We Are Different

"Daniel Hannan, member of the European Parliament, has a wonderful talk on many things important for us...Sometimes it takes an outsider to see the truth that we miss in our day to day lives." From http://www.drrobphotostop.blogspot.com/
Thanks -Z- for the great videos and the good job, keep it up.



Now in this next video it gets even better. You have to love this quote from Mr. Hannan: "As a British politician who loves his country, appealing to Americans who still believe in theirs, honor the vision of the men who wrote your Constitution. Respect the most sublime document of its kind ever drafted by human intelligence."



Let us once again remember what Thomas Paine, another Brit, told us in his pamphlet Common Sense: “Behold thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways, now make us a king to judge us like all the other nations” (1 Samuel 8:5 Quoted out of Thomas Paine’s Common Sense). Thomas Paine hit this nail right on the head even before our Constitution was written, when he said: “And here we cannot but observe that their motives were bad, viz. that they might be like unto other nations…whereas their true glory lay in being as much unlike them as possible.”
The problem is that it’s “sons walk not in thy ways.” Now give us a President to make us like all other nations, whereas our true glory is America being as much unlike any other nation as possible. There are good things happening here in America. I know it is easy to get swept up in all the negativity but we have to look for the good. I will be working on a blog that, hopefully, will shed some light on who we are as people, and what we have here in our Constitution and our country. There are two more of these videos with a question and answer part with Mr. Hannan if you want to watch them they are linked from my site under the videos title to the right.
