Are you addressing this to anyone in particular?
I don't think there is much question about what an empire is. The British Empire. The Ottoman Empire. The Roman Empire.
It is a collection of countries ruled remotely by a single, more powerful country.
For anyone who maintains that the U.S. in an "empire," I would only ask, what other countries do we control/rule?

No…..I agree those are correct examples of empires. However, in an empire the purpose of the subjugated states are to serve the interest of the center. In the Roman Empire the tribute and the roads flowed to Rome, so is the US an empire?

For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

I have to say Liberty, I find your world view (clinically) fascinating.

What can I say Gob, I try to be honest and logical as I see the world. If you would like to more specific I might be willing to provide more detail.
For example, I don’t know how you see this, but do you agree all government is fascist to certain degree?

In the same way that all government is communist to a certain degree, yes.

That explains it, then. Because you see the world as dishonest and illogical, all of your posts follow suit.liberty wrote:I try to be honest and logical as I see the world.
