Hello, Once again many thanks for your comments. I think that at the end of the day you should just admit to yourself that you just wish you where British. I don't blame you for feeling like this.

Yes Sir. I get your point. "We report, you decide", is quite bogus! Treading very carefully (due to censorship) we are ALL fed some of the facts some of the time: but all of the time we have no absolute truth.
I tend to do the Brit thing and not look at what is NOT said, but rather what is implied by what is not said. There are no cleverer disseminators than the British, and whilst asking everyone to 'go to hell' they somehow convey the message that, 'it is an enjoyable trip'.
The US, bless them, are far more brazen in some regards and have generally less tact. Their comparative 'encouragement' might be something like, 'make my day...' These comments notwithstanding still beg the question. Is the US going in a similarr direction the USA? Sadly, I see the UN and the EU as whittling down the resolve of the UK to the point that absolute socialism is inevitable. I think the UK's identity and law base has already been so eroded by The Hague, that the UK has gone past the point of no return in that regard. I see that same thing happening in the US. Slowly, inexorably we are being worn down by the secular humanists who are convinced that Uncle Sam should have a sex change. The US is becoming an emasculated Nanny state with little relief on the horizon. PGW

Hello,
Many thanks for your comment. I am not so certain that I am "unaware of the facts as reported". The facts reported are individual statements which alone certainly go some way to suporting Tom's view. I though come to my conclusions by putting these "facts" into a wider perspective concerning life in England that I gain from various media outlets (not all based in the UK) and from my daily relations with the common man in the street. I think that to take Tom's view (which he is welcome too)would be like getting all my infomation about the world from Fox News (fair and balanced).
Cheers
Steve

Well sir. Respectfully, may I ask you WHY you are unaware of the facts as reported?
The article asked a succinct question; is the USA heading in the same direction as the UK? Most of my family in the UK are blithely unaware of what their government is doing and so long as the normal 'prole-feed' is dished up periodically, they don't care.
They have learned to 'live with it'.
A couple years ago I was fortunate to land a job back in the US again. The US is tending towards the Marxist mentality with so many loud left-wingers and buckets of money; the nation is being swayed towards a socialist economy. Government is getting even more top-heavy here in the US and the writing is on the wall. After all, the 'few' that really run both countries are not above letting the Humanists (and their infernal manifesto) run the show so long as it falls within their long-term goals. The 'control-goal' has not really changed, just become a little more obvious. The engeineered crisis are still just the same and happening with increasing regularity. The sole purpose of these, of course, is to pass more laws and enact more 'safety features' for the society they care so much about. George O. was not wrong!! PGW

I agree if you're talking about a proper understanding of the original intent of separation of church and state. That is, there should be no state-mandated religion, and that the ones to whom you're referring are those who mandate that this country and its citizens bow to the god of humanism. Is that what you meant?

I agree that it is spiritual warfare; and it comes from that lack of separation of church and state that got us our freedom to begin with. They never really severed those ties in Europe or England.

Bizarre views on England. Of course people in big houses should pay more taxes than those in small houses. Of course there should be NHS dentistry - $90 for 12 crowns - we can afford cheap health care, because we don't pay the salary of HMOs. There is nothing Christian about right wing economics.

Two scriptures come to mind when I read this article: 1) 1 Thessalonians 4:3-12:
"For this is the will of God, even your sanctification,that ye should abstain from fornication: that every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and nonor; not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles whjich know not God: That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter; because that the Lord is the avenger of all such as we also have forewarned you and testified. For God hath not called us unto uncleanness. He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God,who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit. But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another. And indeed ye do it toward all the brethren which are in all Macedonia: but we beseech you brethren, tha tye increase more and more; and that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you; that ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing."
2) 2 Thessalonians 3:10-12:
"For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat. For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies. Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread."

The better question is why are we following on the heels of England and the rest of the world? the answer we want to be liked. The democratic party for a long time has stated many of the items mentioned in this article, thank to the great experiment of social reforming of te Johnson era we who have low incomes suffer as atated when it comes to far more than just dental work. Why are we allowing the golbal warming effort to take such control why do who listen to people who trogh temper tantrums and say that the American people are spoil and selfish and they know how to care for us. Why do we allow ourselves to be told that giving more money to a bloated over paided goverment will allow us more freedom? It seems the more they get the more they want and to get more they exploit our fears. The demo party said it well they feel our pain to our shame we think this means they care when in fact the oposite seems to be true. Now they have a little power what is their agenda raise taxes raise taxes and yes Virginia they want to raise their wages, saying that it is costly for them to lead.

Although some may disagree with this, history does show that in the last century or so we have indeed followed England and/or Europe. If you will remember the problems Spurgeon faced in England in the late 1800s as compared with the problems we've faced here concerning spiritual decline, the move of England, and now the US, for getting more involved in the UN, and now the illegal immigration issue(s) in the US that Britain went through in the late '80s and '90s. There may be other reasons in addition that would explain these government's actions, but the bottom line is that we've become more alike because we have fallen asleep and let those that govern do so without, and in many cases govern vehemently opposed to, Christian principles. To (almost)quote George Washington "...this constitution is meant to govern a moral and religious people...it is unsuitable for anything else." Those who seek to steal this country, or any country for that matter which once called itself "Christian", do so in rebellion against God. Make no mistake - this is spiritual warfare pure and simple.

Hello I live in the UK and cannot reconcile this article with the country I live in. Over here many British have the view that a great many Americans know very little about current affairs unless they happen in their country. This article backs that preconcieved idea up. The worrying thing is that you where actually here!
