You know there's something wrong with Britain and Europe when you see routine denouncement of "American imperialism and world haegemony" by students attending the Imperial College, or politicians with titles such as OBE (Order of the British Empire), and when they sneer at the American Christians and the seemingly unsecular approach to things when, hello, there is one big Church of England as an established church.

There is a similar irony of the Democrats who fight against the exploitation of Minorities by exploiting them. And the anit-war protestors who think war GW is evil then share a tent with George Galloway of Al Sharpton.

I think most people, in most countries are idiots. Percentage wise it is easier to calculate in the US as they have only two parties. In the UK is a little bit more different as we half 3 major parties (Lab, Lib and Con) and three minor parties (Green, UKIP, BNP). Most of our politicians are idiots, most of the people who vote for them are idiots.

He's trying to claim they're being hypocritical, but I don't see it. The COE may still be "official," but it's hardly relevant to the nation as a whole. It's just a figurehead, like the monarchy. Christianity, on the other hand, remains a potent force in American politics and society. That's why they sneer.
