Iată cîteva gînduri pentru prietenii noștri americani din partea unui gînditor admirabil.
„IT may have seemed something less than a compliment to compare the American Constitution to the Spanish Inquisition. But oddly enough, it does involve a truth; and still more oddly perhaps, it does involve a compliment. The American Constitution does resemble the Spanish Inquisition in this: that it is founded on a creed. America is the only nation in the world that is founded on a creed. That creed is set forth with dogmatic and even theological lucidity in the Declaration of Independence; perhaps the only piece of practical politics that is also theoretical politics and also great literature.

It enunciates that all men are equal in their claim to justice, that governments exist to give them that justice, and that their authority is for that reason just. It certainly does condemn anarchism, and it does also by inference condemn atheism, since it clearly names the Creator as the ultimate authority from whom these equal rights are derived. Nobody expects a modern political system to proceed logically in the application of such dogmas, and in the matter of God and Government it is naturally God whose claim is taken more lightly. The point is that there is a creed, if not about divine, at least about human things.”

Interesant… constitutia SUA comparata cu inchizitia. Ar putea da apa la moara liberalilor care nu-s de-acord cu interegerea crestinilor despre America si fondatorii ei. Constituita americana e unica si prin faptul ca ea proclama dreptul de fericire. oarecum amuzant pt ca nu stiu cine ne poate garanta fericirea; macar s-avem dreptul la ea. Chesterston remarca bine pomenirea Creatorului. Si cind te gindesti cit efort la secularisti vs. separarea Biswericii de stat… separare pe o duc pina la ridicol… Un fel de curat constitutional!
American creed of Fathers as John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and George Washington is away gone …
„We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.” – there was a time:)
america’s today means sclavagism…and not oly so, means depravation (they call it liberalism)
Comparatia lui Chesterton cu Inchizitia e cat se poate de fidela.
Teroarea datoriilor cu care traieste aproape fiecare cetatean apasa aproape la fel de mult cum apasa Inchizitia in Evul Mediu..
americanii si-au dorit un „Paradis fara Dumnezeu” fara sa isi dea insa seama ca nu poate exista fericire in afara lui Dumnezeu – citez C.S Lewis
eu am numit-o „nebunia omului in cele mai diverse forme
referitor la „dreptul la fericire” – america asa s-a dorit.. sa fie „tara fericirii” – american dream
de acolo si the fakest smile that you’ve ever seen
„daca s-ar putea construi casa fericirii stiti care ar fi cea mai mare incapere? – sala de asteptare”…
this is what I saw in America…
