Thank God for Holland!!

You wouldn't like it there.

It's hardly Christian at all; it's overwhelmingly secular.
They allow prostitution.
Marijuana is legal there
They're incredibly open-minded.
They have socialized medicine.
They value education.

Don't forget it was the first country in the world to allow same sex marriage. They legalized it way back in 2001.

They also take global warming very seriously.

And after a hurricane hit in the 1950s, their government spent massive amounts of money creating a system of canals to prevent future such disasters. They have not had any hurricane related fatalities since.

I used to fly their for business in the late 1990s. Had the best possible introduction to it possible and have loved it there ever since.

Pretty important country. Has been for a long time now. Even the founding fathers of this country would agree, as they used them as the model of success for the separation of church and state:

"It was the belief of all sects at one time that the establishment of Religion by law, was right & necessary; that the true religion ought to be established in exclusion of every other; And that the only question to be decided was which was the true religion. The example of Holland proved that a toleration of sects, dissenting from the established sect, was safe & even useful. The example of the Colonies, now States, which rejected religious establishments altogether, proved that all Sects might be safely & advantageously put on a footing of equal & entire freedom; and a continuance of their example since the declaration of Independence, has shewn that its success in Colonies was not to be ascribed to their connection with the parent Country. If a further confirmation of the truth could be wanted, it is to be found in the examples furnished by the States, which have abolished their religious establishments altogether."

As posted prior, “to every thing there is a season.” “Liberals” don’t hate the country, they just hate the way it’s run. Please expand on your argument that the US is the most ‘important.’

The USA was far more respected in the world under Obama than under Trump, except maybe in a few countries like Russia, Nigeria, and Venezuela:

Actually, it turns out that the US under Trump is less popular and trustworthy around the world than even Putin or Xi:

If this is making America Great Again, please make it stop.

For James anyone who doesnt agree with him (well actually whatever his cult leader tells him to beleive, he doesnt do his own thinking after all) is a Liberal. He has no clue what the term means any more than he understands what conservative means.
 
I don't know what everyone is fighting about. Holland is a pretty cool place to visit.

Aside of the OP's .....................what ever he was trying to achieve here.

Yeah, but most of that stuff is just what they teach in Holland, and the bits that are true happened before Holland allowed itself to become a cartoon of itself and started, like a spoiled child, to squander it's inheritance. Only question now is, has Holland slid past the point of return and is becoming the briefest dominant power in history, or can it recover.

How has it been increasingly liberal for 200 years? Because we now let women and colored folks vote now? If so, then yeah, I want to be a liberal all my life. You? You want more traditional values? Maybe we can start burning some witches alive at the stake again?

Regarding Christianity and America, I will let two of the chief framers of our Constitution tell you about that:

"During almost fifteen centuries has the legal establishment of Christianity been on trial. What have been its fruits? More or less in all places, pride and indolence in the Clergy, ignorance and servility in the laity, in both, superstition, bigotry and persecution... In some instances they have been seen to erect a spiritual tyranny on the ruins of the Civil authority; in many instances they have been seen upholding the thrones of political tyranny: in no instance have they been seen the guardians of the liberties of the people. Rulers who wished to subvert the public liberty, may have found an established Clergy convenient auxiliaries. A just Government instituted to secure & perpetuate it needs them not."
-James Madison

“ Although the detail of the formation of the American governments is at present little known or regarded either in Europe or in America, it may hereafter become an object of curiosity. It will never be pretended that any persons employed in that service had interviews with the gods, or were in any degree under the influence of Heaven, more than those at work upon ships or houses, or laboring in merchandise or agriculture; it will forever be acknowledged that these governments were contrived merely by the use of reason and the senses.”
~John Adams, “A Defence of the Constitutions of Government of the United States of America” 1787-1788

The trick is to take a snapshot of a moment in history, declare that it was the perfect moment, and try to preserve it through legislation. That's how you do conservatism.
I think maybe the most admired perfect moment was an episode of 'Leave It To Beaver', or 'I Love Lucy'. If they can just get the right mix of laws and enforcement, conservatives are convinced they can live in that moment forever.
