The sun never set on the British Empire

I was watching the old film with Peter O'Toole "The Ruling Class" and thought about a time when the Sun Never Sat On the British Empire. What happened? Where did that Empire go? Are we seeing our own future, because we refuse to learn the lessons of the past?

The Brits took over the Bicycle Industry and today where are the pride of England the british racing bikes? Then the government took over the Auto industry, once thriving. I remember in the 50's all the wonderful MG's, Jag's, Morris Minor's, Austin and Jensen Healy's. One by one they were sold off to other countries and Now they are gone from Britian.

In 1947 England started the National Health Services. Today there are 800,000 people waiting for surgeries. Death Panels? NO. Waiting until it's too late? Yes.

Today how many of our Auto's are still left in the US? Remember the Pontiac? It's gone, so are many others. Now National Health Service, by another name, but as the poet said "A rose by any other name"

Now just announced a few months ago, one section of England will be allowed to practice their Sharia Law. How soon will we follow? Our great country once ruled by Laws. The same laws for rich or poor. This is our heritage, will we also see it changed? Will we still be Americans? Where is the melting pot where people came, and are still coming, from all over the world where they could have a chance, because we had one set of laws. They came like my grandfather for freedom and to become an American. He spoke German, my Aunt's parents spoke Italian, but they were not "German Americans" or "Italian Americans" they became Americans. Now everyone wants to split.

Where are the Americans? If we don't learn the lessons of history, we will be doomed to follow the same path. Will the America, the UNITED States of America become a footnote in history as so many others before us?

Only you can answer that. Learn who we are, what we stand for, insist on HONOR among our elected officials.
