interesting comment and responses from arch-conservative mouthpiece. worth checking out.

a limey supporting india? odd. maybe he's seeing the writing on the wall about londonistan, and getting scared witless about the religion of peace.

of course he remembers to give credit to the limey christists for having 'introduced democracy to india'. wrong. india had democracy when the limeys were swinging from trees.

I am posting my comments in response to the actual article.

>>> India's democracy was a British import

No, ancient Indian republics were the ones to practice democracy first. Go to the following link for more information.

Gandhi was asked once what he thought about western civilization? He answered, sarcastically, it would be a good idea. I am surprised that the author wears an insult as a badge of honor.
