Entry: America: An Empire? Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/america_an_empire#12853 Post contents: Mr. Sarto; Certainly I appreciate the late Mrs. Bhutto's pro-life stance - this is what caused the real heartfeltness of my prayer for her soul a couple of days ago. That said: [i]FFLA said Bhutto prefers “the empowerment of women” over their destruction via abortion.[/i] That's the problem. The "empowerment" of women is basically inseparable from the masculinization of women, the sexual revolution, and the abortion "rights" movement. Or at very least, it has been at any point since around the time Rousseau picked up a pen. Mrs. Bhutto tried to stay in the middle of the road between traditionalism/religion and modernity/secularism, and got run over in both directions. Literally. Condi Rice sent her back to Pakistan on a suicide mission - it couldn't have been any more so if they'd flown her back into Pakistan in an [i]Okha[/i] rocket plane. And al-Quaeda did, well, what al-Quaeda does - the old story of the fox and the scorpion crossing the river comes to mind. Mr. Waring; The Holy Roman Empire is the only true and Christian empire, you say, and the only real follow-on to Rome? *cough*Byzantium*cough* Mr. Sabin; It seems that America [i]is[/i] your religion. The problem with that is that anything that your god hands you down from on high is infallible. And what your god has been handing down lately ain't exactly the Sermon on the Mount.
