America is our offspring, and she has a lot of her Mothers Traits doesnt she The thing is...how can you admire Englands heratage if your arent a Royalist?? What bit of our past is it you wish was still living We never recovered from the Two World Wars... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPomGrg0aPI ...."Most of us are white in the head, but feel black inside, we arent black or white, we are a lonely, lost, sad, displaced group of people"...."What is their in my culture you value?"...." We were told England was the greates country in the world, we came here, and to our suprise, found you wouldnt accept us!"... ... The old idea of Empire is repugnant to us today, but the collonies are a legacy, which we inherited, and which can not just be thrown off."

Have you read Mark Steyn's America Alone? It is a must-read. In brief, he documents Europe's plummeting birthrate and the concomitant high rates of Muslim immigration and high Muslim birthrate. Most European countries are not even having enough children to replace the population yet alone have population growth. The subject matter is historically important but is essentially ignored by academia, the media, politicians, etc. He predicts a future "Eurabia" with massive changes in Europe's culture. Additionally, the European socialist welfare state will collapse. It is frightening stuff but if you read only one book this year make it this one.

All the Great Empires of olde have been Eclipsed in one way or another, perhaps we are just still in that same cycle dispite the post-modern age, after the Islamists, may come the chinese for all we know. Europe is probably past saving at this point. But there is hope that America can push on. Her rise is only Sixty Years old. The Average span for an Empire is around 2-3 Centuries. With any luck America will be able to preserve what little is left of her Parents and their Ilk.

What do I admire about English heritage? In less than 30 seconds I thought of the following: OED, Magna Carta, Shakespeare, RAF and the Battle of Britain ("if the British Empire and its commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, "This was their finest hour""), Winston Churchill, White Horse Inn, Westminster standards, Cambridge, Oxford, Isaac Newton, etc., etc., etc. I don't know how you could ever tease out the contribution of the monarchy to each of these events and people. It seems like you feel passionately about this subject. Perhaps we can agree that England has a rich cultural heritage which hopefully isn't in irreversible decline and we can agree to disagree about the merits of monarchy vs. other forms of government?

Your a Parliamentarian then Opposite sides of the Civil War, you and I Democrasy is just the most fair way of getting a leadership in. Once they are in though, they can be as bad as an unellected leadership. England at Present is under an unellected dumbass of a Prime Minister As for HM The Queen, she is "the embodiement of the Nation" The Fact England HAD an Empire is down to Monarchy and Armed Forces...two things very much in Decline. Britainnia NO LONGER rules the waves I'm afraid...we struggled to hold down Basra Another Video for you to watch...Just listen to the language used, and the Titles given by The Garter http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E93KHq965K8
