The Moral Case for the British Empire

  The most recent Prager University video is most informative; especially for those who live in this era of multi-culturalism and political correctness. The popular message du jour mocks and denigrates the ideals that made the British Empire great. Our own President Obama grew up detesting British Colonialism and displayed it in the first days of his presidency by returning to Britain the bust of Winston Churchill.

I hope you'll watch The Moral Case for the British Empire. Older generations knew full well Britain's history, but history books have devolved over the years. What was once good and upright has become indefensible in academic parlance.

This excellent 5 minute history lesson succinctly explains the positive role the British Empire played in the 20th century.

If Everyone Kept Just One of the Commandments

Sick of the politics of envy, yet? Had enough of the class warfare rhetoric? Why are we constantly hearing about millionaires and billionaires paying their fair share? What's the point of it all, anyway? Is this a new tactic peculiar to this election cycle?

Well, not exactly. The problem has existed since the very beginning. Everyone's heard "the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence." But that way of thinking serves no good purpose. In fact, quite the opposite is true. 

There is a really good reason the tenth commandment warns us "not to covet," which is an old timey word we don't hear very often. But, to covet means "to want or lust after something" which belongs to someone else. That's been wrong forever and for good reason. It leads to crime, even when government is involved. 

The constant cry for tax increases on the rich is a cruel ploy which can induce coveting and envy on those who aren't as wealthy. That's just not right. Politicians shouldn't cause division like that. But they do. When politicians put people into groups and pit them against each other, it causes division and fuels jealousy and hate.

It wasn't meant to be that way. Our country's motto of "E Pluribus Unum" meant to unify. It means, "out of many, one."
  
Think of it...wouldn't it be a better world if everyone kept the tenth commandment, "Thou shalt not covet?" No more politics of envy--no more class warfare--no more insistance from pandering politicians that the rich needs to pay their "fair share" (which of course they already do). What would politicians do if we all kept the tenth commandment?

It would force them into the arena of ideas, but unfortunately far too many politicians are bereft of ideas which could have a positive affect on our culture and society.
