Just look at Freud and his explanation of it. Many 19th Century Liberals said you can have proper sexual morality, meaning abstaining till marriage, even without God and Christianity involved. Logical, practical reasons could exist for it. While it is true that many other Liberals, like H.G. Wells or Bertrand Russell, pushed for a more Libertine Sexuality, not all did. Liberals in the 1950’s didn’t push for Same-Sex marriage and gay rights either.<br /><br />A lot of it comes form Culture, because you don’t change everything about a people overnight and how they approached Communism will still be rooted in who they were and their own Cultural background. China to this day still has a Society based around communal Respect for persons, and cooperation that comes right out of its Imperial Days. So in that way, one needs to be careful. What we think of as Conservatives would have been seen as Left of Centre 50 years ago.ZAROVEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17668854596329493360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-46803686338180306742010-09-18T12:53:42.589-05:002010-09-18T12:53:42.589-05:00Communism is as liberal as it gets -there is more ...Communism is as liberal as it gets -there is more to liberalism than "sexual liberation". It is only that it is harder to change social norms than to change government. Many communist leaders were excessively promiscuous. In Cambodia marriage was abolished under the communists so any sex would have been extramarital. Look up virtually any modern communist party in the west and they support every form of perversion imaginable.MadMonarchisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08083008336883267870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-76316762824262067042010-09-18T10:28:41.758-05:002010-09-18T10:28:41.758-05:00communism is secular and republican, but hardly li...communism is secular and republican, but hardly liberal.<br /><br />Liberals support gay rights, and free sexual rights, communism opposes them.<br /><br />in eastern european countries and in china during the cold war, you could get booted out if you had extramarital sex or even mentioned sexual topics in public, people were taught in school in communist countries that sex was only for procreationAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-25474815062584197132010-09-18T09:00:38.645-05:002010-09-18T09:00:38.645-05:00That's one thing I did notice, I don't rec...That's one thing I did notice, I don't recall there ever being such ugliness when the Pope would visit one of the dominions like Canada or Australia. It strikes me as very telling that there would be this much ill-will over a visit by the Pope but not over some of the truly horrible world dictators and the like who have had state visits to Britain.MadMonarchisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08083008336883267870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-67533985992847132172010-09-17T23:02:40.201-05:002010-09-17T23:02:40.201-05:00Communism is secular, liberal republicanism. This ...Communism is secular, liberal republicanism. This is something I tell the American Neocons all the time.<br /><br />My own thoughts are these, that others here including Mad Monarchist are right. The real reason the Pope is attacked is because he represents Religion, specifically Christianity, in the age in which we are told we are too enlightened for Religion, and that Religion holds us back. The Lie of course is obvious, as they really didn’t trade Religion for Reason, they have exchange done Religion for another. Secular Humanism is no less a Religion than is Christianity, and being an Atheist doesn’t make you nonreligious. But the British Isles except Ulster are anti-Christian because the Christian Faith has been depicted as evil for the last 30 or 40 years, and before then the idea of it as evil or sinister has existed since the enlightenment and has filtered in. It is a tragedy, and one we need to work against. The whole of it rests on a Spirit of Rebellion, not of the Freedom they think they get. Their Hatred leads to bondage and they are tricked into it by thinking it being freed. Freed form what? The bondage of Tradition, Salvation, and unconditional Love? And free to do what? Subject yourself to the ever expanding godless, and faceless state?<br /><br />We should pray and work had to reverse this in Britain. If the Secularists can turn a devoutly Christian nation like the UK into an Atheistic one, we can turn it back into a Christian one, and trends do not need to remain permanent. Revivals have happened before, and can be dramatic.<br /><br /><br />On an aside: The Algerians were likely Muslims, and I don’t think that reflects badly for the UK.<br /><br />Also, I dislike correcting a Blog owners grammar but its one of my foibles. The Phrase “Cme alive” is popular but its bad Grammar. You cannot come condition. Think about it, do you ever come Hungry or come awake or come tired? You become Hungry or come to Hunger, but you never come hungry. (Well, unless you arrive somewhere and are hungry, but that’s not quiet the same.)<br /><br />It should be “becomes alive“, or “comes to live“.ZAROVEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17668854596329493360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-53432936311833168412010-09-17T22:07:58.133-05:002010-09-17T22:07:58.133-05:00A gracious host honours his guest, and a gracious ...A gracious host honours his guest, and a gracious guest honours his host. Her Majesty and His Holiness are certainly honouring each other.<br /><br />But I was quite truly astonished by the thought that the British government shouldn't pay for a state visit by a foreign monarch. The same sentiment exists among republicans here in Australia when our Queen or her family visits, and I'm sure that the Pope would also recieve some murmurs about "cost to the taxpayer". But to expect a foreign nation to pay for tours to which you are host is extremely ungracious and rude, and dishonours the guest and the host.<br /><br />And considering the generally anti-Christian views of much of the establishment in the UK, I'd have to agree with English Jacobite - it's a manifestation of that under a guise of anti-Catholic sectarianism.<br /><br />In a final note building on the above sentiment, the idea of tolerance of other peoples views is somewhat skewed. Christian teaching is hardly intolerant. In fact, it is extremely fair. If we were to apply the same standards to Islam, then it would be outlawed and advocation for Sharia would be viewed as sedition (as it should be).<br /><br />But because of a perception of Christian intolerance, intolerance of actually Christian attitudes has become the favoured modus operandi of any who seek to curry favour with the establishment. Views on it as simple and backwards do not help either, and I'm astonished at just how much I didn't learn about my own religion either (I'm on an Alpha course, which is presented by the Anglican vicar Nicky Gumbel. And I'm Catholic. Which is great!).<br /><br />Well then may we say God save the Queen, because nothing will save these money-pinching scrooges.

On this papal visit, for example, I thought it was great how the Queen expressed her thanks to the Pope for the support the papacy has given to the peace process in Northern Ireland. The Royal Family themselves have been greatly hurt by that conflict but they never let the legitimate, righteous indignation they felt over that turn into bigotry which says alot about the character of the Queen and the other royals.MadMonarchisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08083008336883267870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-57147865434664624942010-09-17T12:04:36.865-05:002010-09-17T12:04:36.865-05:00Just to toss this out there, the latest issue of &...Just to toss this out there, the latest issue of "Majesty" magazine has a lovely article, mostly photos, of the Queen and other members of the British royal family visiting the Vatican from years past to present.Elisanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-39451688280148855342010-09-17T08:25:52.032-05:002010-09-17T08:25:52.032-05:00No its not anti-catholicism per say thats the prob...No its not anti-catholicism per say thats the problem, as a majority back home don't give a toss about Christianity much less the Catholic vs Protestant stuff. The sad fact is liberal secularism is the new religion in the UK, and the Pope is opposed simply because he's the most ardent public opponent of this; someone who dares to be act as a Christian conscience. The anti-catholic bigotry is but a very useful tool used by his securalist enemies to reinforce their attacks on him, and shouldn't be taken as the prime motive in my opinion.English Jacobitenoreply@blogger.com
