I had plans for two other posts today but something just hit me as I thought about all those Islamists marching in England calling for the death of Jews.

100 years ago many of the countries where those people came from were parts of the British Empire which the sun never set on.

70 Years ago the British started granting independence to those lands in Africa, Asia and the Middle East. By 1980 45 years ago just about all of the countries that were once part of the British were independent and instead of being governed by the British Crown under British common law, they were now governed by their own people in their own lands.

And now two generations after the last of the nations of the British Empire left to be governed by their own population and leaders there has been mass immigration of people out of those countries no longer governed by the British to the British Isles where they are.

And this isn’t restricted to England either, France, Germany the Dutch and Italy no longer have their colonies either granting them independence or losing them in war and having the UN remove their governance from under the auspices of Western Civilization to let their lands be run according to their own traditions.

And yet millions given the chance to live under their own laws without the rule of those evil white Europeans have decided to leave the lands of their fathers to head to Europe to live under those evil white colonizers rather than in their own countries.

Discuss.

This via Instapundit reminded me of what we once were as a civilization:

Historically republics always commit suicide when the people are too comfortable, it’s just jarring to have lived to see America at it’s high of greatness to have fallen to where we are today and know that we, as a nation, did it to ourselves.
