It's been noted before -Our [America's] democratic institutions' ages are measured in centuries, not decades. Our ideas about freedom have not of late known regular interruptions by absolute monarchs, emperors and dictators. We have not had dictatorships within living memories. The UK has the longest stop and start tradition of gradually increasing freedom in the world today. The US has the longest enduring written Constitution. France and Germany have governments built on the ashes of Hitler and Vichy.- but we can simply not fail to regulary remind Europe of its relative immaturity in the freedom and democracy biz if we wish to remain free of the delusion that cathedrals built with virtual slave labor give it civilizational superiority to the US. This time, Den Beste has a go, after the latest idiocies to issue forth from Romano Pradi.
