| What do we former imperialist bigots think about ourselves? That we have grown to a point where our pride isn't based on childish "my empires bigger than yours" name calling, and have instead based our pride in the knowledge that each and every person in our states can depend upon his fellow countrymen to look after them when times demand it. We take pride in knowing we have created civilised nations out of our barborous selves. Long may we continue to do so, rather than descend into rampant abuse of power we once epitomised, and the US does today.
Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
Winston Churchill |
