murder – one of the great evils of our time, along with racism, along with religious hatred?" He concludes that "We need to assert our allegiance to the human race, and not to any one nation."

The problem is, rights can only be protected by sovereign states upholding their territorial integrity. How is "the global community" or "the human race" going to protect Mr. Zinn's liberties? For a free society to function, the state has to pass laws in the best interest of its citizenry and enforce these within its territory. Otherwise, self-government is impossible. In order to defend this territory from outside aggression, people need to identify with it as something more than just a random space on a map. By removing sovereign states, you remove the very foundations of a free society. Maybe some groups actually desire this?

The British Foreign Minister Milliband stated late in 2007 that the European Union should expand to include Muslim nations in North Africa and the Middle East. The French President Sarkozy and the German Chancellor Angela Merkel confirmed this early in 2008. Since the EU involves the free movement of people across borders, European leaders are thus opening the floodgates to tens of millions of Muslims at a time when native Europeans already feel like aliens in their own cities.

Remember the per centage of Muslims in Britain is not that much different to the US and you are only kidding yourself if you think they are more integrated into American society than they are in Britain.

They will pay lip service for their own gain but behind the scenes plot to at the very least teach their children that their culture and ways are the only true ways.

I agree with you about the Muslims, but I think America hasn’t (yet) rolled over to appease them as much as Britain has.

[snugs]

Probably because of the geographical and different way our governemnts are run. To an extend we have more central government then America so MPs try to appease the total population not just their local area.

The very size of country and how many Americans want their laws and government organized with States rights I think make such issues remain more localised and where there is appeasement as no doubt there is it remains more local.

Yes, where there is appeasement of Muslims in this country now, it is local, but if the Democrats take the House and Senate and Presidency, it will be national policy by this time next year.
