Your empire is now like a tyranny: it may have been wrong to take it; it is certainly dangerous to let it go.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Look to the past and remember no empire rises that sooner or later won't fall.
This empire, unlike any other in the history of the world, has been built primarily through economic manipulation, through cheating, through fraud, through seducing people into our way of life, through the economic hit men. I was very much a part of that.
Without the Empire we should be tossed like a cork in the cross current of world politics. It is at once our sword and our shield.
America is an empire. I hope you know that now. All empires, by definition, are bumbling, shambolic, bullying, bureaucratic affairs, as certain of the rightness of their cause in infancy, as they are corrupted by power in their dotage.
If monarchy is corrupting - and it is - wait till you see what overt empire does to us.
I am the Empire at the end of the decadence.
The American empire will not disappear... because America does not have an empire.
You know, when I was a girl, the idea that the British Empire could ever end was absolutely inconceivable. And it just disappeared, like all the other empires.
The United States should stop being the 'empire' and be concerned about other countries. You've got to be more worried about your own people.
There's no longer a monolithic evil empire somewhere, spreading a different philosophy of life. That doesn't exist.
