We need friendship and co-operation with the American people on the basis of common interests such as family values, the protection of workers and consumers, strictly limited and strictly legal immigration, fair trade and fair tax, constitutional checks and balances, universal health care, national security, Social Security, energy independence, environmental responsibility, Second Amendment rights and responsibilities, Civil Rights, America as an English-speaking country, and foreign policy realism, all the while constantly subjecting Americanism, its practical outworkings, and its imitations, to a comprehensive, coherent and constructive critique drawing on the whole Biblico-Patristic tradition as mediated by, in, through and as sources variously Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox.
And the American people needs that, too.
I'd rather just have it as a colony. Empires need meat for their grinders.
