Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...
The USA is the strongest country in the world, correct? (The EU *might* be stronger, but since they're still incredibly disunited when it comes to military & foreign policy, the whole is less than the sum of its parts for the moment).
I think you anglos call that "non sequitur". It isn't a troll either as the SC has let loads of limitations on rights pass. It is, in fact, useless.
"It was a simple statement by a politician to the home audience."
I know. It's still strange.
"Its wasn't a knock on your tiny little island or its lack of consititutional protections of civil rights..."
As I am living in a country that is
a) landlocked, and
b) "invented" the specialised Constitutional Court in 1920,
I have to say you don't make any sense.
"...and unable to overturn via that constitution you don't have."
Are you talking about the UK ? I suggest you do some reading on EU law in the UK, esp post Factortame, and the Human Rights Act.

Well if you and your country were only half as good as you claim, there would be no need to blah about it all the time. It looks like desparate self assurance, keeping the common delusions together.
You leave our delusions alone, man. We're very happy together.

It hasn't let loads of limitions on the Constitution pass. Perhaps you are talking about foreigners that aren't citizens of the US and therefor don't fall under the full protection of the US Constitution. If they want to live here they should become citizens. Till then they can behave themselves and follow US laws. Including not coming here illegaly.

Its normal. What country is so humble humble that the leader is going to call it second rate unless said leader is looking to spend more money.

Sorry I mistook you for a Brit. A specialized Constitutional Court implies that you have a rather detailed and extensive constitution. One is not needed in the US.
I have to say you don't make any sense.

Yes I was talking about the UK. They don't have a Constitution. Any law in the UK can be changed by a simple majority of Parliment.

Sure are touchy about US internal politics aren't you? Its like a band claiming in every city that it has the best audience. Except in this case Bush is, in at least some sense, right. For once.
The US Constitution has allowed a lot of protections such as allowing US citizens to be jailed for an indefinite amount of time for the "War Agaisnt Terror".

For those who aspire to live in a high cost, high tax, big government place, our nation and the world offers plenty of options. Vermont, Canada and Venezuela all offer you the opportunity to live in the socialist, big government paradise you long for. –Senator Rubio
This is a funny thread. I like NYE's style. The Eurowhiners keep widening the circle of topics because they haven't found something to hang their hats on yet.
The "we are the best" is political ceremony for a country that is based on nothing more than ideals.
I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891
Agreed, it's pretty funny watching them whine because a politician said his country is the best. NEWS FLASH stop the presses I do believe it speaks more of their insecurities.
Waiting for someone to ask me to define country
It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

In honesty, i.e not troll mode. How do you think the rest of Europe, the USA and the rest of the world would have reacted to occupation of the Republic of Ireland on the grounds of anti-terrorism.
I could only see UK interests and reputation evaporating quicker than a puddle in a drought.
One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.
